Workers at Don't Nod to strike in reaction to studio's recent redundancy plan
Workers at Don’t Nod – the studio behind the likes of Jusant, Life is Strange 1 and 2, and upcoming release Lost Records: Bloom & Rage – are set to strike this Friday, 8th November.
The strike is in reaction to the studio’s redundancy plan, which it announced in October.
As Matt reported last month, 69 jobs at the studio are at risk, as Don’t Nod initiates a “reorganisation project to ensure the company’s long-term future” amid “deteriorating” financial results.
In an open letter seen and translated by Eurogamer’s sister-site GamesIndustry.biz, Don’t Nod workers accused studio leadership of failing to take responsibility for its own shortcomings, instead using economical context as a justification for the redundancy plan.
“As workers at this company, we know that these failures are due to a succession of negligent acts and bad decisions from leadership,” the letter reads. “We have warned leadership about these failures for years, but are not being listened to. Ultimately, we’re the ones paying the price of these absurd decisions today, with the redundancy plan.”
