| Abstract: | The article discusses that electronic-sports have grown into a real profession but there harassment problems have also increased so that today's virtual workplaces could use an human resource (HR) department of their own. Topics include the case of Canadian gaming professional Félix Lengyel, who gave the Overwatch League, a division of entertainment company Activision Blizzard, quite a headache in January 2018 when he hurled a homophobic slur at a gay competitor. |
