*In a 2021 video entitled "DigiPen: The College That Teaches Crunch Culture", gaming journalist and YouTuber [[James Stephanie Sterling]], citing a series of anonymous interviews they had conducted with former DigiPen students, accused the school of conditioning students into the [[Crunch (video games)|crunch culture]] of the larger video game industry and criticized practices such as overburdening students with impossible workloads and class requirements, failure to communicate grades and academic standing with students, and hiring and maintaining professors with outdated industry experience who reportedly engaged in yelling, intimidation, and other abusive behavior towards students. According to Sterling, DigiPen was reached out to for comment a week before the video's release (during the college's winter break closure) and did not respond.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Sterling|first=Jim|author-link=Jim Sterling|date=Dec 13, 2021|title=DigiPen: The College That Teaches Crunch Culture|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vorBajs3-yE|url-status=live|access-date=2021-12-13|website=YouTube|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211214004624/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vorBajs3-yE |archive-date=2021-12-14 }}</ref>
