The Dig

Hello community, I am still in contact with multiple developers on the game to get more information but I see a consistency that is worth sharing. James Dieghan, Nick Mann, and Lindsay Barnett are all terrible abusers of their developers. James has committed several acts of manipulation and sexual abuse. Nick Mann appears to seem to be an accomplice. Lindsay is immature and constantly threatening her team and developers. I am told artists are disposable, producers are forced in overtime with no training, and some developers are paid 300 united states dollar a month. This game is built on abuse and mistreatment. I will not support it as long as they stand here. I am seeing what I can be shared but I feel I must share the vague now.
There is also this link that is important for seeing more: https://www.reddit.com/r/AntiworkPH/comments/1tozcbm/anyone_interested_in_working_on_video_games_avoid/
That is not all. The glass door reviews are disappearing. My post is deleted. Why delete with no mention if not guilty? Why even bother with a random Brazilian posting about things unless there is truth? They are silencing me and they are silencing their developers. They could fix their problems instead. They will not.

Backyard Baseball 2026

It's funny how Lindsey Barnet keeps saying there's no A+I in Backyard Baseball 2026 because James Dieghan (CEO of Mega Cat Studios) hinted that there might be. Mega Cat Studios has made several posts about A+I in games. And it doesn't stop there, James Dieghan himself strongly states his supports of N+F+Ts/blockchains. He partnered with an N+F+T company in 2021.

It doesn't stop there. Mega Cat Studios also has several reviews on Glassdoor pointing to a very toxic work environment. I verified this by contacting an unnamed programmer. If he's telling the truth, people at Mega Cat Studios work many overtime hours, with no pay raises. Furthermore, according to the programmer, people are fired if they speak out against this.

While I want to support a dedicated team behind this game, I don't want to support malicious people, James Dieghan or Lindsey Barnet.

Do not buy Backyard Baseball 2026.
