A day after Bioware was shut down, another major game studio is facing collapse - Arkane Studios is on the chopping block:

https://www.polygon.com/arkane-studios-potential-closure-november-2026-microsoft/

The studio behind blockbuster games like the Dishonored series, Prey, Arx Fatalis, Dark Messiah and others will shut down in 3 weeks unless a buyer can be found. Game developer Don't Nod (Life Is Strange, Lost Records, etc.) has also announced that its operating capital will run out by January without an outside investor.

Is the gaming industry declining due to 'AI,' or is something else going on?

its declining because the games SUCK.
nobody wants to play a game where they get bossed around by a brown shitskin girlboss and this is literally every game now.
they also shove in tranny shit and gay shit and all kinds of other political crap that has nothing to do with gameplay.
people wanna play games, not get an education about tranny pronouns.
>>
>>544819328
they are just not making games for mysoginist pig cis scum anymore
and the new target audience has not realized that they are the target audience
its a travesty
>>
>>544819052
Those are all shit games, so im fine with this.
Bioware makes me sad tho :(
>>
>>544819052
They made based games. Of course it Niggerloop was their fatal mistake. But making games with negro main character won't help you with sales.
>>
>Prey was 9 years ago
no fucking wonder
>>
>>544819052
Arx Fatalis was fucking excellent but the rest, eh
>>
>>544819052
>noo muh niggerloving tranny games
>>
>>544822506


>Niggerloop was their fatal mistake
They released Brownfall after that.
But Death of the Outsider was already woke dogshit as a result of the studio director hiring a Trump deranged English major cat lady off twitter to be the lead writer.

i really like these near trash console titles. some gems in there (prey) but mostly just garbage.
miss the days when you could get them at gamestop for $5 a disk and never play them

>But Death of the Outsider was already woke dogshit as a result of the studio director hiring a Trump deranged English major cat lady off twitter to be the lead writer.
She's now the lead writer on Cyberpunk 2 even though that Dishonored negress dlc's story was specifically hated by gamers.
>>
Dishonored was great. But it was also the same game three times
>Dishonored
>Dishonored with more abilities
>Dishonored with fewer abilities but more stamina
everything else was the same

maybe that's OK, though? We don;t need to always be chasing better graphics, different systems. If something's good, keep doing it, that makes sense to me.
>>
>>544821722
The original Dishonored is one of the best-reviewed games of all-time. It was basically Assassin's Creed, but for adults.
>>
>>544820939
So, the mystery meat faggot community doesn't like these games either?

Just like bioware and 99% of other legacy studios that have been shuttered, the actual creatives and writers and modelers and such that ACTUALLY made all of those great games long ago are no longer involved, so the woke trannies that ended up sinking them did NOT make and are NOT responsible for the beloved works of art of the past. Just like everything else they touch, they run it so far into the ground and shit it up so badly that they end up destroying it and killing it permanently.
>>
>>544821722
Arx Fatalis, Dishonored, and Prey are all great
>>
>>544819052
damn wtf. I haven't played any of those games, but I've heard good things about all of them except Redfall

Shame. Many of those games are fun in their own niche but they lack a wider appeal. If I recall, Arkane has been in trouble before as well.

Self-checking because I hate faggits like that.

>>544819052
I've never heard of this company or any of these games.
>>
>>544822704
Yes. Outsider was disgusting. Game itself was fine. But they force you to look at negro on main menu. Otherwise you could ignore it because it is fps anyway. But if they would make white game after that people would move on. Instead they have 2 negros in Niggerloop. Soon there will be no AAA game worth playing.

Really not much good there. GTA6 is going to be a blood bath, they know it's bad and they have a massive turd on their hands.

Oh no, not another studio that last made a good game when Obama was president!
Anyway...
Don't forget to do the menial chore you've been meaning to get to.

That's a shame. Prey and both Dishonored games are honestly some of the best games ever made.

Dishonored and Prey are GOATED and KINO

>>544821722
I enjoyed Prey, sort of had the same feel as Alien Isolation and lots of gameplay. I never played Dishonered but it’s one the highest rated games in the last 20 years.
>>
>>544821722
Baldur's gate won a super made for 1998 a 1997 there was final fantasy 7 in 1999 there was the far superior dungeons and dragons game that mogged in every single way story-wise graphic wise gameplay wise planescape torment. If Baldurs had come out in 1995 it still would have been mogged by the production values of games like command and conquer. It's an ugly shitty game. I enjoyed the Nintendo D&D game more then ball gag 1.

I don’t know anything about Arkane so you could be right. I know BioWare was acquired by EA so seeing them close it down is bitter sweet.

no wonder the whole station was a fucking disaster.
(prey 2006 was infinitely better holy shit that game was good - not made by arkane)

A female character that’s anything but a side-character is enough for me to not play your game. Or watch your tv show. Actually, looking at that fag from that fag show in your picrel, Any hint of leftism and I’m out.

now be fair mickey, we all loved lara croft in the 90's.

Dishonored is a real sha—
>they niggeressfied it too
HOW? WHY?

anyway regarding bioware r.i.p. in pieces faggots, all the og's fucked off a long time ago.
me1 was brilliant
me2 was fine (never talk to jacob and always send him into the vent ftw)
me3 was an hallucination, an awful fever dream
and everything after does not exist.

it baffles me when people act excited for a sequel to a beloved game/series after all the original people have left.
example: a new fable? if that loony molyneux isn't at the helm with his original team of spergs in tellytubby-land (guildford, went there 20+ years ago) it will never, ever have the same soul (fable tlc is the only one that counts anyway, good lord 3 was absolute shit. never played 2 due to being xbawx exclusive).

if you don't have the og's it's just shitty fanfic.
>>
>>544819052
You can point the decline with Dishonored Death of the Outsider.
I don't know why Prey is before Dishonored, it was released four months earlier.
>>
>>544829303
did you not play #2?
keep it that way if so, just remember #1 fondly and pretend any dishonoured after it doesn't exist.

>Is the gaming industry declining due to 'AI,' or is something else going on?
It's another studio that's gone damn near a decade since it's last remotely financial successful or fan acclaimed entry who probably has nobody left working there from its "golden age." The last Arkane game I can recall that had great sales and great fan regard is the original Dishonored which came out almost 15 fucking years ago. You know what game console was launching in the US 15 years before Dishonored released? The Nintendo fucking 64. At a certain point you've got to cut your losses with these skinsuits being puppeted around. It's blatantly obvious most studios with recognizable names in current year + 11 are 99% their name and the devs are low quality interchangeable glorified interns fucking around.

these niggers, faggots and women in modern games are being pushed deliberately, its enemy action by activists.

There will not be anymore benefit of the doubt.

Good. This is a healing. This shitty image doesn't even have their best game shown on it.
Realistically, Japan /is/ the entire video game industry. Japan started the video game industry, westoid shit was good in the 90's and up until about 2007, and then Japan regained its rightful place since. Let the west die.

Arkane never made a good game. I am surprised they are still alive, they got even worse and more irrelevant after Microsoft bought them
