Damn it! Yet again, another woman game developer has been driven out of her home by death threats.
Brianna Wu, developer of sci-fi action puzzler Revolution 60, confirmed that she and her husband have left their home due to a credible threat on Twitter. An account spammed Wu with violent threats and made it clear that it was doing so because of her outspoken support of women in tech and gaming. The last tweet publicly published Wu’s home address. In response to that, she called the police, who came to her home.
It’s time for the FBI to start taking these threats seriously and go after the people responsible.
