The head of the Season developer studio was suspended for humiliating and insulting employees

Season’s “Atmospheric Bike Adventure Travel” garnered a lot of positive attention when it debuted at last year’s The Game Awards. But, unfortunately, this did not last long. This week it became known that the head of the project was accused of toxic leadership and sexual harassment.

We are talking about the co-founder and creative director of Scavengers Studio Simon Darveau. Current and former studio employees shared how their leader insulted and humiliated their subordinates, released sexist phrases, and, in one case, molested an employee drunk at a company party.

What will happen now? Scavengers Studio co-owner Amelie Lamarche has pledged to take steps that will bring the studio “a sense of peace and happiness in the workplace” Simon Darvo has already been suspended from all duties indefinitely, and Lamarsh herself has temporarily stepped down as CEO as the external audit team is studying the culture inside Scavengers Studio.

As for Season’s development, it will continue despite the turmoil within the studio. The team played into the hands of the fact that the release date of the game has not yet been announced.

The season is coming to PC and PlayStation 5.
