I argee with the article’s author that there’s reason to have some concerns about this.
There goes another good studio. RIP.
Just don’t overextend, Remedy. Stay in your niche you dumbasses. Stay unique. No one cares about Firebreak exactly because it is just some lame copycat bullshit.
I didn’t know Firebreak existed (or forgot it). Doesn’t look like anything that makes me want to buy and play. I am not against the idea of the game, its just not exiting (unless you have friends or family who are exited for this). Looks like a forced multiplayer live service game on a developer who are known for interesting single player games… where did we saw that before? (Anthem, Suicide Squad, Marvel’s Avengers, Fallout 76)
Remedy already has lasting value in our hearts you out of touch dork!
same could have been said about Blizzard
Smells cooked to me.
Fuck that shit
‘scale Remedy in a way that builds lasting value’
Checks corpo-speak to English dictionary:
Lasting value is cash: Scale plan: First down, drastically, then bisect as many times as possible, then sell off the chunks to the highest bidders.
This is the TRUE American Nightmare. Rest in peace, Mr. Wake.
Remedy is cooked.
Well that’s an ominous headline if ever I saw one.
I never understood why Remedy got publicly traded.
Well hopefully at least we’ll get one more good game out of them with Control 2. Maybe also the Max Payne remake. Hopefully they’re too far along for Mr. Shareholder Speak to fuck it up. But I guess we’ll see.
All my dreams for Control 2 just went up in smoke
Control 2 should hopefully be fine as the CEO is new and it is scheduled for the first half of the year (They told investors 2026H1 and no one would lie to investors /s). Not so sure about anything else.
Barely enough time left to add some microtransactions
Control 2026. Control 2027. Control 2028
Nah. It’ll be an online hero shooter.
i hate capitalism. so very, very much.
I predict a Control gacha game.
A 50/50 soft pity at 100 pulls, with hard pity at 200. Pull your favorite Control character on the limited banner! Note the limited banner character won’t transfer to standard once the banner ends. Pity also will not carry over.
