The year 2022 has ended, during which the survival horror game The Callisto Protocol could not leave a significant impact among gamers, as its players were divided between those who satisfied it and those who criticized it, which is the same as what happened among critics. The game received an average rating of 68 from players and an average rating of 69 from critics.
It is known that for every game, whether big or independent, there is some kind of honor at the end of the game or “credits”, which we usually see under the name of credits. It contains all the workers of the game, whether individuals or legal entities, without exception, and it is a common custom in the digital and entertainment industry and has been known for several decades, but would you believe us if we told you that around 20 anonymous developers were forgotten within the game The Callisto Protocol?
Twenty of the developers who worked on The Callisto Protocol at development studio Striking Distance have been forgotten, according to anonymous sources at gamesindustry. All of those developers who were so easily forgotten were from different departments. According to the same source, some of those mentioned in the final screen only worked for more than a year within the studio, while those who were forgotten were the founders of the studio, as the source stated:
I understand that a co-developer might do a small job for a few months and then get fired, but we're talking about full-time employees who have invested over a year in the title, getting their hands on important parts of the product. That's where the surprise came from for many of us.
It is mentioned that the International Game Developers Association usually requires the adoption of any member who has worked at a studio for at least 30 days, and is added among the body who participated in the game in the final honor screen, but those who have met with the site refer to nepotism and name-spreading in their contribution to the game.
We do not know how the development team's employees will react or respond when they respond to this matter, as gamesindustry has already contacted them about this matter and none of the company's representatives have responded to this question.
