I know we're not supposed to create threads on one tweet, but I couldn't find another source for this. And it's big.

From Twitter:




That's crazy.


EDIT:
So it doesn't get missed, this is the link to the Dropbox account that is shared in the tweet. It's the proof that the devs are bringing.

EDIT 2:
Statement from the publisher:




EDIT 3:
Apparently the publisher was informed of the bad working conditions... and the publisher responded by outing the employees to their boss.

That's fucking nuts, I thought that trailers artstyle was incredible, really fucked that it was produced under such conditions.

Seems weird we are hearing about this 5 seconds after the announcement trailer. Hopefully we get some answers, these are some serious allegations

Why is it so hard for publishers and studios to treat their employees with some decent human respect wtf

Wow that's a big yikes. How do they even expect to release a game when all the devs have quit?

Damn. How shitty of a situation for them. Are they meaning Focus Home interactive were the ones that fucked them over? I don't recall ever hearing bad things about them or their worker's conditions.

Edit: Ah, looks like LimeStone Games

Yikes. Not a good look for Sony right after the state of play.

Horrible to read what happened with the devs.
