Sony owns the game. Not Quantic Dream. It means you won't give Sony any money for this game.
Nope. Detroit looks good.
I mean when they need to prove each party was treated equally one side having very little time for a response doesn't seem very fair. I don't really have any idea on the facts besides we know at least some of the accusations are true but we don't know how widespread it is. Clearly there was a work environment problem since one or more employees were allowed to harass others. This seems to be more about their reporting methods and not the facts of the case though.
11 days is a ridiculously long time for response in journalism. "We're going to print in 24 hours and are reaching out for comment" would be reasonable, and even something like 12 or 8 hours wouldn't be out of line in some cases.
Well it was 11 total days I am not sure how many work days were actually in there. That doesn't seem like much time when the newspapers had several months of research time.
It's less then 11 days since that includes weekends but really you think that is enough time to responds to months of investigations? You don't think they need time to actually do an internal investigation themselves and look in HR complaints and various other things?
From what I read earlier in the thread though, it sounds like they did in fact have communication with the QD board during those 11 days regarding the accusations. It also sounds like the QD response was hostile with the journalists.
Serious newspapers print inaccurate or misleading stories everyday of the week. We no longer live in a world where everything is taken at face value and journalists are beyond reproach. If someone has a grievance they should be able to take it further, and allow an independent party to judge.
Following the allegations many QD employees came out on social media upset at the way they, as individuals, and the studio as a whole, had been portrayed. At least some of the allegations where put down to a former employee who had been dismessed some time ago. Little of this was reported.....so the original story was allowed to fester.
It's unimportant at this point.
That doesn't mean they were giving adequate time to do anything. The hostile response could have also been about the small timetable they were given. Clearly a judge will decide if they were treated fairly in this case. Just expecting a company to respond to severe accusations in such a limited time span doesn't seem like the best for the story.
True but suing is usually not one of them.
The problem i see in that is, the newspapers claim to have more than one source in than case (20-30 if i remember well) so yeah in these it's possible that there is one or two that have bad blood with QD, but what about all the others?
Yes and DF came out and said they should have taken more time before they published the story. The dev was wrong about what they were angry about but DF also apologized that they did not do their full due diligence.
Well when you post dumb quotes that you literally don't seem to actually understand, that doesn't really help your case.
From what I gathered they didn't notify the journalist that they needed more time or were willing to work with the journalists on this subject.
I am at a disadvantage since I can't read french do you have a source saying they didn't request more time.
Suing for defamation is not a recourse to having false things published. People are allowed to publish claims that end up being false if they did their due diligence, and Le Monde and Mediapart definitely did their due diligence.
"You weren't there" fucking LMAO.
Yeah, that's the thing half the people ITT are missing. This is about reporting methods, it's not there to litigate what's reported.
Obviously I don't know how those conversations went, or what the QD response was, but all three publications decided to publish following. They will have their chance to respond in court, which I'm sure they will.
