Tell me you're gonna go bankrupt without telling me you're...

Fuck growth for its own sake. Let's stop this cancer cell mentality. Sustainability's where it's at.

[-] Quexotic@beehaw.org 5 points 12 hours ago

That's so disappointing. I loved their games. 🥺

[-] drmoodmood@lemmy.ml 8 points 22 hours ago

Wow. That is a shame. Accelerate growth by probably sucking all the soul out of the studio.

"Accelerate growth" - business jargon for "enshittification."

Get your bingo cards out. Microtransactions, super mega ultra deluxe editions, account requirement, Denuvo, online requirement, platform exclusivity

[-] GammaGames@beehaw.org 4 points 1 day ago

Pointing out platform exclusivity is hilarious, considering

I'm out of the loop, I haven't bought an EA game in a decade (or two). Did they already go full platform exclusive or something?

Alan Wake 2 was only made because Epic funded its development. That also means the game is locked to EGS (but is obviously on consoles)

[-] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 3 points 22 hours ago

Ah. Thanks!

[-] calliope@retrolemmy.com 2 points 8 hours ago

Thanks for asking, honestly. I didn’t make the connection either.

Rip remedy

They're done. I hope their devs can find better employment elsewhere.

Translation: It's time to reap the massive profits by cutting down this artsy studio y'all sowed

[-] ech@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 day ago

Fucking dammit. One of the few big-ish studios out there worth following.

RIP

[-] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 day ago

Today will be known as the day Remedy died. Fucking dickheads.

[-] petrol_sniff_king@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 day ago

Goodbye, Alan Wake. We'll miss you.

OH my fucking god.
