    This just proves there’s no added value in studios being bought up by bigger studios like EA and the like.

    • buy the small studio,
    • get the IP,
    • dont do anything with the IP,
    • fire everyone in tiny studio to “save costs” ( read: send more money to shareholders )
    • ???

    The people working the smaller studios deserve more and better. I dont know about the others. But HiFi rush had great reviews IIRC.

    Edit: I may very well just be salty.

      This is the way capitalism deals with competition. You don’t get better, you simply buy whoever poses a threat to your business and you just shut it down.

      I don’t think you’re salty, HFR has millions of units sold and is pretty highly rated. It’s insane they would simply close the entire studio, it definitely reeks of “make number go up.” Especially since they seemingly didn’t give any real reason.

      These changes are grounded in prioritizing high-impact titles and further investing in Bethesda’s portfolio of blockbuster games

      By shit-canning the whole teams behind these properties?? Yeah okay…
