MidBoss has a new boss. The studio today announced Cade Peterson as its new CEO, taking over from Matt Conn after the studio founder was accused of sexual harassment and a variety of exploitive employment practices.
Peterson joins the company from streaming service Jump, where he was VP of content and community. Prior to that, Peterson held a variety of roles in the games industry, including developer relations at Leap Motion and community management at Sony Computer Entertainment America.
In a statement sent to press outlets today, GaymerX's new executive director Katie Kaitchuck said the LGBTQ gaming convention has severed all professional association with MidBoss after learning of the accusations mentioned above.
Kaitchuck noted that Conn has not been involved with GaymerX since last year, and MidBoss community manager Toni Roca, who had been serving as president of GaymerX, is no longer in a leadership position with the group.
