Really disappointed in this response. I've got a soft spot for the first Greedfall, and Steelrising holds a prominent spot in my backlog. As they're a "AA" studio, I've had this idea of them as a scrappy, passionate team, but this response is tone-deaf and contentious, lacking any compassion for the concerns of the workers, favoring lukewarm platitudes ("we are determined to maintain an inclusive and stimulating working environment in which every talent can flourish and of which we can all be proud”) and even a clumsy advertisement for Greedfall 2.

I'll have to look into this, Greedfall was a very charming (if janky) AA game that I liked a lot and I've been looking forward to the sequel.

Same here. Loved the setting and style, and the story and characters were admirably close to (the good) 3rd-person bioware stuff.

I don't usually pay full price for games, but I was thinking of buying Greedfall 2 near release to support what they do. This puts a real taint on things.

Yeah, this sucks. Greedfall 2 was one of my highly anticipated games, and I'll have to see how this progresses before I give them any money.
