It's also normal for small companies with contracts with big companies to promote them on their site. Consultant firms, marketing companies and advertising companies do this all the time. It helps build up their brand to sign up more companies. SBI got lucky they got away with it for years as it wasnt till 2024 where anti-DEI and dreadful sales really hit the fan. Maybe some in 2023 too. But this year has been a disaster. People had enough.If SBI's advice is so great, why are so many games failing? Is it just a coincidence, or could their 'expertise' be part of the problem?
One day, people will look back and wonder how SBI got away with it for so long.
As a comparison, Robocop that came out last year sold 800+.50+ era members are buying this game
Maybe that's the point. These vultures aren't stupid. They know it'll flopIt’s gonna flop like a rotting Scandinavian fish, with erectile dysfunction.
It’s China and Saudis grand plant to buy up the entertainment industry for pennies on the dollarMaybe that's the point. These vultures aren't stupid. They know it'll flop
You have to ask why though.
I have a feeling there's a lot more to this that everyone is overlooking.

Nonsense. It's project 2025..It’s China and Saudis grand plant to buy up the entertainment industry for pennies on the dollar
Who knows at this point, but this is in no way sustainable by any metric.« Never attribute to malice something that can be explained by sheer stupidity »
I wishlisted it. Not expecting much but its a new IP and it seems a bit similar to 3rd Birthday with the teleportation possession stuff. Look at all this glorious slightly janky AA stealth. That is my fetish.
I'm 100% picking it up on sale.
We've had this

and we've had this
Well, ladies and gentlemen, get ready to feast your eyes on this!
.... how long until we can seriously make one of those "gruff white male video game character" compilations for this tired, overused design template?
This was ellen page on a freakin ps3, i hope this answer your questionI have a serious question for the techie ladies and gents.
Do we have the scanning technology to just put the actual actresses face in the game? I’m so damn confused why they do this to women and men look great in comparison.
Thank you in advance.
I dont know if anybody is still hiring them (i doubt it...unless you have complete idiots/activists in the management). But game development usually happens for several years and the backlash just happened this year. So I expect we will see a lot more games over the next two, three years where SBI was heavily involved....cause it cannot be undone anymore.This doesn’t make sense to me. Imagine a company hires a consultant to help them improve their sales, but the consultant’s advice actually leads to a decrease in sales. Yet, they keep hiring them.
By mentioning Veilguard as 1000+, that does prove that only a few care about SBI involvement as they are heavily involved in that game also.As a comparison, Robocop that came out last year sold 800+.
New games coming soon like Veilguard are 1000+, A Quiet place 300+, Farm Sim 2025 is 200+, and Poppy Playtime is 300+.
At 50+, Unknown 9 is selling as well as Empire of the Ants also in the 50+ tier, and released 6 months ago.
I don't think it looks like Forspoken at all... The gameplay and the story are quite different. Forspoken gameplay is fast
paced, focused almost entirely on spells and mobility:
While Unknow 9 has a slower gameplay, focused on stealth combined with melee combat:
I know that is fun to shit on Forspoken, which has a bad story and some awful dialogues, but the combat can be quite fun and well made... If the player understands it... Which unfortunately most players didn't even tried to...
Fallen is WAY more action-y than this, it's decent overall.I waited on Atlas Fallen until it hit GP. Looks AA but fun. Still have to play that. This looks similar. Easy playthrough on GP or for like $15-20.
Which is good. I like AA games and really don't give a shit what the character looks like.Looks like something that's gonna be on gamepass a month later.
You people are still obsessed with SbI? Seriously why the F do you all care so much? They aren't going anywhere, they also aren't the ones killing games, the devs making bad games are. SBI are still getting hired as consultants and getting paid while you all cry, b*tch and moan like 4 yr olds. Bro it's time to move on and act like an adult.
...I thought Star Wars Outlaws already came out and failed.
Most sane minded people are sick fed up with the way the industry is thesedays, and the only way that things will change is if we seriously start voting with our wallets. SBI and the like need to be monitered and rightfully called out so that we can enact change by avoiding products that are infested by them. So yes, we are still "obsessed" with them. A lot of us still care about the medium in general and wont sit by and ignore companies like this who are actively seeking to destroy it.You people are still obsessed with SbI?

Don't get me wrong—I’m definitely not a fan of woke ideology creeping into gaming. Not at all. But reading through the comments in this thread makes me cringe. Some of the things being said are just awful; there are truly some terrible people on GAF.

Yah, it’s a symptom I’m “okay” dealing with (the unhinged retarded lunatics) because at least here you can call them out for being retarded.Don't get me wrong—I’m definitely not a fan of woke ideology creeping into gaming.

The above comment was in regards to SBI, not this game in particular. The game itself will most likely bomb as it looks as you say "mid af", true, but the SBI involvement is nothing to disregard, and pretend that they have nothing to do with this.Sane people do not give a fuck. You are unhinged.
Game looks mid af, will bomb on its own merits. Has nothing to do with the “DEI” boogeyman.
Some of y’all honestly need to commit
yourselves to an institution before you end up hurting yourselves or others. Holy shit.
100%, but i bet we won't agree on who these people are.there are truly some terrible people on GAF.
