Sounds like it
what exactly do you want them to say?
I would do the same. The comments that would invariably come in would detract from the messaging that they are trying to convey. There are plenty of other places for people to voice their opinion without cluttering up the statement page.turning off comments is such a coward move that anything that comes before the comment section is automatically considered bullshit. for me, anyway.

And hopefully not just some positive noises being made until this dies down. Cos let's face it, that's what usually happens.Yeah seems like they might have actually took action and judging by some of the tweets from other women at Rocksteady it looks like they might be happy with the action taken. Hopefully this represents a culture shift.
An independent third party that they're paying. This third party will be answering to its paymasters. I'd still be suspicious of all of this.All PR fluff to me until the part about an independent third-party being brought in.
Independent to the studio and within WB or completely outside of the company?All PR fluff to me until the part about an independent third-party being brought in.
Is there an alternative where a third party investigates the situation for free?An independent third party that they're paying. This third party will be answering to its paymasters. I'd still be suspicious of all of this.
And it's twitter...I would do the same. The comments that would invariably come in would detract from the messaging that they are trying to convey. There are plenty of other places for people to voice their opinion without cluttering up the statement page.
"Free?! How can it be free? They are obviously paid behind closed doors!"Is there an alternative where a third party investigates the situation for free?
Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of ways this can lead to nothing.An independent third party that they're paying. This third party will be answering to its paymasters. I'd still be suspicious of all of this.
A very good question.Independent to the studio and within WB or completely outside of the company?
Yeah, this is a big pet peeve of mine. I know "women employees/staff" doesn't roll off the tongue as smoothly but still.
Surely business can think of something. What about an independent commission in the industry, with rules that companies within the industry have to adhere to and answer to. If there is wrongdoing, then the independent body makes their own decision as to whether or not it is investigated, not the company in question itself. I appreciate that the independent body will need to be paid somehow - how about an annual fee by all members?Is there an alternative where a third party investigates the situation for free?

I could see that working but it'll need to be implemented at a parent company level instead of with developers. In this situation it would be a contractual obligation implemented with WB Games and function in the same way a yearly audit would with the company being on retainer and the fee being split but the subsidiary.

That's leaving pretty big bait for crazy ass "fans" to say derogatory and hateful shit about women posting in the reply section. Especially on Twitter.turning off comments is such a coward move that anything that comes before the comment section is automatically considered bullshit. for me, anyway.
