With AI and microtransactions you say!
Microtransactions are for pussies, macrotransactions are where it's at

Is this dude the reason Firebreak exists? Cuz if so, that doesn't bode well.
What's the second word of the title?

I argee with the article's author that there's reason to have some concerns about this.
Well shit. I hope the supposedly in development Control 2 manages to come out somewhat unscathed before things go fully downhill.

It doesn't say how new. But Firebreak is the cited reason they hired this new guy. So hopefully that means they won't go down that path.

Remember when Konami was charging money for save slots?
I can't with this industry… -

Of course, they announce a DMC-like Control sequel and go apeshit right after… I swear this genre is cursed.

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"Art is something that we think is a little outdated in the modern business landscape" - this guy probably.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"Art is something that we think is a little outdated in the modern business landscape" - this guy probably.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
