It is a cultural problem but the game industry is not SV based. Blizzard Activision is SoCal, Ubisoft is French (with studios in many locations). I worked at a studio owned by Activision (in SoCal) in the early 2000s and the culture was certainly toxic.

I just find it funny how often commenters here assume all broism originates in SV.

To be fair most broism does originate in SV though doesn’t it?

I think "broism" originates from colleges, and is then carried over to businesses by new, young employees who never had the necessity to actually grow up and become decent people. Therefore it is not a geographically focused phenomenon.

I'd also link it a little to the '08 crash and the invasion of Tech by Finance types. But that's becoming ancient history.
