Then, in 2018, two French newspapers published pieces where 15 staff members accused Cage and (co-studio head) Guillaume de Fondaumière of promoting an ultra-toxic working environment. Now, normally this might mean probably indulging in the regular racist, sexist, and homophobic treatment you’d expect from a hellhole company, but this is Quantic goddamn Dream. Allegedly, they also Photoshopped employees to appear nude and/or to look like Nazis, then plastered those pictures all over the office. Cage disputed the accusations, calling it “a lie, pure and simple.”
Now, you shouldn’t think a developer is a bad person when the only thing you know about him for sure is that he makes bad games. (Okay, maybe if his games are bad and created a nude CG model of an actor that didn’t seem to consent to it.) Upon filing a defamation lawsuit against the newspapers responsible for publishing the testimonials, Cage took the stand. Not too long after, he threw a temper tantrum where he reportedly cried, stomped his feet, and even screamed, blaming “others” for interfering with his work and tainting his honor. Before things got hypothetically even worse when Fondaumière jumped in and asked whether it would be okay to lie … in court. So, yeah, good luck with that.
