Puny Human shuts down
Who?
The Callisto Protocol guys
Again I say: Who?
The Dead Space rip-off guys
Who?
rip bozo
maybe try making good games next time
callisto was made by striking distance, no?
Co-developed
another ESG fund closure victim
could it be this easy?
how many has there been now? since the closure we've had
>unity trying to wring out developers
>epic games layoffs
>naughty dog layoffs
>relic entertainment layoffs
>team17 layoffs
>hyenas cancellation post-open-beta
>puny human closure
I'm sure I'm missing a bunch too, don't think this is even the start of it neither
>ESG fund closure
>it's real
Holy shit... the beast actually can bleed?
Fricking have a nice day they're just rebranding it, ESG is not going away
How is a rebrand of something that is already known to have killed multiple studios going to be received any better?
There's a letter too https://punyhuman.com/closure/
He's acting like this year was somehow absolutely catastrophic to the whole industry, what the hell is he talking about
Blackrock probably, every developer that went woke is about to go broke unironically
i never played any of their games, was wokeness an issue with them?
in UC4 a strong independent black female is able to fight off the two main protags who have killed thousands of men
What did this company even do, they have a bunch of games in their projects page but then when I look at the steam pages they aren't listed under developer or publisher and when I google it all I get is their projects page
>What did this company even do
merc studio. they get hired to help other studios. essentially doing the b***h work.
very interesting. maybe their work wasn't up to standards and that's why they didn't get paid lol
Failed business
Much cheaper to hire pajeets for that kind of jobs
https://punyhuman.com/projects/
They are (were, kek) doing support work on Hyper Light Breaker and Tribes of Midgard. Splitgate was popular for a couple weeks too last year I think.
Uniornically. There's been a slew of layoffs happening at game companies very recently but most of the positions were QA (Quality Assurance) and most articles state that they'll be outsourced "overseas" (i.e. pajeetland or southeast asia).
They were the ones doing Sliptgate? I feel bad for them, as the concept there was solid enough (but really needed Portal's "see through the Portal" functions to be perfect. But Halo: Infinite literally came out within like 2-3 weeks of it's blow-up to kill it (and then itself kek) completely.
No, they're just the support studio. Probably making assets and textures and stuff.
thanks moron
Wanted to pointing out, since morons are already coming up with the usual WOKE stuff
This studio barely even did original work, it was mostly coding support
Who decided to just not pay them? Given how much work they did with inXile I am going to guess them because it seems like something Brian Fargo would do.
>decided to not pay them
so, something which happens when funding is ended?
>big publisher isn't funded anymore by a certain group (blackrock, vanguard, state street)
>big publisher won't pay out to a support studio
oh no!

I bet it was striking distance. They don't have enough to pay their own devs they probably aren't paying them either. Likely a contract that specified future payments for the work rendered prior to release, that there hasn't been enough tail end sales to cover.
