The game pass version was broken for me. Sudden and massive fps drops every few minutes, seems like a memory leak. Had to play Lords of the fallen instead.

Still need to play that. But soooo much to play, and I already got a few games I’m actively playing. And I stopped buying onto backlog when I said I’ll need to improve that spending habit of mine on NY 2015. Heh, actually stuck to one of my NY promises for once. 😅

Oh, it’s out??

It has gotten to the point where if you work for a game studio that gets bought out or sold, might as well get ahead of the game and start looking for a new job before they have the chance to fire you.

TSG_Asmodeus,

Before I left the industry in 2022 this is exactly what we did. Only it’s more often when a project is finished.

Less than a day after I find out from an old article that there was supposed to be a modernized remake of Gothic 1 on the way to be published this year and got all excited. Fucking fantastic 😮‍💨

Keegen,

The remake is still happening as it’s developed by Alkimia Interactive and published by THQ Nordic, Pyranha Bytes had nothing to do with it.

rimjob_rainer,

Yes, and I bet it will be a soulless husk of the original.

Keegen,

I’ll reserve my final judgment until 2nd of August and the THQ Nordic Showcase but the playable teaser they released doesn’t leave me optimistic either.

To be fair: Piranha Bytes would have ceased to exist years ago without them…

Actual news: two leads (Jennifer and Björn Pankratz) founded a new studio: Pithead Studios

I guess they can’t carry over any old IP, but at least we might get more Gothic-like games.

leave_it_blank,

Oh man, I hope so!

I prefer their games over anything Bethesda/Diablo/whatever stuff.

Their games, as clunky and weird they sometimes are, have soul and passion. I’m playing Risen 2 at the moment, and I just love the world. So much too see, every corner has something to find, even if it’s just a bottle of Rum.

Wasn’t this already confirmed a few months ago?

Ephera,

I thought so, too. I’m finding news that a closure was strongly suspected, but it wasn’t yet confirmed.

Hmm… One other post said it was rather lacklustre.

So from what I gather, most of these studios were doing fine before they were bought out and now they are all starting over from scratch cause any proprietary stuff they had is owned by Microsoft.

ReversalHatchery,

In the end their name, their achievements and their reputation has been transferred, and nothing else. I feel they (the studios’ teams) have been made use of to then deceive people who trust the names.

jmcs,

Some of them were still doing fine, just not triple the profits well.

I’m sure you’re building the best business you can.

I’m not sure I’d call buying up and burning other companies like furniture in a fireplace ‘sustainable’.

tl;dr: it is what it is
