Steve Gaynor, Co-Founder of Gone Home developer Fullbright shared that Fullbright is now a solo company. Gaynor has been accused with toxic workplace behaviour in recent years.
Gaynor shared a series of tweets about his future at Fullbright and what is to come. He said, “Earlier this year, I stepped back from my role as creative lead on Open Roads. My leadership style was hurtful to people that worked at Fullbright, and for that, I truly apologize.
Stepping back has given me space and perspective to see how my role needs to change and how I need to learn and improve as part of a team, including working with an expert management consultant, and rethinking my relationship to the work at Fullbright.”
Steve Gaynor also stated that he stepped back from the day-to-day development of Open Roads, and the game will be be credited to “The Open Roads Team” at launch. 15 people have left Fullbright since 2019, mainly female workers.
Open Roads is currently set to launch in 2023.
