    Why the fuck are gaming companies like this? If it just that they're smaller companies with very relaxed atmospheres? I have worked at a few Fortune 500 companies and can't imagine anything even remotely resembling any of this shit going down without people getting their ass handed to them by HR.

    A part of the answer is that a lot of gaming companies started out as a bunch of dudes in a basement who put a game together. Fast forward a few years and the same dudes are suddenly heads of big multi-million companies with dozens of employees, while they never had to learn anything about management. It's pretty disillusioning how many upper managers in the gaming industry are just "vibing" their way through it all.
