Playdead, the developer behind indie darlings Limbo and Inside, has responded amidst an increasingly ugly spat between the company’s co-founders.
Reports of a rift between Playdead’s Dino Patti and Arnt Jensen are nothing new, and first circulated around the time Patti left Playdead following the launch of Inside in 2016.
This month, however, the friction between the two men has become public – following a claim by Patti that he was the subject of “bullying”, and that Jensen had “repeatedly” sent legal threats to him since his departure from the company.
The latest of these legal claims, Patti says, involves a now-deleted LinkedIn post in which he discussed Limbo’s development and shared a photo of an “unauthorised” photo taken by Jensen. Patti says he has now been asked to cough up the equivalent of £56k in compensation.
