Tech gaming website IGN has parted ways with their Editor-in-Chief, Steve Butts after an internal investigation into “misconduct,” the company announced in a statement Wednesday.
“IGN initiated an investigation into alleged misconduct involving Steve Butts. As a result of the investigation, the Company has appropriately determined to part ways with Mr. Butts,” IGN general manager Mitch Galbraith said in a statement to the website Kotaku, which first reported the story.
According to Kotaku, the Butts matter had been simmering for months. The Editor-in-Chief was first accused during a meeting as the company was investigating broader issues of workplace harassment.
