Focus on Love, Not Malice: Focus Entertainment Complains About Sexist and Aggressive Online Attacks on Its Employees

Focus Entertainment has filed official legal complaints against some players after company employees began receiving direct threats of a violent and sexist nature.

Focus Entertainment reminded members of its gaming communities about the rules of conduct. The company emphasized that players should maintain a friendly and inclusive atmosphere, and these requirements apply not only to other users and moderators but also to developers and other employees.

Today, we would like to remind everyone of the rules of conduct in this community. We expect you to contribute to creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and respected, be it other community members, moderators, development teams, or Focus employees. Unfortunately, Focus Entertainment employees have repeatedly encountered abusive messages in recent years, but the recent escalation of the situation has led Focus Entertainment to file official legal complaints against players directly threatening team members. Our social networks and communities are based on enthusiasm, not hatred. We are proud of our team and will not tolerate aggressive or sexist remarks. We reserve the right to take all necessary legal actions to protect our employees. Image source: @Focus_entmt
