For nylig blev Quantic Dream genstand for kritik fra mange sider, efter en række franske aviser udgav en større rapport, der eftersigende skulle bevise at arbejdsforholdende var ganske specielle på deres kontorer. De diverse nyhedsmedier pegede på chikanerende opførsel fra ledelsen, deriblandt instruktør David Cage, samt en generel uprofessionel stemning og tone. På daværende tidspunkt benægtede studiet alle anklager, og mente at de var offer for en mediehetz.
Rapporten var eftersigende baseret på udtalelser fra to tidligere medarbejdere, men siden da er der opstået tvivl om udtalelsernes legitimitet.
Nu har Quantic Dream sluppet en officiel meddelelse via Twitter, der afslører at de går rettens vej for at beskytte studiets ry.
"Quantic Dream has been the subject of a veritable smear campaign by a few media outlets, based on slanderous remarks whose reliability and origin of the sources raise questions.
We categorically refute the allegations against the studio, its employees, its leaders. We hope that these unfounded attacks and the propagation of completely erroneous information resulting from it will cease in order to protect our employees.
We reiterate that, to date, we have not heard of any complaints of harassment and discrimination.
We confirm that two employees who entered the Industrial Court in 2017 were dismissed of all their claims by judgment on 19.01.2018 and that a third judgment in this case is in dispute.
Several other legal actions are also underway to defend the reputation of our studio and to save the jobs of a French SME in the forefront in its field. We are confident in justice and hope that it can be decided quickly, in a calm and peaceful atmosphere."
