MidBoss and GaymerX CEO exits after allegations of misconduct (Updated)

GaymerX Foundation‘s Matt Conn has stepped down from his role as CEO of the nonprofit that runs a series of LGBTQIA (lesbian, gay, bi, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual) game events. He is also leaving the indie studio he founded, MidBoss, after a series of allegations have emerged online about his misconduct. Cofounder and president Toni Rocca will be running the company for the foreseeable future.

MidBoss is best known for developing the narrative adventure game 2064: Read Only Memories, which was praised by critics and players for being queer-inclusive. Allegations began trickling in a few days ago that the studio had underpaid people and that Conn had verbally abused and sexually harassed employees. A number of former MidBoss team members have sounded off on the social media platform Twitter about their experiences while working at the studio.
