Ethan Gach is a senior reporter at Kotaku and has been responsible for a lot of the site's coverage of the Activision-Blizzard lawsuit, in which the company has been accused of a staggering number of gender discrimination and sexual harassment charges. Back in July, Ethan's reporting revealed details and photographs of the "Cosby Suite", a Blizzcon hotel room described by the lawsuit as a place for one high profile Blizzard developer to hit on and harass female employees while at the show.
"The screenshot spoke for itself in a way. This is the top level allegation that's being made against this studio, that all of these different behaviours, misconduct, mistreatment fall under this larger umbrella that people who have any conception of frat culture will understand to be often white male dominated, aggressive and sexually predatory. And here was this suite and this screenshot that are showing that exact behaviour."
