In the end, Page decided not to follow through, we can't discount the fact that she considered suing the studio. Quantic Dream has a pretty shady history if you look back at their prior slate of games.Įllen Page appeared in Beyond: Two Souls but after dataminers found that they could access a virtual simulacrum of her naked body in-game, she considered pressing legal action against the studio. Thanks to the continued strength of the #MeToo movement which -despite many complaints to the contrary- does not appear to be slowing, the allegations pinned at Quantic Dream and studio heads Cage and de Fondaumière are heavier than ever. And now more than ever the casual sexism embraced and protected by the gaming community is going to take out quite a few games, developers, and studio heads in the resulting fallout. Let's be honest with ourselves for just a moment here, nothing in life exists in a vacuum. And is particularly tone-deaf considering the nature of the complaints, the current sociopolitical climate, and Quantic's slate of games. That statement falls in line with reactions and statements given by Cage and de Fondaumière following the reveal of the employee reports. It is of utmost importance to us that we maintain a safe environment that allows us all to channel our shared passion for making video games. We value every single person who works at Quantic Dream. We have taken and always will take such grievances very seriously. Inappropriate conduct or practices have no place at Quantic Dream. We invite interested parties to read the responses of our Employee Representatives and Health & Security Committee to questions submitted by the journalists prior to publication. Quantic Dream filed a complaint several months ago and further complaints will follow.
We categorically deny all of these allegations. Quantic Dream issued a statement over the weekend that they shopped around to various media outlets that published articles covering the workplace misconduct allegations published in several French publications that specifically targeted studio heads David Cage and Guillaume de Fondaumière.Īrticles published today level various allegations against Quantic Dream, its management and employees.
