GreedFall Developer Spiders Respond To Allegations

As a long-time fan of Spiders and their captivating games like GreedFall, I find myself deeply concerned about the recent allegations made by the Union of Video Game Workers (STJV) against the studio. While I have always admired Spiders for their dedication to crafting immersive worlds, it’s crucial that they also prioritize a positive and inclusive work environment for their employees.

In response to claims brought forth by the Video Game Workers Union (STJV) and Spiders’ own team members, the developers of GreedFall, known as Spiders, have issued a statement.

In response to STJV’s claims, TopMob’s studio asserts that these allegations are both “untrue” and potentially damaging to their reputation. Furthermore, they explain that these statements do not accurately represent the actual work environment at the company.

A spokesperson for the studio stated that the unfounded and damaging claims made by STJV do not represent the true work environment experienced by the company’s employees on a daily basis. Instead, these accusations appear to be an attempt to tarnish the studio’s reputation. Despite this unwarranted attack, the dedicated teams at the studio are tirelessly working to create high-quality games and are eagerly preparing for the Early Access release of GreedFall.

The text implies that previous efforts to arrange meetings with staff didn’t work out, yet a gathering is now scheduled towards the end of the week.

“The company that looks after spider care expressed their dedication to honest and helpful conversations between management and staff,” it was stated. “Having failed to connect with a group of workers recently, they’ve suggested another meeting towards the end of this week.”

At our animation studio, it’s our dedicated team members who truly make us tick. We are committed to fostering a welcoming and inspiring workspace where everyone feels valued and supported, so that each unique skill can grow and shine, making us all proud.

On Tuesday, the STJV released a 20-page document detailing various issues they have with the studio. Among these issues were accusations of poor employee management, delays in addressing gender equality concerns, unstable job conditions, and other complaints.

The developers within the union have announced plans to strike on September 2-3.

Full Spiders Statement

As a gamer and someone who appreciates the hard work that goes into creating the games I love, I’d like to clarify a situation. The Union of Video Game Workers (STJV) has spoken out about issues at Spiders Studios. However, the accusations they’ve made don’t align with the experiences of the studio’s employees I interact with daily. They seem more like unfounded attacks than truthful concerns. The teams at Spiders are dedicated, working tirelessly to produce quality games and eagerly preparing for the Early Access release of GreedFall 2. It’s important to remember that behind every game is a team of passionate individuals striving to deliver an enjoyable gaming experience.
The management team at Spiders values open and positive communication with their staff. Despite failed meetings with a group of workers in recent days, they’ve suggested setting up another talk by the end of this week instead.
