The game is $46 on CDKeys. Still not worth it. Maybe at $20. Just play it on Gamepass.

Arkane was running into the same problem late Looking Glass was. You're right it can be profitable per dollar but it depends on the sales and the costs of development for what game you're making. If you keep falling below what you need too put the studio in jeopardy.

If Arkane was independent they probably would have closed down back in 2018. So the question is, how much does Microsoft want to spend on Arkane projects that are only managing to fight breaking even?

While I do agree that Redfall was too soon without testing the waters first, it doesn't seem like anyone forced them to do it. Looks like Arkane wanted to go in that direction themselves since they were working on the game before Microsoft acquired the studio and I don't see any evidence Bethesda forced them to make it.

This post did not age well at all. It's like Jason read this post and had to shut him down.

To be honest we have Phil Spencer word that they let them do what they wanted. In Redfall case we have 3 to 5 group concerned: Xbox, Bethesda, Austin leadership, and the rest of Arkane Austin, that could be further divided between those who wanted to do Redfall, those who did not, the ones that had no voice in the matter( too new for example)...
Xbox explained that they wanted for Arkane to do what they wanted. Bethesda did not care, so it was easier for them to continue as planned. Arkane did not seem to have a plan B, so they naturally tried to make it work. Stopping a game in development often means mass layoffs. I would have prefered that solution. But it should have been from Xbox. Who had good reasons not to. Or Bethesda, but they lost any reason to make that kind of decisions. Xbox was honestly fucked no matter what. They just make it worse by putting too much marketing on what is a bad game.

Love the meme We really need the monthly meme competition to be back.

Letting artists do whatever they want isn't always a good idea. Even the best writers have editors and proof readers.

These "artists" didn't want to make this game. The decision came from higher up as an attempt to make a game they could better monetize.

I was talking about Microsoft. Zenimax of course would have had to push them into the project. Once greenlit. But Bethesda was the one I was questioning their involvement, and admittedly it seems they were more involved than I expected, but you skipped that part of the post.

Suuuuure Eddie, you said anyone.

Ah. For some reason, I feel like playing Redfall instead of Diablo 4.

Did they patch it? Oh, look. It has dropped to $62. What a deal.

How's this?
