David Cage is known for his controversial game design and storyline choices. The founder of French studio Quantic Dream is known for games like Omikron: The Nomad Soul, Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy, Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls.

His upcoming project, PlayStation 4 exclusive Detroit: Become Human, is due to launch in 2018. The game will touch on sensitive subjects and Cage talked about this in an interview with the Official PlayStation Magazine (OPM) UK (September 2017, issue #139).

Detroit: Become Human Has Sold Over 5 Million Units; Community Play Twitch Extension Reportedly Very Popular

Dealing with this kind of subject matter, where we deal with violence... I just wanted to make sure that whatever we do in Detroit: Become Human, there is no ambiguity and our meaning is absolutely clear. Honestly, I cancelled a couple of scenes where I felt the meaning could be interpreted wrongly. It was a very interesting thing for me because it made me realize that with Detroit: Become Human, that we are dealing with very meaningful things and that you need to be careful and be respectful and pay attention to what you have to say. And that was scary but at the same time, once the fear has gone, you say 'wait a second, I'm working on a videogame, it's meaningful, it's important, it has something to say, it needs to be respectful, I need to pay attention to everything, but at the same time I'm talking about something'.

Cage also said that in the end, Detroit: Become Human remains just a game and thus, a piece of entertainment.
