>Buy our games studio Chud!!
It would be kind of a shame if we didn't get to find out if it's just as shit if not worse than the previous Blade games. But also get fucked.
>>750257594I hope Machine Games gets shutdown next. Or if they're politcally protected.
can they give franchises like this to devs that are actually good at making games with fun gameplay
>>750257594Huh? Blade? Seriously? Did I go back to the 2000s?
>>750257672Why? Indiana Jones was good
>>750257725There was an embarassing Wesley Snipes cameo in the Deadpool X Wolverine movie where he flailed geriatrically with a shitty knife, go figure they're trying to bring it back.
>>750257594>woke BladeJust let it die
>>750257594No Colantonio, no buy.
>>750257594Some motherfuckers always trying to ice skate uphill
>>750257594why not justrelease the game and then fire the devs
>>750257829Kek.
>>750257594I know Microsoft is behind all that but I'm surprised Marvel is just going to let that happen. I would have thought that Blade game was their initiative. I don't expect them to buy Arkane Lyon but I could see them putting pressure to at least let the studio finish the game.
Let it die, its most likely whitey bad shit since thats all black characters get
>>750257948It wouldn't surprise me if Marvel/Disney can and will just take the build off them and give it to someone else to kick out the door, seems like the sort of thing they'd do.
>>750257672Why? They make great games.
>>750257672Not an American company where it is legal for them to layoff people en masse for ideological/profit reasons.So far, the pattern is that they're firing all Americans and none of the countries with actual worker protections. I think Asha tried to layoff MachineGames but couldn't they were in Germany, so they laid off all of US iD instead. That's why we got the Quake expansion from machinegames.
Crowdfunding was the solution to all their problems but these shortsighted retards decided to scam people for short-term gain. Board games are flourishing because of it and the companies that abandoned it like CMON and Asmodee are dead.
>nearly finished>not shown anythingDon't believe you.
>>750257594>bladeThe racist left can't stop destroying good things.
>>750257594Retards shouldn't have done a deal with the devil and made capeshit in the first place. If this was a new dishonored some nostalgic game exec at a publisher would have picked it up
>>750257594>Union repsaren't they employees themselves? who fucking cares you are still getting paid, the longer this shit drags without release the better
>Nearly finished lol
>>750258117The devil is retarded too, they managed to sit on Blade (disney movie) development for several years, fucking up the script like making Blade a bitch and YASS KWEEN slay to replace him. The actor is pissed off for losing opportunities and career.
>>750258140Without unions, you'd be fired en masse. All of the layoffs that happened so far only occurred in the US because they have no worker protections like they do in non-US countries.
>>750258227Bioware was Canadian, retard lol
>>750257948Marvel are massive kikes who dont give a single cent for development but only have creative demands and put restrictions too. Its retarded as fuck. They just license the IP with restrictions and take money not only upfront but also % off every unit sold on top of that. They dont care why would they this is why I think even if Blade is close to be finished its better to just nuke the project due to licensing fees.
>>750257817Hasn't he been working on a not!systemshock for a while now?I was just poking around trying to figure out if there'd been any recent news about it.
>>750258035Board games only need 200 nerds and a few dollars to fund, mid to large budget games need thousand of backers pledging tens if not hundreds of millions to fund. Crowdfunding was only ever useful to tiny indie devs who don't deserve a backer because they have no track record and if they have a track record then they don't need a backer.
>>750258514in alberta, which is right wing canadagermany has stronger worker protections
>>750257594Rest in Piss. The movie is in limbo hell as well.
>>750258603Maybe they should stop spending all that money on making pieces of shit games when it's not really that expensive at all lol
>>750257594Black protagonist=No buyWe will not tolerate WOKE anymore
>>750258019Arkane is based in Lyon anon
>>750257594If it was nearly finished the studio wouldn't be getting shut down and the higher powers would try to at least recoup some money by selling it./=
>>750258227you misunderstood the postI know what unions are needed for, mainly ensuring worker rights and that the contract is respected by both parties etc bla blaI'm saying who cares about the game itself? You are still getting paid for that work, and if the release drags evern longer it's literally better for you, just chill and collect paychecks
>>750259128Even if their studio was leaner they'd still require a few tens of millions
>>750259260If they can release the game the company might survive a bit longer.
>>750258603Yet all these indie video game devs for some reason decided to make and crowdfund a board game and get like $1m minimum. And not just indies, Capcom and Square are getting in on it through licensees.
>>750259364yeah but ultimately they are just told what to do by others so the success of the game doesn't really depend on them, just like the survival of the company (what can you do if a retard shoots himself in the dick with a shotgun multiple times)
>>750258767so why aren't they in germany? really activates the almonds.
>>750259128I dont think you understand how complex and expensive game dev is. Within your own complaint about game devs not utilising crowdfunding you complained about the main reason they can't, people who haven't finished games don't know how to and promising you can do it to thousands of people always ends in tears and claims of being scammed. The people who know how to finish games don't need crowdfunding because they either made a good game that now funds the studio or they have a job making games that cannot be funded by piddly amounts of money on kickstarter.
>>750257594If they actually made something good, why don't they just buy themselves, getting a loan if required? If Microsoft is trying to be niggers and not accepting a fair price, I would assume the government with this stupid law requiring purchase in the first place would also fight against any gouging on the price. Blade is a huge franchise and this game is awaited by a lot of normalfags, I don't see why a bank wouldn't give them an appropriate loan.
>>750259472The board game industry is so dead and small that large corps who have released many games in the past still need to beg to survive. This is why they are able to crowdfund over 1 million because theres a loyal fanbase already. That amount of money is only useful to solo devs and tiny unestablished teams who nobody is going to give 1million dollars to because they have no track record.
>>750257594>Nearly finished>Haven't shown an ounce of gameplayCurious.
>>750259592>Within your own complaint about game devs not utilising crowdfundingI'm not the anon you replied to.
Should American companies be able to close their international subsidiaries?
>>750257594ok, i'll buy.how much?
