Ok. Unfortunately it sounds like you’re asking me to stop liking a studio that I like, based on speculation about how a future title of theirs might work. That’s not an actionable argument.

Nothing about a multiplayer title requires it be made in a way that will break whenever the official servers go down. You are assuming this one will work that way, and I’ll grant you it likely will.

But the change we both want isn’t going to come from voting with our wallets, but even harder.

It’ll come from something like this.

We know one of their WIP titles is a PvE multiplayer game set in their connected universe. Aside from that, nothing more is known, except for your generic corporate “we’re excited about our future projects with Remedy” statements from 505.

I’d be very suprised if Remedy turns around and makes it overtly exploitative.

Extremely unlikely. AW2 was funded by Epic, not just paid off to be a timed exclusive like Control (which was published by 505).

That means Epic decides where it gets distributed.

It’s published by Epic (Control was published by 505). Unless Epic significantly compromises on their insistence of pushing the Epic store, it wont happen.

Ever.

They wont.

Remedy games have been “underperforming” despite rave reviews for a while. Yet they’ve been chugging along doing what they think is neat, instead of caving into the current money-making models.

And in this case, the Epic partnership definitely hurt the game. And they know it did. Before AW2, it was microsoft putting the breaks of Quantum Break despite it being great.

Control was the first time since Max Payne I felt they truly achieved the success that their level of quality deserves (and even then it was a timed epic exclusive).

Now Remedy has set themselves up to finally self-publish the follow-up to Control. I can’t wait.

Remedy has fans, but something always seems to get in the way.

Wait until you find out about the child labour stuff.

There may not be sweatshops in the developed world, but you can bet your ass a lot of roblox “dev studios” are really just one or two adults, exploiting a bunch of kids for free labour via discord.

Oh, and then there’s the fully integrated speculative market for assets and cosmetics, where ten-year-olds gain and lose thousands of real dollars in robux.

The ecosystem around Roblox is a complete shitshow that no sane parent should allow a kid anywhere near.

Heroic gets a lot closer in this regard.

Remember when they said Galaxy would get linux support? That didn’t happen, and that promise got quietly retracted…

That said, Heroic is unofficial but has worked quite well.

It wasn’t for me, either, but I’m fairly certain the point of Goat Simulator is that there isn’t one.
