You really think that's what happened there?

You tell us what happened then

It didn't happen any other way

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

People Can Sink confirmed.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Is that Webster on those bills?

 

[nial]

I'm kinda surprised to see that People Can Fly was MIA in the whole PS4/Xbox One era.

Can't believe people really think Sweet Baby Inc. just bullies devs into doing whatever they want.

You’re so naive

Devs aren’t looking for SBI for advice on becoming better, more left or inclusive, they need SBI to score them to get bigger ESG investments, the more diverse with the alphabet or minority representation the bigger score and more chances to get more money from ESG investments.

SBI ain’t bullying anyone, they give the clear guidelines to pocket more cash. Devs want more cash and follow the suggestions to increase score.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

I definitely feel like we’re reaching the point where we’re gonna start seeing long gaps between big games. So many cancellations and studio closures.

I think SB used both playing to corporate greed and bullying.

They were creators of bulletstorm, how can you fall like that...

The Duke Nukem Bulletstorm DLC is the best DLC ever made.

It's Duke Nukem in Bulletstorm and he knows he's in the wrong game.

Yea,



By promoting fear tactics live in public, I’m not sure if the name bullying is right but it’s really close. They indirectly make employees grab HR/Marketing by the balls so that SBI comes in and gets business…

Terror tactics are also used by other groups.. what are they called again? Terror.. something ..

 

[EDMIX]

smh, talking about


"People Can Fly"

no the fuck ya'll can't! lol

 

[Roni]

Good thread to update the ignore list...

 

[Mobilemofo]

I'd like to see a bullet storm sequel, with the main lead in a wheelchair.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Dont worry PCF.

Just do what every other person or business does when they cant get partnership/publishing financing for their home, office or business.

Walk into a bank with a business plan and prove to the loan officer you are legit and deserve a loan.

Of course! So why the SBI hate, when you're bigger concern has little to do with them but the investors themselves?

God forbid every main female character in a game doesn't have huge boobs or the villain in a game is a white guy, huh? To call it the "Social Justice Industry" is nonsense. Sorry bro. When will the conspiracy theories end?

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

I hate them too, happy now? Why are you trying to hard to deflect criticism away from SBI? You trying to get in some polyamorous chick’s pants or something?

 

[Kadve]

Sounds just weird to burn through quite some money before realising Take2 pulling the plug much earlier was the right move.
Who greenlights these projects to even enter any already costlier production stage or stubbornly continue to hit a wall later on? Either the story or the proposed gameplay loop should be rocksolid before doing anything that costs a lot. You don't have to design artsy chairs, tables and furniture, detailed rocks and luscious nature only to notice that neither plot nor player actions are fun.

Sounds like they were polishing it up to the point that another publisher might show interest. But failed to find any.

 

[Von Hugh]

They have made nothing of substance in the last 10 years, and Bulletstorm and Gears of War: Judgment were Xbox 360 games for Pete's sake.

If they take 15 years to make a game, that's not going to fly. Or them. They are not going to fly.

 

[AJUMP23]

Not all investments pay off. But you learn things that can be used on the next project.

 

[Punished Miku]

Just finished Gears 3 last night and noticed their name in the credits for support studios. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what they end up doing if their own projects can't cut it.
