The film adaptation of the 2015 horror game Until Dawn has opened to poor box office performance, calling attention to a significant oversight: the omission of credits for the game's original writers. Kim MacAskill, an industry veteran, expressed her disappointment on LinkedIn, emphasizing the years of effort by the writers and their right to recognition. She highlighted discrepancies in crediting practices, noting how creators of other successful games receive acknowledgment while those of Until Dawn did not. A petition has been started urging Sony to amend this situation and improve crediting practices for game adaptations.
"Instead of you mentioning the leading game devs who created this iconic game you're clearly proud of, you just wrapped it as 'based on the Sony game'"
"Despite the immense dedication, creativity, and innovation given to Sony, the creators were not honored by name in the movie"
