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'

Well shit. I hope the supposedly in development Control 2 manages to come out somewhat unscathed before things go fully downhill.
There is already a trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhQm-ExRz60

"build lasting value".
Oh no, he's already using shareholder lingo

Into the ground, you say?

Poor Sam Lake.

Well they're done.

Nnooooo
They were already building lasting value.
By just making good artistically meaningful games.
"Art is something that we think is a little outdated in the modern business landscape" - this guy probably.

RIP Remedy

Yeah, I was of the same mind right from the start and people just looked at me funny when I mentioned it. All I could do was just watch in horror from the sidelines. In Finland.

Welp any hopes I had for more of the control universe after resonant just got trashed

Not... Really. Alan Wake 2 under-performed and reportedly broke even 2 years after release. FBC Firebreak was a huge failure. It's not surprising to me that they're gonna pursue money harder. I hope Control 2 is good, at least.

"Art is something that we think is a little outdated in the modern business landscape" - this guy probably.
"Art isn't about artistic expression. Billions of people make paintings and most of them go unseen. Museums, on the other hand... They don't make paintings, they make experiences. For a nominal entry fee, consumers have access to an evolving and ever-changing catalog of content.
This is the future we envision here at Remedy. High quality games that build upon themselves, creating an experience that grows with the player. For that reason, we're announcing that the Alan Wake series will no longer be individual games, but instead a live-service experience with episodic content."
- also that guy probably

Microtransactions are for pussies, macrotransactions are where it's at
Micro transaction is such a stupid pr spin of a term that just means regular transaction and I hate how well it’s caught on.

"We are absolutely cooked, chat." - Alan Wake (writer)

Remedy's next project seems like to be more of the same old same old single player action games, albeit a couple of Max Payne remakes. Not unfuckup:able, with microtransactions, but still safer than some multiplayer hero shooter or smth.
A couple? As in 1 and 2?
-
A couple? As in 1 and 2?
yeah, MP1 and MP2.

I predict a Control gacha game.
A 50/50 soft pity at 100 pulls, with hard pity at 200. Pull your favorite Control character on the limited banner! Note the limited banner character won't transfer to standard once the banner ends. Pity also will not carry over.

I imagine locking Alan Wake 2 to the EGS on pc probably did not help their sales there. FBC I feel like had no excuse though

What the fuck, when was that?
I can't with this industry…
