Accessibility leader accused of employee abuse and waste of charity's funds


Mark Barlet, founder of high-profile gaming accessibility charity AbleGamers, has been accused of fostering abuse at the non-profit for more than two decades.

In a wide-ranging report published today by IGN, former colleagues claim Barlet used sexist, racist and misogynistic language in the workplace, including about other employees, and made comments offensive to other disabled people. In response, Barlet said his travel was justified by company policies, his extended trips were to cover additional business meetings, and his Tesla charger was just a "plug". Regardless, it's claimed that an April 2024 investigation by external payroll and HR firm ADP advised AbleGamers' board to part ways with Barlet, after concerns over his spending.
