Quantic Dream wins appeal tossing out lawsuit alleging toxic workplace - Polygon

A French appellate court has overturned a judgment against Quantic Dream, the maker of Heavy Rain, Detroit: Become Human, and other prestige titles, which found itself and founder David Cage accused of tolerating workplace racism, sexism, and harassment in a series of press reports in early 2018.

The successful appeal overturned a July 2018 ruling in favor of a former employee who sued Quantic Dream, alleging a toxic workplace had driven them from their job.

In a statement posted Saturday, Quantic Dream cast the ruling, by the Court of Appeal of Paris, as a vindication for the studio, and the repudiation of what it called a smear campaign carried out in the press and on social media.

The studio said that the April 7 ruling by the Paris Court of Appeal “dismissed all the employee’s claims, ordering them to pay substantial damages to Quantic Dream.” GamesIndustry.biz reported that figure to be €10,138.
