Remedy's new CEO is a former sports betting guy and EA executive who aims to 'scale Remedy in a way that builds lasting value'

Smells cooked to me.

I've always preferred the term IAP (in-app purchase), especially since the transactions are anything but micro

[schwertimstein@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

same could have been said about Blizzard

[i_clean_here@lemmy.world]

Just don't overextend, Remedy. Stay in your niche you dumbasses. Stay unique. No one cares about Firebreak exactly because it is just some lame copycat bullshit.

'scale Remedy in a way that builds lasting value'

Checks corpo-speak to English dictionary:

Lasting value is cash: Scale plan: First down, drastically, then bisect as many times as possible, then sell off the chunks to the highest bidders.

I didn't know Firebreak existed (or forgot it). Doesn't look like anything that makes me want to buy and play. I am not against the idea of the game, its just not exiting (unless you have friends or family who are exited for this). Looks like a forced multiplayer live service game on a developer who are known for interesting single player games... where did we saw that before? (Anthem, Suicide Squad, Marvel's Avengers, Fallout 76)

I never understood why Remedy got publicly traded.

This is the TRUE American Nightmare. Rest in peace, Mr. Wake.

[pazintach@piefed.social]

There goes another good studio. RIP.

[slaacaa@lemmy.world]

Barely enough time left to add some microtransactions

[bitjunkie@lemmy.world]

Fuck that shit

[blackmist@feddit.uk]

Well that's an ominous headline if ever I saw one.

[harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Nah. It'll be an online hero shooter.
