Sébastien Benard, the co-founder of Motion Twin and lead designer on Dead Cells, has reacted to his former studio’s decision to shelve support for the critically acclaimed title, describing it as a ‘asshole move.’
Speaking in the official Dead Cells Discord, Benard didn’t mince his word when addressing Motion Twin’s announcement, and made it clear he’s glad not to be part of the company anymore.
Since you’re asking me, I’d just say Motion Twin did the worst imaginable a**hole move against Dead Cells and Evil Empire. Having seen first-hand the actual situation behind the scenes, I can honestly say I’m glad to not be part of this anymore. The official statement is total marketing bulls***, the way this situation happened is on a whole different level.
I never imagined my former co-op studio would turn out to be such greedy people. I wish the absolute best to Evil Empire for their next things and hope people working there will survive this sudden economic cut.
