Mondstudios, the Austrian developer behind the oder Spiele, has been labelled anoppressiveplace to work in a new report.

Gemäß GamesBeat, eine Anzahl von “current and formeremployees believe Moon’sbehind-the-scenes atmospheredoes not match up with the style and tranquility of its games. These issues within the studio are allegedly tied to founders Thomas Mahler and Gennadiy Korol.

Mondstudios’ almost entirely remote and “unternehmensfeindlich” culture has supposedly led to cases of casual racism, sexism and bullying. The founders also allegedly used anopen and honestworkplace structure to openly criticise the work of employees, and would very rarely praise work.

GamesBeat’s report says the employees arefed upwith the inappropriate behaviour of the founders, but no one at this stage is filing a lawsuit against Moon Studios or those in charge. The report’s findings also suggest there’s a high turnover rate at Moon Studios, but the founders allegedly use the prestigious games of the studio to counter these issues.

Here’s part of an official response from the Moon Studiosfounders to the lengthy report:

Moon Studios has prospered for 12 Jahre. We have grown and learned so much over all of these years. We have been privileged to work with many, many great, and extremely talented people. We are truly grateful and proud of our team — those who are here today as well as those who spent time at Moon and have since moved to other ventures — and we are happy to have made a positive difference in their lives. We are not perfect but we deeply care about our talent and are constantly working hard to improve. If we have ever made anyone feel uncomfortable or let anyone down — we regret that and we will always strive to do better.

— Thomas Mahler and Gennadiy Korol

Ori and the Blind Forest was released on the Switch in 2019 and followed with Ori and the WIll of the Wisps in 2020. Both games were highly praised on Nintendo’s hybrid platform.
