Several game developers attending GDC 2023 have reported concerning and illegal behavior at the conference on social media. The allegations include drink-spiking, harassment, and assault.
On Twitter, game developer Leena dan Deventer said that women at GDC were "belittled and undermined," harassed, and roofied. "Two women were even lured up to a hotel room by a man in a position of power for a 'pitch', where he then assaulted them," they said.
These allegations were echoed by gaming PR figure Guy Blomberg, who helped organize n karaoke event where the drink-spiking reportedly took place. "I'm furious this not only happened, but that it tends to happen so frequently that it's become almost commonplace," they said.
