A Word about Level-5 Abby.

I was hoping I wouldn’t have to make a post like this, but this needs to be addressed. I normally wouldn’t be taking the risk of taking part in online drama, but in this case; I will make an exception.

It seems Level-5 Abby, as shown in this post; has been accused of mismanagement of their workforce and the IPs they manage in the US.

This is just a small sample of complaints, but it might explain some of the silence about the licensing of Yo-kai Watch and other content; and does not reflect well on the work environment for the company at all. It’s particularly telling that the only notable positives by former employees of the Abby are the selection of food trucks and the Santa Monica location of their workspace.

I do not bear any ill will towards the developers themselves or Akihiro Hino; but if anyone else has had a bad experience working at Level-5 Abby, feel free to come forward and let others know about it. You don’t have to tell me personally, but if you have any information or grievances, people need to know about this. I don’t know the full extent of the problems just yet, but if you have personally been wronged by the company or the people in charge of it, share your stories with others; because something has to be done. If this is true, it would not be the first time a company has had these kind of working conditions, and it most likely won’t be the last.
