From the headline I was hoping some execs fell on their sword but nope. Workers get the shaft and higher-ups keep their job to look after the rest of the business.
From Daedalics statement they also gained federal funding as well. So I guess the execs enriched themselves with givernment funding then got rid of the workers after. Thats much worse.
They were thinking they'll get their golden parachute regardless of their effort, and the workers will take the fall, just like they did here, so fuck project quality!
Always sad to witness folks losing their jobs, but I guess we all saw this coming. Here's hoping they all manage to land on their feet.
That said, I have to wonder what that second game was going to be about. Codename "It's Magic", probably something involving Gandalf or another Wizard? 🤔
just think of all the money that this game had poured into it....and the failure is why the Embracer Group (THQNordic) is cancelling games and re-prioritizing it's studios.
I'm gonna be livid if my Deus Ex Reboot / 3rd sequel got cancelled because of this...
