A former PlayStation narrative director, Kim MacAskill, has launched a petition urging the creators of the Until Dawn movie to properly credit the original game's writers. As highlighted by Eurogamer, MacAskill's petition is aimed at Sony, calling on them to set a new standard in crediting by acknowledging the game developers who crafted the iconic game. MacAskill shared her frustration on LinkedIn, pointing out the disparity between the crediting of HBO's adaptation of The Last of Us—which gives due credit to Naughty Dog and Neil Druckmann—and the treatment of the Until Dawn team.
MacAskill recounted being informed by Sony executives that her intellectual property would never be credited to her due to her salaried status, which she found deeply unfair. She directly addressed Sony, questioning the difference in treatment between herself and others within the company. Her petition seeks more than just personal recognition; she is advocating for a change in how Sony credits creators in transmedia projects, suggesting an executive producer credit or equivalent acknowledgment to honor those whose passion and vision have significantly impacted the entertainment industry.
MacAskill's call to action is not just for the Until Dawn creators but for the entire industry, emphasizing the importance of recognizing creative contributions to inspire future generations. She invites supporters to sign the petition to pressure Sony into acknowledging game creators in transmedia narratives.
In other news, it was reported earlier today that Until Dawn Remastered might be included in the PlayStation Plus games for May 2025, potentially as a promotional tie-in with the Until Dawn movie, which was released just before the weekend. However, the movie received a lukewarm reception, scoring a 5/10 in IGN's Until Dawn movie review, which criticized it for failing to capture the essence of the original horror game and instead offering a disjointed collection of horror tropes.
