BAFTA Nixes Personal Trauma Game Trailer, Sparking Indie Dev Outcry
BAFTA pulled the trailer for The Quiet Things, an autobiographical narrative about childhood trauma by Silver Script Games, due to its sensitive subject matter and a lack of sufficient warnings for the audience. The developer, Alyx Jones, says the move silences survivors and shuts doors to personal storytelling, while BAFTA later explained the decision was to protect guests at the event and that it supports games tackling difficult topics, noting it was an event-specific compliance choice.
