A former Rocksteady employee has turned down a Women in Games award following allegations of sexual harassment at the developer.
Kim MacAskill, who worked as a writer at the studio including on the forthcoming Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League game, was recently nominated for a lifetime achievement award by the nonprofit organisation.
However, MacAskill is now “bowing out” from the nomination as both Rocksteady and Warner Bros. Interactive are among the event’s sponsors. Receiving the award would be “an unspoken acceptance of what they did,” she has said.
