Quantic Dream opens a new studio in Montreal
- Thread starter Bundy
- Start date
It wasn't enough for David Cage to split up the Super Best Friends with an LP of Omikron. Now he's coming to Montreal to hunt Matt, Pat, and Woolie down himself!
Funny how David Cage says the new studio will take measures to avoid the problems he... says never happened
I hate that man.
Now all those developers who just got let off from Stadia will have a nice and welcoming studio to join. :^)
Fuck David Cage
If you've never seen them, you can see some of the examples of the 600 sexist, racist and homophobic photoshopped images that were found at this link. Not gonna share any for obvious reasons.
But, yeah. Employee photoshopped in nazi uniform (hilarious! this is the one that successful got a pay out btw, which QD have brushed off as 'a security obligation'), heads photoshopped onto porn etc.
Obviously this was all 'proven wrong by verifiable facts and audits' though. Just normal workplace stuff. You know, guy stuff.

Always worth sharing this anecdote about Cage, too...

Drôle d’ambiance à Quantic Dream
En tant que journaliste de Canard PC, on n’a pas tous les jours l’occasion de partir en grand reportage au tribunal. L’aventure n’en est que plus passionnante. Au programme, une sombre affaire de photomontages qui aura eu pour mérite de mettre en lumière les mœurs étranges d’une entreprise de...

For a second I thought you were at war with yourself for making this thread
I thought it has gotten quiet. So what did actually happen with the investigation?
Holy shit this's my first time reading this story. Fuck david cage.If you've never seen them, you can see some of the examples of the 600 sexist, racist and homophobic photoshopped images that were found at this link. Not gonna share any for obvious reasons.

Ok but did some court decided against them or has it all been just swept under the rug?
That Chinese investment really keeping them afloat huh? Such a shame since I did like Detroit, but what a shit stain studio.
Hope to see new amazing games from Cage! I loved Detroit, Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls, this guy really knows how to make an adventure.
Canard PC published an article in March of 2020 (following that awful paper from Dean Takahashi). No paywall but in French (DeepL seems to do an okay job)
Les nouveaux avocats de Quantic Dream
Le 15 janvier 2018, Médiapart et Canard PC entamaient la publication d’une série d’articles portant sur les conditions de travail dans l’industrie du jeu vidéo. Deux ans après, les deux articles qui concernent le studio Quantic Dream font l’objet d’attaques en règle de la part de médias qui...
Also there is still a lawsuit going on between Quantic Dream and Mediapart + Le Monde for defamation. It was supposed to happen in May of this year but a) no news if QD dropped it or not and b) COVID probably pushed the date to 2056 by now.

Did Sony drop them because of their scandals? Because after reading the articles...wow. Who is giving them money? Tencent?
They were never really Sony's to 'drop' afaik.
This stuff all came out before they released Detroit. They just kept their heads down, promoted the game and waited for it to blow over. I don't think Sony ever commented on it.
They had successful 3 game deal with Sony, and after that QD moved to multiplatform development. Controversy started building up in public after Detroit Become Human.
Probably not, but I bet Sony is counting their blessings that QD decided to part ways with them.
I don't think Sony ever commented on it, but if I had to guess Sony is probably okay with having part ways from them.
