So what has he admitted? Wearing a suggestive shirt and naming projects after women?

He "admitted" to holding a board meeting inside a hot tub (big one) and they invited women from work.
So they showed up in bikinis and got to be in on the board meeting (with the guys in swimtrunks).

(this is from the Neogaf thread)

Afaik thats the "worst" of it.

That doesn't sound too bad.

That fact you guys are isolating a t-shirt or game code name tells me why this must continue.

NONE of you are asking if there was more. NONE of you are asking if any of the women were actually sexually harassed or abused.

Okay, what more was there?

SpokenTruth said:

You're just assuming it was t-shirts and codenames. If it were just that, then yes, this is blown much out of proportion. But if it were more, and none of us knows all the details, then we should be ashamed of ourselves for trivializing their trauma.

Have any of you read The Ultimate History of Video Games or read early interviews from him? He has openly admitted and bragged about sexually harassing his employees. I'm not saying he shouldn't be honored for his contributions to the industry but we now live in an era where you don't reward people for harming others.

So what was this sexual harassment?
