THE CRUNCH
Joe Brammer, CEO of Bulkhead Interactive, has issued a new statement after facing criticism for remarks made in an interview. Brammer had previously suggested that his studio would not hire people who constantly tweet anti-crunch messaging. The comments sparked a backlash regarding the developer's approach to work culture. In his latest response, Brammer has apologised for the remarks.
Brammer clarified that the original comments were not intended to be taken literally and that the studio does not actively monitor the social media activity of potential recruits.
The developer behind Wardogs and The Turing Test clarified that the interview was taken out of context and that the company values a healthy work-life balance.
Brammer emphasised that the studio is committed to providing a supportive environment for its employees and that the comments were a reflection of a heated discussion rather than a formal policy.
