The French study Kylotonn denounces that since Nacon they have constantly ignored their requests
As with many other jobs, there is always room for improvement in working conditions. In the video game industry we have read and heard about practices such as crunching, abuse of power and workplace bullying in news that is alarming. Now Kylotonn, a studio within Nacon, has started a strike demanding improvements in their working conditions.
For a small team like Kylotonn, this situation is untenable and after Nacon ignored their requests for improvements, they have decided to go on strike. According to the study’s statement, labor policies and the management of the publisher (Nacon) have created a authoritarian environment that puts in danger the mental health and the cohesion of the workers.
This situation, far from being a trifle, coincides with the announcement of Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, a game that presented its new advance and that it was overshadowed by the news of the strike a few hours before. The French studio announced the stoppage through the French Union of Video Game Workers.
This work stoppage is imminent and is due, how could it be otherwise, to the announcement of Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown that we saw yesterday. This driving game has had a bumpy development, delaysversion cancellations for PS4 and Xbox One, and a work process of more than three years.
For now, Nacon has kept silent. The company is expected to speak publicly not only about the strike, but also about the situation of the studio and the game. A delay of the launch of Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown was announced yesterday until 2024and an unsustainable situation could translate into millions in losses and, hopefully not, another delay.
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown anuncia beta gratis
Apart from the controversy and the delay to 2024, Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown also announced a closed beta which will take place from July 24. That has not prevented yesterday’s preview from taking some slaps on the wrist with some playable sequences to 30 FPSwith very noticeable stutters and drops.
