Last week, Polygon’s Editor-in-Chief Chris Grant posted on his Twitter account that the company is suspending video producer Nick Robinson, with a pending thorough investigation by Vox Media, their parent company.
I’ve heard the allegations re Nick Robinson and am taking them seriously. Nick has been suspended pending a thorough Vox Media inquiry.

Earlier, Nick Robinson had tweeted about Overcook’s Switch port insulting the developers, following a video put up by Digital Foundry showing the game’s performance issues on Nintendo’s new console. This was met with a number of responses saying that Robinson could help the developers if he hadn’t been busy with Twitter DMs of women who worked in the games industry.

Maybe Nick would have time to help the Overcooked devs out if he wasn’t in every woman in games’ DMs all the time

Since then, a number of responses have surfaced, speaking against Robinson. NeoGaf has compiled a list of these, providing a timeline as more and more people label the guy as a sexual predator. There are a few screenshots of a chat between Robinson and another Twitter user have also come up, though everyone on social media has been requested not to ask for “receipts” as it is a private matter. Stay tuned for more updates.
