It’s tough to know that the company that made some of your favorite video games in recent years was actually a hotbed of toxicity and racism. But that’s the way it is… And it’s possible that the blame may not even be entirely theirs, but rather the parent company’s. I’m talking about Deck Nine and Square Enix, of course, the ones responsible for ‘Life is Strange’<\/a><\/strong> after snatching it away from Don’t Nod. Good game, thanks, now these people over here will make it. And I wish this had been the dirtiest move they made about it.<\/p>\n\n\n

Life is very strange<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How is it possible for a developer who could barely finance herself with Kickstarter to go on to lead one of the most beloved franchises in modern video game history? And, above all, how is it possible that a game like ‘Life is Strange: True Colors’, admired for its LGBTQ representation, was about to be released with Nazi symbols <\/strong>throughout its screens?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That -which is a supposed mistake whose origin they apparently continue to examine- is just the tip of the iceberg: Deck Nine created a toxic work environment allowing not only sexist comments, but weeks and weeks of crunch where developers put in between 70 and 80 hours<\/strong> per week. They were not mandatory, of course, but the workload was so ridiculously extensive and at Square<\/a> they were in such a hurry that there was no other option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
