Oh nooooooo not my Returnallike vidya nooooooooi
>wasting this aesthetics and GITS vibe on some roguelike slop
Nothing of value was lost
To think Saints Row bombing would have such a large impact
The saudis saw that & decided that giving them 2 billion dollars was a bad idea.
based Saudis; but if this gets TQ2 cancelled, I'm calling jihad.
Weren't xhey working on Ruiner 2? That sucks.
They should just learn to farm/weld/lay bricks.
75 people seems like an absurdly large team to make a game as small as Ruiner
fricking moron
>A she was a hoowah, B she was a hoowah
They were scaling up for their second game
They've released nothing since 2017. How did they even stay afloat for so long?
Prior to 2023 Embracer used hands-off approach to their studios, not interfering with the development. E.g. Biomutant, devs said that Embracer didn't interfere, and in the end game came out so-so because of devs being too unfocused. But that approach is no more. Welp.
Between them and Microsoft having the same approach it kind of proves that game devs are lazy, useless frickers who need to be forced to perform crunch time and be pushed constantly by management if they want to actually put out an even halfway decent game these days, eh?
Gamesdevs are generally fine, but they quickly get demotivated when a shitty lead takes the reigns and supresses opposition. THOSE are the guys that Embracer needs to tard-wrangle.
wtf? why did that studio even need 75 people? their game was not that big.
If anyone doesn't know heres what happened
>make deal with some other company (saudi company i think)
>deal will provide A LOT of money
>deal is almost guaranteed
>go on spending spree because you got that deal coming up
>day of deal, get ready to sign
>about to go to meeting
>get call
>deals off
>stuck with purchases you likely can't afford now
>freak out and start cutting cost whete you can
>>go on spending spree because you got that deal coming up
Are we talking about 3 digit IQ adults here?
Welcome to modern economics. Damn near everyone uses the business model of kicking the can down the road because you can get hypothetically higher returns investing more than you have with the assumption that you'll make it all back between investors and sales.

? they are not owned by embracer
their publishing is owned by embracer
one of the millions of subdivision of embracer is publishing their next game, that doens't mean they can go around firing people
Whats with all the layoffs? Unity, Rare, MS?
Economy is crashing
it is soft landing.
Don't forget, Slava Ukraini. 2 more weeks, 500k+ never forget.
good riddance. ruiner was style over substance trash.
>sign a deal with israelite company
>get suprised you are getting israeliteed
What the frick were they thinking was going to happen
Thats some shitty news. Ruiner might not be a goty, but its a very fun cuberpunk game. I wanted to see a some sort of sequel from it. It sucks.
Destroy All Humans / TMNT Ronin devs weren't safe either
