"You can create a Golden Joystick nominated Indie game that has 9/10 on IGN and Steam reviews, wins a BAFTA for best British Game, is profitable, and the megacorps will still shut you down 💔"
The tweets rightly point out that Zelnick, who received more than double his standard financial compensation last year, going from $16 million to $42 million, could have quite literally kept both studios afloat with the money he earned from that year alone.
It is so awesome to see Jason back in a game. Warner Bros. Games today released a new MultiVersus cinematic launch trailer revealing Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th horror movie franchise and Agent Smith from The Matrix film series as playable characters coming to the free-to-play platform fighter videogame.
TSA writes: Taking the classic Theme Hospital and Two Point Hospital as inspiration, Galacticare is a fun alien-filled hospital management game.
Ninja Theory's latest trailer for their highly anticipated narrative action-adventure Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is absolute cinema.
Like I said before, buying Ninja Theory was one of the smartest moves by Microsoft. Games looks incredible.
Unfortunately, their games aren't big sellers. Will MS shut them down if hellblade 2 sells below expectations?
"Like I said before, buying Ninja Theory was one of the smartest moves by Microsoft. Games looks incredible."
Indeed.
Just a few hours to go
I can´t wait!
badass. already installed via gamepass. if its as great as the first one I will pay for the whole game.
if you choose left, turn to page 39, if you proceed forward, turn to page 43, to turn right, page 209, you finished the book early,
no but seriously this looks like Microsofts first hit, or should I say, first game of standout quality.
If it's anything like the first game, you will spend a lot of timing walking and solving puzzles, with some fights thrown in.
LOL! Didn't send any shivers down my spine but I'll demo it after midnight tonight through Gamepass to see what it's giving.
After the midnight? I see...
Day one as expected for another game that you said you had zero interest.
It looks amazing, I’m hoping the reviews are solid. You can tell the studio really poured their heart and soul into this one.
Zelnick is such a two faced pos he has no idea and would probably hold a controller upside down
If they were so commercially viable then why would a publisher close them? That makes no sense.
Tom Bass should be fired as well
The gaming industry isn’t run by gamers. It’s run by selfish ignorant suits
sucks but business is business. its not just about being profitable. that's def the goal, but the goal is also to remain profitable. and if the forecasts suggest that the studios will cost more than the profits they will make into the future vs operating costs etc.... you're in a delicate spot. indie shops still cost money to run and the reliability of profits vs operating costs vs future sales are things we as the public just aren't privy to. The last studio I worked at made Titanic's visual effects, work, does 90% of the visual effects in marvel movies/shows, won tons of BAFTAs, CLIOs, Academy Awards and so on and still filed bankruptcy... twice. That's why I don't work there now. despite the successes, the forecasts weren't good.
it still sucks and I feel like they prob didn't need to do this but at the same time, we don't know their reasoning. I don't think corps are inherently evil, they just prioritize money over anything else - they may not care about ppl, but I don't think they are intentionally trying to screw ppl's lives up.. so if they are cutting costs, then they see something as a potential problem, and we as the public don't see the full story - of which there are always two sides.
