Elder Scrolls ‘Skyblivion’ fan project dev says they’ve received death threats
It’s unfortunate that the gaming industry is rife with abuse and harassment. Whether it’s workplace discrimination or hate speech online, there’s no shortage of stories when it comes to toxicity. Sadly, indie developers are not immune to this either, as the project lead for the upcoming fan project Skyblivion says they’ve recently been receiving death threats.
In a post on Twitter, @Rebelzize says that working on the unofficial Oblivion remake has meant “dealing with stalking, death threads [sic], harassment,” as well as hacking. An additional tweet goes on to say that the team has “already sacrificed so much” and that the project lead is working a full-time job while having to deal with this. At the time of writing, it’s unclear why they’ve been the target of online abuse.
Its a bit sad that working on Skyblivion means dealing with stalking, death threads, harassment and now hacks as well. These have become such a normal part of what started as a hobby.
