In a press release offered to Sport Developer, studio administration says it is negotiated raises and improved working insurance policies with workers, though the assertion does additionally comprise some pointed remarks relating to allegations made by the union to which stated workers belong.

Moreover, staff will now profit from a “telework firm settlement” that ought to enhance distant working insurance policies within the studio, and administration has agreed to conduct an audit on working situations.
Spiders managers aren’t simply out for SJTV, both; they’re additionally seemingly upset with the media. Within the assertion given to Sport Developer, studio administration says that the “portrayal” of the studio’s working situations within the media is an “try to destabilize the corporate”.
