Video Game Developer Shutdown Watch Thread - Game Company Death Pool

[The Ugly One]

I imagine they probably had issues with monetization because that was a big fuck up regarding Shadow of War

What, did they forget to make a battle pass with clown skins and floss dance emotes?

Since Wonder Woman was allegedly rebooted mid-development my guess is the decision came from on high to try and adapt some of Suicide Squad's season pass crap into the game and when that game died on its ass WB went into panic mode and decided to just axe the game completely.

Anyway RIP good Monolith, though I'm sure it died a long time ago. Maybe any remaining talent can make a spiritual successor to Condemned or FEAR or any of the other IPs they were forced to leave for dead.

 

[BradeRunna]

I doubt any of them will actually die. I suspect they will be bought up. The games will be sold off.

If anyone goes soon it would be Ubisoft Bioware and Obsidian. I would think CDPR will stick around while it continues to ruin itself since the launch of CP2077.

it was worse then that.
to get the actual ending you had to grind out your orks and this could take longer then the main game itself.(80 hours up to 130)
or
you spend money on lootboxes to get the legendary orks needed to get the ending.(you could spend up to 400 last i checked to get enough)

 

[Cronarch]

BioWare is definitely getting the axe sooner rather than later.

God I fucking hope so. They have been coasting off of goodwill generated 15 years ago while producing absolute dogshit.

 

[Curious Lurker]

Here's hoping for Total gameslop death

 

[Gobermental Supervisor]

The harder the big game developers die, the better the chance for good indy titles to get the spotlight they deserve.
Good riddance to politicized DEI content in games.

 

[Captain Chromosome]

As much as I hope Ubisoft implodes in a spectacular fashion, I hope The Division 2 manages to live on somehow. It's rare to find a game I just enjoy.

I hope bioware dies before they infect mass effect with aids

This nigga clearly never played 3 or Andromeda.

Multiversus, the surprisingly successful Smash Bros. clone

Yeah its a surprise to me because I wasn't aware it was successful at all.

I mean even for a f2p game that's pretty bad.

You want your chart to look more like War Thunder or Warframe



Even Helldivers managed to survive the Sonypocalypse (not even a fair comparison since you have to buy the game but its still sort of a LIVE SERVICE game so there's overlap)

What did Monolith do to deserve this?

They jumped the microtransaction shark with their Shadow of Mordor sequels. Its a shame, the first game was really good.
I heard that the rivalry system thing they had in their game is patented and doesn't expire till 2036. I LOVE STIFILING INNOVATION!

 

[Random Internet Person]

I hope Ubisoft is next.

Considering everything about Assassin's Creed Shadows, they could be really fucked. Even if it’s a long time coming.

 

[Big moth tiddies]

No one shed any tears for monolith or the wonderfaggot game being destroyed. The entire studio was pozzed.


This is Tanya DePass. Tanya was the senior writer for WW. She's also a piece of human garbage who previously worked at Polygon, was a Diversity Coordinator for GaymerX, and founded "I Need Diverse Games."

In other words, it was all doomed from the start, and the only good outcome is that this obese talking ham beanbag ends up starving to death in a ditch somewhere while screaming about muh pronouns, muh soggyknees, and muh diversity.
I have enclosed a picture of the sheboon below for anyone who is morbidly curious.

Spoiler: FAAAAT

 

[Polock]

[Ubisoft] could be really fucked. Even if it’s a long time coming.

Based on the massive decline in their stock price, they're absolutely cooked. EA or Microsoft or hell, even Epic might swoop in to gobble up their IP's at any point now.

 

[Kane Lives]

Shear lunacy, they're the only MS studio that actually releases games, and with a smaller team size too. I can name three or four obvious MS targets ahead of them in the slaughterhouse line, easy.

So when's 343-- sorry I mean HALO Studios getting axed then?

 

[Big moth tiddies]

Could be sooner than you think.

Welcome to the games industry. It's all coasting odd goodwill from the 7th gen.

Could be sooner than you think.

Microsoft will not give up on using Halo as a poz vector. They would need to take a step back and understand what made Halo popular and how badly it clashes with modern ideologies. Halo's core is still fun no matter how much 343 fucked it up because shooting Grunts is fun. It's everything else that's creating problems.

 

[Chapalapachapa]

hope obsidian and netherrealm studios die

 

[whatever I feel like]

They've already cut it to the point where its just creative direction, and some maintenance teams, haven't they? At that point they can keep killing Halo there forever.

Considering they hired the retarded nigger marketing director for Concord to do essentially the same for Halo, I think they will never learn. In fact, at this point I'm sure it's intentional. These fuckers hate halo. They either want it dead and gone, or they want it devalued until the chinks can just buy it.

Halo is dead, has been dead, and will always from this point on, be dead.
