Techland and Paradox Interactive, authors of Vampire: Bloodlines 2, cut ties with Chris Avellone.

In the context of a climate of accelerated changes in daily life, complaints of inappropriate behavior in various spheres of society are becoming increasingly common and he is now Chris Avellone, father of the memorable Planescape Torment and writer of multiple projects, some of the size of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order , who stars in a sexual harassment situation.

According to developer magazine Gamasutra, multiple allegations of inappropriate conduct emerged over the weekend from Avellone who, according to victims, would have acted more than inappropriate at conventions, and would have abused his reputation as a veteran to harass various women in the industry.

“I witnessed and experienced his conduct first hand. He got me drunk on midori drinks at the expense of the company,”

said one of the victims.

“He and two other friends brought me back to my bedroom, where I pounced in front of them, ” he continued. “Chris Avellone is an abusive, abrasive and conspirator sexual predator. People have tried to help him. He has refused. Stop glorifying him,”

he asked on social media.

According to the testimony of two of the victims, some conventions stopped accepting the developer, who was also fired from his job at the time, only to migrate to new projects. Avellone came out to apologize via Twitter , however, two of the companies he worked with, distanced themselves from him and tried to minimize his employment relationship. “It was never my intention to harm you. I thought we had finished well until I said goodbye. That said, if I can’t do anything to apologize, I understand that and nothing else can be done,” he told one of the victims.

@GeekyFriedRice I should have been better, and I apologize.
