Also, I never played their first game, Blood (1997). BUT I have a vivid memory of a LAN party where I watched a friend play at 5 o'clock in the morning. 🥰

It's also, in a way, the end of an era I loved so much.

And if you're asking, it's confirmed by Warner Games:

"We have had to make some very difficult decisions to structure our development studios and investments around building the best games possible with our key franchises—Harry Potter, Mortal Kombat, DC and Game of Thrones."

Frak you.

"But Warner's been struggling lately, taking a $200 million loss on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and another $100 million writedown driven primarily by the failure of Multiversus."

AND WHO TOLD ROCKSTEADY NOT TO DO WHAT THEY DID SO WELL, AND SO LOST SO MUCH MONEY??

That would be the people who won't see consequences for the shit decisions and will just make more of them

I'm sick and tired of this system that rewards nonsense and punishes those who create.

"These decisions come from people whose job it is to make good decisions. And these decisions are bad."

I have the dream that before I die somebody will put Paradise Lost on screen with LOTR-level production values and a Villeneuve-grade script. It’s in the public domain, it’s a classic, it has amazing imagery… why isn’t this being considered?

capitalism?

marcmck.bsky.social•5 days ago

More like unregulated capitalism....

And of course continued disrespect for artists of every stripe.

It's.... yeah. Everyone gets it by now. Some CEO gets a meeting with some douchebag strategist, tells the developers they need to pivot to NFTs or whatever the fuck and then when it flops, they conclude I guess either the series isn't popular or the studio is a dud.

Genuinely convinced at this point that WB is a money laundering operation. They only seem to cancel and close things across all divisions (even more than the other usual suspects)

A lot of writing off...

Blood is the best of the Build Engine boomer shooters.

SHOGO!! I still remember having fun with that game.
