Development of the next Life is Strange isn't going well at Deck Nine because of toxic behaviour
, by Thibaut
IGN has published quite the bombshell. Several dozen Deck Ninte employees, who have choosen to remain anonymous, have spoken out about the toxic work culture that permeates on the team responsible for Life is Strange.
In early 2023, a few objects with Nazi symbols were introduced in the game, including swastikas, racist memes and plenty of 88 and 16 (numbers used by white supremacists). According to those who have spoken out, the problem has been raised several times to management, but nothing has been done about it.
We're talking about Life is Strange here. It doesn't have anything to do with such symbos. The studio's managers have also been accused of having allowed this toxic work culture to develop over time, and some devs are finding it increasingly difficult to reconcile the positive values of the franchise with the atmosphere of the studio.
