Embracer kikes mad over Killing floor 3 sales it was a massive flop
>>
>>726033662
good. deserve to die after kicking their founder out for some innocuous pro-life comments on twitter.

Loved RO1, KF1 and RO2/RS, but they've never made anything worthwhile after (and even RO2 at launch was a huge disaster).

Tripwire never made Killing Floor. Some retarded people modding games did, Tripwire hired the modders and thus the IP and then owned the IP after that.
They did the same thing with Maneater too, hilariously by buying the company the creator of Killing floor made...To then enshitten the game lmao.

Embracer still holds the IPs and have them on stores, they get the money directly without needing to share with studios who are already closed ( no royalties for the most part ).
But their catalog is basically games worth 2 dollars or so during sales..they basically do this to piss people off and kill the industry

Indie games, collaborations between indies or small studios pushing out what ever. It's just big companies going down, albeit Tripwire was only a AA company as well. It probably needs to happen for video games to heal and studios focusing on gameplay over monetisation and hook mechanics.

Metal Eden ran like shit because they used UE5 so no wonder it flopped.

All they had to do was to essentially remake KF1

No, you could have had a blast with the game. It's just that the game probably won't become big. Maybe it will go end of service next year.

>>726036446
The problem is, that nobody can articulate what's worse and only falls back to feelings. And nobody would buy "KF1 but 3", again.
Faggots crying for another zombie/horde shooter all fall into the same category of only play that old title, never buying the next one. Same behaviour that can be observed with L4D2 faggots, or arena fps faggots, or rts faggots, or full loot pvp mmo faggots. It's pointless to cater to them. They all cry about developers not catering to them, but will nitpick, bitch and moan the second a game catering to them releases. They will pull all sort of excuses to never give a game a shot.
>>
>>726033819
What game is that?
>>
>>726036375
KF's graphics are dated and not a lot of people play it anymore. It's a game that would actually benefit from a remake to draw in a new crowd.

For one, putting a limit to healing syringes. Removing the limit would quantifiably improve the game.

I had 500 hours on KF and 1000 hours on KF2; didn't like the KF3 demo a single bit because it was a completely different game (basically a worse Darktide, and I already play Darktide).

Nah, fuck him. Keep politics out of video games. If you're gonna be posting on your account as a member of a company, then it better be about the company and its games. You just want to make excuses and call it innocuous because you're on the other end of the horseshoe, but for normal people, that shit is just as cringe as when companies go full fag mode and say "oh it's just a harmless little flag, who cares?"

i never understood why shareholders think that twitter comments and AI generated news articles actually make a dent with normal people who buy shit.

majority of people in the world aren't terminally online, and will generally just buy a sequeal if the OG game is good. if the next game sucks its because the game sucks not because the CEO who is far too removed from the actual game is drumpf or trans or a racist.

JUST MAKE A GOOD GAME YOU DICKS.

Here's the thing, they didn't. They haven't made a good game in fucking years (unless you like Maneater which I honestly did but I'm not going to pretend that it was good instead of just exactly the kind of game I want to play). If I thought the CEO was worth even a quarter of a shit I'd be annoyed that they fired him for a non-job related reason, but he was clearly shit regardless, so fuck him and fuck Tripwire as a whole.

Maybe it's because developers every single time think that gamers want something that is very shiny and "modern" and not something around the level of quality of what they usually like, but with well designed improvements and interesting ideas that expand the concept, but don't stray far from the original identity?
Just a thought.

Killing floor and red orchestra were their only good games, and they were mods of all things. Deciding to release the buggy piece of shit that was red orchestra 2 still pisses me off today. The game immediately lost its audience and only like 2 notable servers with fag admins from the first game run the show. I regretted kf2 and got that refunded immediately and never touched another tripwire product.

They fuck over their community way too much.
