<p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/games/arc-raiders/">Arc Raiders</a> and <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/games/the-finals/">The Finals</a> developer Embark Studios has announced the departure of co-founder and CCO Rob Runesson after he faced allegations of sexual misconduct towards a female streamer who frequently played The Finals. Although Embark notes that an outside investigation didn't substantiate the accusations, Runesson and the company have "mutually agreed to part ways," as shared in a statement to <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/arc-raiders-the-finals-dev-embark-studios-parts-ways-with-co-founder-following-misconduct-allegations">IGN</a>.</p><p>The original accusations were shared on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/1rhjk98/week_of_silence_why_transparency_matters_for_the/">Reddit</a> and other forums, in which a third party claimed that Runesson pressured an unnamed female streamer into having a romantic and sexual relationship. The accuser contends that the streamer felt uncomfortable with the topic, but was unable to push back because her streams of The Finals made her financially dependent on being able to continue doing them.</p><p>IGN reached the female streamer in question, who declined to answer any questions on the record. The only thing she did say is that the allegations noted above were presented in a misleading way or out of context. Beyond that, no further details were shared.</p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/arc-raiders-dev-co-founder-leaves-embark-studios-after-sexual-misconduct-accusations/1100-6538848/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/">Continue Reading at GameSpot</a>
