The names of about 20 developers of The Callisto Protocol were not included in the credits

Striking Distance Studios is facing a new scandal. Publication GamesIndustry.

biz reports that in the credits The Callisto Protocol did not get the names of about 20 developers. This was told by former employees of the studio.

We are talking about those who have made a serious contribution to the development. It is emphasized that the studio has never talked about any policy regarding getting into the credits.

According to the standards The International Association of Game Developers, the credits should mention all employees who were part of the development team for at least 30 days, including those who left the studio before the release.

Some ex-employees believe that the leaders of Striking Distance Studios thus punished those who, in their opinion, left the development early or simply were not loyal enough to the bosses.

One interviewee said that the general atmosphere in the studio was not the most friendly, and this was especially evident when someone left the company, which not everyone found out about right away.

Former employees also confirmed the words Glenn Schofield said that the team had to work on the game 6-7 days a week for 12-15 hours.

This was due to the desire of the management to go beyond AAA games and make an AAAA title.

It was especially difficult during periods when new people were recruited en masse to the studio — we had to hold a large number of meetings in order to make sure that everyone understood the general direction and their tasks.

The last patch for The Callisto Protocol was released on December 22, 2022.

It is known that Striking Distance is preparing a content update with free New Game+ and Hardcore Mode modes, which will appear on February 7.
