Google is just giving me people complaining about her coming out as nonbinary and being too woke.

What they did to their employee was very shitty, but I'm confused as to why you'd go back and randomly pick this Resident Evil 5 article from 2007. By their own account they used to be a gigantic edgelord piece of shit around that time and were already apologising for it like 10 years ago
The more recent stuff is definitely worthy of concern but this isn't worth bringing up when criticising them IMO
I have located the two sides of the story for the JSS and Justin (editor/assistant) pay dispute if you haven't read them yet. Feel free to make up your own mind. Justin's Side (sorry it's hard to read, click through to each Twitter post to see the images in full) James Stephanie Sterling's side
I'd heard of this before and yeah, it makes Sterling look like a giant abusive hypocrite (especially for someone who regularly rails against how workers are treated in the gaming industry). I just think their posts from 15+ years ago shouldn't be brought up in the same conversation.
