Statement regarding the film posted on Internet containing the “PAYDAY Girl Contest” etc. Starbreeze did not release the film and it does not contain material approved by the company. Starbreeze and its wholly owned studio OVERKILL Software do not endorse the film and its message. The company has initiated an investigation to find out the facts about the film.

Starbreeze wants to emphasize that the company does not in any way share the attitude towards women portrayed in the film and the company vehemently distances itself from the film and its message. The film does not portray the company’s values. Starbreeze regrets that this film was made and posted on Internet and has initiated an investigation regarding the film, the posting and its message. The company takes this matter very seriously and will act accordingly.

Starbreeze CEO Bo Andersson Klint: “Over a period of time we looked at proposals for various marketing ideas for the “PAYDAY” movie project. This film was one of the proposed ideas that we, for obvious reasons, instantly rejected. ”

Starbreeze AB (publ)

Uttalande med anledning av den film som lagts ut på internet innehållandes tävling om deltagande i ”PAYDAY Girl Contest” m.m. Starbreeze har inte lagt ut filmen på internet och det är inte ett material som är godkänt av bolaget. Starbreeze och den helägda studion OVERKILL Software står inte bakom filmen och dess budskap. Bolaget har initierat en utredning för att ta reda på fakta.

Starbreeze vill understryka att bolaget inte på något sätt står bakom den kvinnosyn som förmedlas i filmen och tar med bestämdhet avstånd från filmen och dess innehåll. Filmen står på intet sätt för bolagets värderingar. Starbreeze beklagar att denna film har tagits fram och lagts ut på internet och har nu initierat en utredning för att nå klarhet i frågan samt de frågor som filmen aktualiserar. Bolaget ser mycket allvarligt på händelsen och kommer att vidta åtgärder.

Starbreeze VD Bo Andersson Klint kommenterar: ”Under en period tog vi in förslag på olika marknadsföringsidéer för filmprojektet PAYDAY. Den här filmen hör av självklar anledning till en av de idéer som vi direkt avfärdade och tackade nej till”.
