- Recently, the developer of Stellar Blade gave its employees a Nintendo Switch 2 to celebrate 3 million sales.
- Now, the Lies of P developer has followed the same trend and celebrated 3 million sales by gifting its employees bonuses, paid vacations, and Switch 2.
- Both of these companies are from Korea, so Western developers are yet to follow this trend.
Shift Up, the developer of Stellar Blade, is known for treating its employees right. The developer has already gifted its employees a PS5 Pro, 5 million won, and a Nintendo Switch 2 this year.
While this gesture, unfortunately, isn’t common in the industry, another developer has joined the trend. The Lies of P developer has recently gifted its employees bonuses, paid holidays, and a Nintendo Switch 2 after achieving the 3 million sales milestone.
Why it matters: Treating employees right is the way to go, as it boosts morale, which in turn motivates them to work even harder. This ultimately benefits the company, so such gestures should become a common practice.
A South Korean publication, The Elec, has revealed that the title and its DLC have now sold over 3 million copies on all platforms. Neowiz, the game’s publisher, has rewarded every developer involved in the title’s development.
The publisher will be gifting every employee involved in the development of Lies of P a bonus of 10 million won ($7300), a two-week paid vacation, and a Nintendo Switch 2. This is how employees should be treated in the workplace, and it is good to see more developers following this trend.
Shift Up is a Korean developer that gained fame for treating its employees well. It should be noted that Neowiz and Round 8 Studios aren’t Western developers. These two are South Korean companies, so the dream of Western companies following this trend is still just a dream.
Fans have also claimed that Western companies could never achieve what these Korean companies are doing, as they believe the former are too busy imposing a political agenda into video games and hiring “specialists” to do so.
Lies of P has reached 7 million players in just 6 months after release, primarily due to subscription services like Game Pass. The game and its DLC have sold a combined 3 million copies, which is a notable achievement.
What do you think about Lies Neowiz following the same trend as the Stellar Blade Developer? Do you think employees should be treated like this more often? Please share your thoughts with us in the comments section below or join the official Tech4Gamers forums for discussion.
