The board that allowed him to present and push the idea forward is still there. The power structure that wanted this change is still there.

Riccitello is gone (and fuck him for many reasons) but Unity isn’t changed, it just has a different face.

“You’re the guy who put Microtransactions into FIFA? Come on in and sit down!”

They always knew.

More like "We don’t want to say it was only that game… "

Though actually with it a year later, I would say their follow up effort wasn’t amazing them… which makes more sense. They probably were going through Pre-prod on “saints row too” or what ever it was going to be. And Embracer didn’t want to continue.

Truthfully Agents of Mayhem isn’t Overwatch… Which is kind of the problem. It wasn’t saints row, It wasn’t a new game. It just kind of existed.

I wonder if this is just a Hail Mary to try to stop the fear that the merger will make Microsoft the most dominant face in streaming.

Even if it’s agreed upon, it just means in two generations once internet speeds reach where they need to be for streaming to be feasible, Microsoft will get those rights back. Streaming means next to nothing today, but the fear is in a couple generations, that’s going to be the future of gaming, especially seeing how much publishers want to stop gamers from owning anything.

Said none of those companies.

Listen, all those companies suck, but you don’t have to put words in their mouths, everyone seems extremely positive about Baldur’s Gate, and I would say almost all developer aspire to reach the same breadth and depth as Baldur’s Gate 3 with as much polish as they put on it. There’s a long list of reasons why they can’t or don’t (often publishers… or scope creep… but mostly publishers).

Unless there’s a massive thread of shit talking from other developers that I’m missing, but I’m pretty sure that doesn’t exist.
