Makes sense. If those reports about Eclipse not coming out until 2027 are true (which STILL sounds absolutely fukking absurd), that'd be nine years between releases. I don't know of many independent studios that can get away with that.

Sony should have picked them up YEARS ago.

They make great games, don’t care what anyone says.

Detroit is one of my all time favorites. Beautiful game.

Quantic Dream has had its fair share of controversy these past several years following allegations of workplace issues, including sexual harassment, crunch, and toxic work culture. These issues have reportedly created a hiring problem for the studio, with my investigation at Xfire showing that the studio has had several job openings for well over two years that are still active.

And David Cage talks like this:

Speaking to Le Monde, Cage said: "You want to talk homophobia? We work with Ellen Page who is fighting for LGBT right. You want to talk racism? We are working with Jesse Williams on civil rights in the USA. Judge my work."
