It really is. I would go as far as to call it a clickbait article. The title is intriguing but the only addition to the statement is that that the era is over because every game doesn't need to release with something new. And that's essentially the whole article as the rest is just filler.
I am pretty sure the “every game doesn’t need something new” era had already started in the mid-80s. And new mechanics, and new takes on old ones, still happen.
Imo open sourcing is not necessary, as that is unrealistic depending on the licensing of libraries etc. Just distributing the server and making it possible to selfhost would be enough.
Or, built local network play in to the game itself (although this requires most of the work necessary for creating a selfhostable server anyway).
The ceo is the son of one of the founders of Inuit, the turbotax/quickbooks company. Hes even on sliptgates board.
The owner is pure nepo and will never face any consequence for failure. Its pretty easy to see why they dont care about killing the company and fucking the employees.
I kind of feel like the golden age of “rebooted live service game” is behind us, tbh. We had games like FFXIV and Rainbow Six: Siege that launched rough, but committed to fixing it and then successfully turned it around. In those days, there weren’t many live service games, so people were willing to wait out a possible turnaround. In the time since, we have been absolutely drowning in live-service games, and many of them are free-to-play. Why would I wait for the Splitgate turnaround when there are 3 other live-service f2p shooters that I haven’t even tried yet? If I’m a kid or young adult that came up on Roblox, I might even be content with the shooters built into that platform.
tbh seeing “Xbox” in the same headline as Silksong makes me scared for the future. Obviously M$ can’t layoff any Team Cherry employees, I just hope this partnership is solely a marketing partnership and Team Cherry is not very exposed to Xbox’s failures.
Good lord, about time. I wonder how intricate a universe they crafted during these 6 (?) years. Can’t wait to wander through Bonebottom or whatever it’s called
