30 year old studio. That's quite sad. Another victim of hyper capitalism.
Another victim of arrogance perhaps. Before the game even released fans told them that’s not what they want and they said “fuck you, you don’t understand shit” and proceeded to make one of the most uninteresting video games on the planet.
If Embracer Group wasn't frantically trying to right the ship, Volition would've been left alone. This is on the gratuitously large capitalist conglomerate that's bought up every studio it could.
So basically capitalism
...no? It honestly has more to do with ego than anything, and I say that as somebody who currently works in the game industry. It's shocking how out of touch some developers can be when it comes to delivering a product that the players want, especially when those developers hold actual positions of power over the rest of the team (directing and managerial roles).
Volition also did this with Red Faction: Armageddon. They took everything that was good about Guerrilla, threw all of it in the bin and then made Armageddon.
So Volition have form for not doing what the players want.
Under the socialist utopia, every company would be able to make things nobody wants.
Such joy.
Ah yet another “I don’t understand socialism at all yet it’s the thing I obsess about most” stance.
It's just a joke.
What, socialism or your statement about it?
Yeesh
Damn hyper capitalism. THQ should have kept funneling money to a company that couldn’t make a game people wanted.
Sir, this is Lemmy.world. lemmygrad.ml is that way.
