Those are the words that MS needs to be saying right now.

Will they even be allowed to release a game or will the project just be cancelled and the studio shut down?

MS has shown that they don't care about talent. They gonna fuk you anyway.

Indifferent. You look at all the mistakes being made in the AAA space and it brings you down, but then you look at all the good contributions by indies and it brings you back up again. We never had access to so many great tools and resources to make games like we do now. Devs and publishers need to figure shit out and put them to good use.

12M copies of Helldivers 2 is impressive and they did it because....

Designing games around monetization and predatory practices. Also, forced woke shit.

It's a game about sneaking in shadows and you have three glowing lights strapped to your face. You can't take it seriously right from the get go.

I am not against set spec PCs that developers can target, but Steam OS limits game access to Steam games, which makes it shit. Also, if I am spending money on hardware, I want to be able to use it for other things besides gaming. Having to run a dual boot setup goes against the simplicity of a console and just complicates the overall machine usage.

MS has done it in the past and it's the same shit that Embracer Group has been doing. Overly aggressive acquisitions without the leadership to steer the ship in the right direction. Then they get pressure to start delivering returns on the acquisitions and shit goes down.

I can see it as the first game was not that good and people focused on the psychosis gimmick more than evaluating the game as a whole. I am not hyped for the sequel and the chief ninja already left the company. So, things are not looking good. Hopefully the game is good though, but that will not guarantee their safety as Tango has shown.
