This is how business works in silicon valley now. A journalist describes it as the "rot economy" and its spread to other businesses. American companies no longer want to compete, they want to buy their rivals then strip them for parts and continue to consolidate power until they've successfully created a monopoly.

It's not a coincidence that employees start jumping ship as soon as the studio is acquired. They know what's coming next. The studio isn't really what's being bought, it's the IP it produces. They don't care about the people working there.

We are working to finalize details for the Redfall credit program. This article will be updated as new information becomes available shortly.

seems this was really was a last minute thing, since they didn't even have a plan. with some foresight, they could have pushed out something before announcing the studio is closing

Meanwhile there are still aren't thread made on some studios shut down by Sony.

Man, ES6 needs to be fast tracked and it better be good. If they use that same washed up engine, oh boy.

Don’t throw us into gold fever gambits, don’t use us as strawmen for miscalculations/blind spots, don’t make our work environments darwinist jungles. You say we make you proud when we make a good game. Make us proud when times are tough. We know you can, we seen it before.
