Chris Avellone sexual misconduct allegations resolved with seven-figure payment.

Games writer and designer, Chris Avellone, has settled a lawsuit after two women accused him of sexual misconduct. The settlement dismisses the claims levied against him "with prejudice", "pursuant to a confidential settlement". Avellone claims the settlement includes a "seven-figure payment", which includes "the return" of his legal fees. Following allegations of sexual harassment posted on social media in 2020, studios working with Chris Avellone issued statements distancing themselves from him.
