Some developers on the space horror blockbuster Callisto Protocol<\/em><\/span> say they were omitted from the end credits sequence despite extensive work on the game and key contributions to the finished product. The claims come amid a renewed push throughout the video game industry to fix a broken credit system<\/span> that often punishes lower-ranking employees and those who leave prior to the final release date.<\/p>\n

In a new report by GamesIndustry.biz<\/em><\/span>former employees at Striking Distance Studios say they believe around 20 developers were left off Callisto Protocol<\/em>‘s long end-of-game credits roll. Many were surprised by the omission, and say the studio never formally communicated a policy of leaving developers off the credits if they left before the game shipped. A few regard it as punishment for taking a job somewhere else.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The credits omission] felt like an obvious FU to those who were left out,\u201d one source tells GamesIndustry.biz. \u201cSomebody wanted to send a message, and the message was, ‘Next time have a bit more loyalty to us.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Striking Distance was formed by former Dead Space <\/em>director Glen Schofield in 2019 after leaving Call of Duty<\/em> studio Sledgehammer Games. Late last year as its debut game was finishing development, Schofield was reprimanded for a tweet<\/span> that endorsed crunch culture, celebrating sacrifice and long overtime hours.<\/p>\n
