Seems Midnight Suns flopping might have had consequences for him.

Shame too, since MS actually plays pretty well if you can overlook the Marvelshit and kinda mediocre writing.

Oh frick me Steve Martin announced he was going too while I made this thread

Really bad portent of things to come imo. Firaxis is more than these two dudes but they were damn good at making XCOM and 3 is maybe gonna suffer from their loss, assuming its coming.
It can't be a coincidence that two top people leave at the same time. Either they're starting a new studio together, or some shit we don't know about went down during the development of that shitty Marvelslop game that made them break ties with Firaxis.
It flopped. That's honestly enough explanation imo.
Seethe & cope
Midnight Suns was a deliberate sabotage to force a hostile takeover. New management is all mobileshit devs.
civ 6 was a mobile game only accidentally released on PC anyway
The dream may be over, but I'll always cherish the mwmories I had with /xcg/. And maybe someday, some bright spark will develop something in the vein of xcom 1 and 2. And xcom 2 still has an active modding scene. I am happy I had two great xcom games in the 2010s.
And I'll be around.
Still hoping for a qt cyclops girl mod in xcom 2!

Or maybe this is actually just a reshuffle after some rough years of two flops in a row and they are going back to traditional nuXCOM and Civ.
XCOM will probably be better off with some fresh blood, EU/EW were good but the series moved in a direction I didn't like
XCOM2 was such a huge step down from EW that i can only imagine the utter state of the marvel slop
Like I said, it plays well. The Marvel stuff is lowbrow capeshit as you would expect though.
>Like I said, it plays well
plenty of morons will say the same thing about XCOM2
It’s an unbalanced game where pods can frick you over but still fun. My favorite is sending in a op blade master to solo alien black sites
Lmao circumcised wierdo, its utter garbage, just like everything firaxis has done.
Does this mean Civ7 will actually be good?
solomon had nothing to do with civ, which i believe will continue to get ruined by ed "fricking moron" beach
S
I hope he chokes on whatever new idea he's cooking.
But what about muh XCOM 3?
It was never going to happen.
NuCOM was kinda shit anyway and took the genre in a shit direction
Guys, dont worry, Heather Hazen is taking over his job.
>...an Executive Producer on Fortnite at Epic Games, as well as Plants vs. Zombies and Bejeweled while at PopCap Games.
Im just glad that firaxis is ramping up the diversity in their leadership now. They were exemplary in their recent games but getting rid of old white males is an important next step.
Get ready. XCOM 3 will be a woke troony game
We already knew that. Internally, Chimera Squad was considered a big success at Firaxis due to the Marvelslop banter.
that's odd, i'm not seeing her name here
https://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/plants-vs-zombies/credits
or here
https://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/bejeweled-deluxe/credits
very strange. she should email them a correction.
She was an executive producer, aka she helped get the game funded. Middle management money man.
>money peddler in charge now
next xcom is going to be mobile-only and have gachas
i hope you’re ready to pay $30 for a CHANCE to roll a rocket heavy
That's what, 80% of all big names behind nucom 1&2 that have left by now? I mean I won't argue that Chimera Squad and Midnight Suns aren't the kind of games you should be fired over, but we all know that for all their flaws it's not like more competent people will appear out of thin air to replace them. Jake single-handedly revived TBT in the West, sure he's washed up but I doubt Firaxis or anywhere else is gonna have a Jake 2. I was worried about how X3 would turn out for the longest time, but I think now it's time to stop worrying and stop caring.
Jake Solomon didn't do Chimera Squad, that was Mark Nauta IIRC. Nauta is also the most likely candidate to lead XCOM 3 (assuming it's happening in the first place) now that Solomon quit.
