The recent release of the Until Dawn movie has stirred up a storm, and it’s not just about its lukewarm reviews. The real controversy is the complete omission of the original game's creators in the film's credits, as pointed out by former PlayStation Narrative Director, Kim MacAskill, on LinkedIn.
MacAskill's post has sparked a heated discussion on the credit culture in the gaming and film industry. She expressed frustration over the lack of acknowledgment for the original writing and development team behind the Until Dawn game. "They spent years breaking their brains to make something incredible—and the world DESERVES to know their names," she passionately noted.
This absence of recognition has led MacAskill to launch a petition urging Sony to amend the film credits to properly honor creators like Larry Fessenden, Graham Reznick, and others. At the time of writing, the petition has gathered traction, sitting at 184 signatures as gamers rally to support rightful recognition.
This situation raises critical questions about how creative contributions are valued across different media and why it’s crucial for creators to be given their due respect.
