GreedFall 2 Devs Call Early Access Release "Painful" In Open Letter Decrying Working Conditions
An open letter signed by GreedFall 2: The Dying World developers is calling out Spiders studio management for its alleged lack of transparency, failure to achieve greater gender equality, growing instability, and refusal to acknowledge collective action, all which have translated to a difficult production cycle for GreedFall 2, according to the letter.
Ahead of the open-world RPG's planned September 24 early-access release, workers at the Paris-based Spiders state in the open letter signed by 43 of the studio's 95 workers that their goal is to "push management to act in the best interests of employees and the company" after leadership's refusal to work with the studio's labor movement. To that effect, the letter calls on Spiders employees to stage a strike from September 2-3, with plans to picket in front of the company's offices. It's not the first time Spiders has gone on strike this year. Many in the studio walked out in January in support of work-from-home negotiations. Studio leadership following the strike chose "not to react to the labor movement," according to the letter.
"Management gives the impression of treating us like galley slaves in the hold of a ship, rowing on and on without ever knowing either the route or the destination of their journey," the letter states. "Spiders feels like a ship sailing with no one at the helm."
