The lead designer of Marvel’s Avengers will no longer be a spokesperson for Crystal Dynamics following the emergence of past offensive tweets, the studio has announced.
Waggoner tweeted a statement on Tuesday, saying: “Over the weekend old tweets I wrote from before my time at Crystal resurfaced and I apologise and take full accountability for the hurt they caused to my followers, the community, and those I work with.
“Since that time, I have learned and grown and the content I posted doesn’t reflect who I am today,” he added. “I understand if you cannot accept my apology because of the pain I have caused. I will continue to listen, learn, and work to improve myself.”The official Crystal Dynamics account then retweeted Waggoner’s statement, saying: “It’s incredibly disappointing to see language and views from employees that don’t align with our studio values.
It added: “We apologise to our community and coworkers who are rightfully upset by the content. Brian will no longer be a studio spokesperson or communicating about studio projects.”
