Wardogs Studio CEO Fires Back at Crunch Allegations, Gives Staff a Month Off
Joe Brammer, CEO of Bulkhead Interactive and executive producer on the recently released FPS hit Wardogs, has found himself at the center of a significant industry controversy after it emerged that the studio screens prospective hires' social media accounts for "anti-crunch messaging." Rock Paper Shotgun first reported Brammer's comments, in which he stated that candidates who publicly criticize crunch culture "often don't make it in the door." He also drew sharp criticism for a remark that drew a clear line between dedicated and reluctant workers: "If you care about the work you're making and the result of what you make here, you'll feel really valued. If you don't, you will feel slave-driven."
