Reikon started teasing a new game late last year. Codenamed Final Form, it's to be published under Plaion's Prime Matter arm, which was consolidated into Deep Silver mid-2023.

Huge layoffs at this company that leaves them with 20-25 employees~
Another casualty of Embracer(Deep Silver is Embracer)

The studio grew because their pitch was accepted and were received funding to create this project but now they simply have to layoff most of the studio because the project got axed.

"Wow holy shit not only the original quoted posted was banned for saying truths here, but a fellow gamedev that shared their perspective on the acquisition wasn't great for them and worried for their other gamedev friends also got banned.

At this point, fuck it. Fuck you Era staff. You ain't on our side, never been. Ever since the NFT bullshit. Fuck you all. We from the gaming industry are all seeing our fellow colleagues getting their lives RUINED thanks to the immediate aftermath of this fucking acquisition that even I was victim of believing it to be a good thing and then ate crow.

Now that we're facing the results of mergers and how the fucking top earners have no respect for all the workers that makes the incredible games happen, and seeing fellow gamedev colleagues here getting banned for the fucking audacity to say, in the most respectful meanor possible, how it was dangerous to champion such a merger.

Fuck you ResetEra Staff. You never were allied of gamedevs in the first place.
We only have eachother to look out for. Gamedevs reading this you can all reach me on twitter.

I'm done with this shithole of a forum. Fuck you once again."

GODDAMN HE WENT DOWN LIKE A BOSS 🙏

I wonder whether the digital-only revisions are still going to happen. At this point, buying a game digitally on Xbox is a bit like buying an album on minidisc.

It is.

But japanese consumers haven't been swindled by con artist phil spencer, so it won't matter to them.

Yet they're trying to settle the deal again 🤔

I want my ABK shares pay day more than anything Xbox related.

There's more reasons to support this deal than the fucking box that needs to be spelled with two x's.

Worker's unions and labor have supported this deal for over a year 👆. Getting rid of that shit heel Bobby Kotick is another plus.

This is old news buddy. Or do you not care about the people that actually work for these companies, only lists you can use for console warring?

Also continue showing your ass, Xbox can make desirable products and have for 22 years.

I'm both.

The hyperbole on this deal is out of control on this forum.

This is not the worst thing in the industry, gaming will continue, and you'll get to play all the games you love and will love.

Think about what ABK even is.

Activision: Call of Duty
Blizzard: WoW, Diablo, Overwatch,
King: Mobile stuff

Microsoft owning that is really going to change the industry for the worst, when Call of Duty is going back on Nintnedo and a bunch of cloud providers are going to get Call of Duty?

ABK barely release games as it is today.

It's not just for my payday if you read more of my post.

Better worker conditions and unionization, expansion of major brands to other consoles and services, and Game Pass.

Well if you have Game Pass the answer is obvious. For everyone else, Call of Duty would be going back to Nintendo and will be new to cloud providers.

The biggest IP ABK owns that isn't mobile is COD which is staying multiplatform. How does that harm the industry?


Eh, dude..... Union, consolidation.....all good

Kinda funny how the mods are so concerned with console warring now when people can dunk on PlayStation and shitpost about it as much as they want without incident.

One thing I'm curious about, I know the PlayStation community has been greatly suppressed on there, but what about the Nintendo community?

Here's hoping that PlayStation continues to have disc drives for at least one more generation after this one.

That's a good thing so now the government just needs to put something in place that allows for people who purchased digital to get their money back if they don't like something or one of their "kids" made an accidental purchase. This is how Microsoft is going to keep their money. No physical means no decreased prices which means their going nintendo with keeping 6 year or older games at full price.

I don't think we will have to worry about that for awhile since Japan their home country still favors physical.
