Hideo Kojima has been visiting top studios for quite a while, and today he’s in Stockholm, Sweden checking in with local developers.
The Dark Souls creator spoke to journalists about Elden Ring lore, poison swamps and why the DLC's villain is so handsome.
Spectrum Studios is in hot water, as part of their job requirements involve "attending sauna sessions" that are "non-negotiable."
Hopefully their next game isn't about a murderer and they require employees to kill to someone to have a real understanding.
LOLOL!
But you can't develop a game with sauna elements UNLESS you've been in a sauna with a game dev...preferably naked.
He is right you need to experience something to be able to write about it just like Tolkien threw himself in mount doom to understand Sauron and like Agatha Christie organized a death game on a remote island
Ah yes I read that news outlets were picking up on this string of facebook posts. Easy to write about some random conversation on FB without much context. Let's see how long it takes for them to talk to the devs directly for clarification. I'm sure these sites will drag this out as long as they can painting this guy as a creep. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't.
Yes I've read the replies. But if sites are gonna write about this they should do their jobs as journalist and get in contact with one of the woman who works in the studio.
Why would it only be a big deal for women? I wouldn't want to be required to sauna naked, wouldn't work at a place like that. Really strange that owner is defending this. Since the owner is involved in those communications, that's enough to write an article about. That's not to say they shouldn't reach out to them and any employees willing to talk but this is freakin' weird.

I didn't know Mojang was a top studio?
They should report if he changes his socks too. Seriously, get of his nutz already.
At this rate his next game will release on the PS8.5
