I saw the studio mocked as "artists and 'idea guys' " online. Without Mike's engine this won't go very far.
They might be able to offer services as art contractors though - IIRC Euwreker handled a lot of that sort of stuff and could maybe make that work as a business.

Nope, they plan on making games.
The same guys from Lab Zero who quit have been running around on /v/. Mariel herself or someone who was close to her went on /lzg/, the lab zero games general on /v/ to tell (part of) her story a few hours before she made her full statement on Twitter.

In those same threads, ex-LZ staff constantly made it known that they feel programmers are expendable and replaceable.
They still roam around nowadays too spouting the same thing, just jump into any Mike Z or Lab Zero related thread on /v/ at any given time and mention Mike's usefulness.

Future Club sounds more and more like Comcept.

Looking through who's currently on the team there is not a single programmer in sight. This shit is definitely doomed to fail considering they didn't even consider getting a couple of programmers on board before opening this shit. Really shows their priorities.

https://www.futureclub.dev/team - it lists 8 people but says there's 15 people on the team.

They could have as many as 7 actual programmers! Although for some reason, none of them are on the website even though they look like they put everyone up they could.

Also, there's a vice article (https://www.vice.com/en/article/7kp...ses-from-the-wreckage-of-skullgirls-developer) which has a few gems.

Some co-ops pay every employee the same salary, but Future Club is likely to do something different, based on seniority and experience. This confronts an issue co-ops run into, as people's situations are often different. Someone with two kids, for example, will need more money than someone who does not. The studio's rules haven't been completely laid out yet, but Esquenazi said they "will try to be as fair as possible" and all salaries will be transparent.

"Hey I know we're a co-op but we've got a CEO and a Director any we're not going to pay everyone the same - but it won't be based on how much work you do, but based on how much money the company thinks you need". LMAO.

"We need to have money first, before we can pay people," laughed Esquenazi. "We're working on that."
Where that money comes from is yet to be determined; Future Club is still figuring out its identity and internal culture.

Who wouldn't want to work at a studio with no plans, no money, and no direction?

Honestly it looks like something thrown together in the hopes that they get contracted to keep working on Skullgirls by whomever actually owns the IP in what could be described as a "desperate hope for a PR move" - although honestly the Skullgirls IP isn't that valuable and is already past it's prime. There's no one at Future Club Games that could be trusted with a Skullgirls 2 (or anything similar) and I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to invest more into the studio that's handling the mobile version instead.

Gootecks still really, really wants the pandemic to be over.
but why?
Shouldn't he be kinda safe since he's somewhat internet famous? As long as he doesn't get cancelled by the FGC in hard manner, he should be in the clear. At least that's what I thought until I searched for gootecks on this site, and came across this post:

Gootecks has been losing it the last couple of years ever since his YT channel Cross Counter bombed thanks to Street Fighter V's low popularity and Mike Ross pursuing other games.

I guess that would explain why the twitter account for Cross Counter TV has been dead since July.

His show with Mike Ross was fun, but not much else from CC was interesting for me. They had a good thing going (hell, Zhi and Xian's content was also great, with asian players) but the promotional content (I think they did some tekken and sfxt too) was clearly too forced and it's no surprise SFV ended up being the final nail in the coffin.

He didn't seem like an asshole but he looks pretty dead now.

If this was 2015, a big deal could have made about Gootecks. But nowadays his internet fame is decidedly more coming from being the pogchamp guy than anything in his FGC days, which is sad because CC was probably peak fighting game funtimes outside of hype tournaments. It's not even like being the pogchamp guy has any real notoriety, just like knowing where the Kappa face or residentsleeper emotes come from. If I recall he was always the partying type, going out to clubs and I think he had gigs as a DJ? He's probably safe monetarily but he's probably like most people and just sick of the lockdowns themselves.

The FGC community is a bunch of trash talkers and honestly are much more "street" than cancel-culture is used to. Unless he comes out as a diddler or something, people are used to things like all the domestic abusers like Noel Brown/Infiltration (kinda), people actually attacking each other in tournaments, and other such fun things that someone being guilty of wrong-think probably isn't a big deal. r/Kappa mocks gootecks a lot, especially after the tweets supporting HCQ, but I don't think he'll actually get cancelled...although I have underestimated 2020 before...

Isn't that taken straight from some recent meme of a guy doing the exact same thing, but with in a car?
Also this looks like an ad for a bootleg chinese game

"CORE VALUES" at it again. Apparently ass slapping in a commercial for mobile shit is a big no-no.

People are mad that Terry slapped the asses of some (admittedly nice looking) anime women, in a pre-rendered 3D commercial. They should be angry that this is a fucking gachashit game. Anyways, as usual the reaction is gay and melodramatic.

Gachashit, unfortunately, is becoming more and more popular. Hell earlier this month they released a mobile game based on a Hentai on Steam (except, to no surprise, it's a censored version)

This isn't the first time that a mobile game became part of Steam either. And the gacha shit is still intact in the PC versions of these games.

But of course, the complaints and uproars against this kind of shit are only in the minority. The majority will eat this shit alive, and for anyone that's familiar with "Genshin Impact" will know exactly what I'm talking about.

I remember wondering a few years ago "wait, how exactly does a sex-centric gacha work?", then I later found out that DMM hosts them as gacha web browser games optimised for portrait aspect ratio. Why bother with the App Store when you can get through another way?

The way the article reads, Mike was the guy who presented and did the legwork on the ggpo guilty gear project, then they suspended him when it was mostly finished. If this had happened to someone not cursed, people would probably get mad about it. But the replies to the tweet are praising the decision.
