In 2018,
reports from three separate French news outlets made accusations that Quantic Dream fostered a workplace culture for racism, sexism, and homophobia. Studio head David Cage and executive producer Guillaume de Fondaumière were at the center of these allegations.
Some of the accusations leveled at Cage also include his attitude towards female workers, alleging dirty jokes, smutty remarks "in the presence of his wife", and "inappropriate remarks" about female actors in his games. Former employees also refer to alleged homophobic and racist remarks, with Cage reportedly watching back a burglary on CCTV and asking a Tunisian worker if the thief was a relative.
Co-founder de Fondaumière, meanwhile, has been accused of inappropriate behaviour around staff, in particular at staff parties; the French custom upon greeting is to 'air-kiss' and de Fondaumiere is accused of making more contact than is considered appropriate during these greetings.
