Scavengers Studio, a small development studio with just over forty employees, fell in the eye of the storm after a reporter from Gamerindustry.biz, Rebekah Valentine, published a report where it brings to light a work situation that is far from optimal for the software house workers. The team is currently developing the exclusive PlayStation 5 Season, game announced ai The Game Awards of this year that has captured the attention of many thanks to an artistically valid and captivating trailer. The title, a sort of graphic adventure, does not yet have a release date and there is still little information about it.
According to Valentine's investigation, within Season's team it would hover a toxic and misogynistic work environment. Following an interview with nine female employees, who cover different roles in the company, the journalist was able to steal more than detailed information and draw up a series of accusations against some colleagues, in particular the co-founder of Scavengers Studio. Simon Darveau. In detail employees would be continually belittled at work level, some colleagues would have ruled several times that a man could do their job better. In addition, the software house inside it would be a real one "Men's club" where sexual allusions towards colleagues and various sabotages to the projects of the latter would seem to be a ritual.
Currently Scavengers Studio has not made any statements on the matter, however, the journalist's report has been bouncing on the various sector newspapers and not already for a few days and we hope for some clarifications from the founders of the Season team. News like these are difficult to understand and report, as they are based on anonymous testimony and the situation could be more complex than what we know so far. However, accusations of this type must absolutely be investigated and we hope that the matter in question will be shed as soon as possible.
