Remember this is the perspective of an employee that left, so obviously they’d feel “everybody” wanted to leave.


I honestly don't know what we'd do without TheColi.com. I was almost starting to believe the testimony of the individual that used to actually work there. Glad you cleared that up.

:whew:

Who do the arkane developers report too?

Microsoft or Zenimax?


This is a case of workers being instructed to do something by management and them hoping upper management comes in and kills the project because they ain't feeling it or don't want to do it.


It's really that simple.


If management is telling upper management that they have some problems but it should be fine then upper management is gonna role with it.


This is why I said they need another group that doesn't have to worry about making MS or devs upset. Basically almost independent that play test and review these games the way they have studios now.


Otherwise this is something that is going to happen more often.
They obviously didn’t even want to make the game according to the article. It actually makes sense why such a prestigious studio laid a turd, when over half your team is uninspired and/or left then we get a shyt game like this

MS getting involved earlier wasn't gonna do a damn thing. Look no further than Halo for the result of their direct involvement.

Yeah, i actaully think it’d be more concerning if this was Arkane putting their best foot forward. Good studios don’t put out incredibly bad games like this for no reason.

I find it crazy they still rolled this thing out to the public. Like some of y’all said they should’ve canned it to minimize losses or push it back to next year. I was actually looking forward to playing this when I get a Xbox
