First thread here. I feel like making a thread to talk about game developers outed as pedophiles or are about to (bonus point if they're a 
lolcow) instead of searching in the forum. I hope it can serve to give relevancy even if the developers in question do not have a specific thread, and can if able serve as prospering grounds for them.
Some major examples include...
Alexander Stuart Mahan, known as YandereDev, is a retarded shitty game developer with a history of troubling behavior. Allegations against him include inappropriate interactions with minors, such as engaging in an online relationship with a 14-year-old girl when he was 20 and later speaking suggestively to a 16-year-old girl. His dumb responses to these accusations often involve deflection, denial, and attempts to silence critics, such as issuing false DMCA takedowns. Not only he has a long history of interactions with young fans coupled with a history of expressing problematic views on relationships and women in public forums, he is an atrociously bad game developer and has a huge ego. Despite all of this, he has maintained a cult-like platform and audience of young and impressionable teenagers.
This video by Striker (former Phantom Forces content creator) goes further into details about some of these people.

I will add more relevant examples later down the line if needed and they're important to the OP. Please leave suggestions for the thread!

Stylis Studios is a group of Roblox game developers behind a popular FPS game called Phantom Forces. They have a Discord server in which contractors, developers and content creators use to groom children (with a large amount of them being under the age of 13). For years they have covered up the stories and swept most of the controversies under the rug along with re-hiring some of the offenders. Some of the people involved in the community, like Juke (Jonathan Cade Mitchell) were even charged with enticement of a child to meet for sexual purposes and one of the map designers, WolfDawgz sent furry porn to minors and groomed them. They have repeatedly covered up for each other, silenced victims and nuked their Discord channels completely (which were up for 8 years at this point).This video by Striker (former Phantom Forces content creator) goes further into details about some of these people.
