Fact check: If you identify as a white male gamer, Compulsion Games Community manager has confirmed that she hates you. Compulsion Games has not disputed this stance.

1. Summary of the results

Based on multiple sources, Katie Robinson, who serves as Community Manager at Compulsion Games since September 2023, did make public statements expressing negative sentiments toward gamers. Specifically, she posted "I hate gamers" in a February 14th post ^{[1] [1]} and previously stated in a Refinery 29 interview that "white male gamers were a mistake" ^{[1] [1]}. However, the original statement's claim that Compulsion Games has explicitly "confirmed" or endorsed these views is not supported by any of the provided sources.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Several important contextual elements are missing from the original statement:

• The team at Compulsion Games has been dealing with harassment and is focused on protecting their employees while creating an inclusive game ^[2]
• The controversial statements were made after Robinson joined Compulsion Games in September 2023 ^{[3] [3]}
• According to Mark Kern, a former World of Warcraft Team Lead, Robinson is being "protected" by the company despite these controversial statements ^[4]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement contains several problematic elements:

• It misrepresents the situation by claiming Compulsion Games has taken an official stance on Robinson's statements, which is not supported by any sources
• It conflates personal statements made by an employee with official company policy
• It omits the context of harassment that the development team has faced ^[2]

This situation appears to be part of a larger discourse about gaming culture and representation. Different groups have vested interests in how this story is presented:

• Gaming community advocates might use this to highlight perceived anti-gamer bias in the industry
• Game developers and companies might be concerned about maintaining positive community relations while protecting their employees
• Social media engagement metrics benefit from controversial statements and resulting discussions, potentially amplifying the conflict
