    Creating a game studio, because you are a huge corporation with unlimited money doesn’t guarantee success. Just look at Amazon game studios for example.

      I bet he’s banking on marketing the games as “anti-woke” and getting the MAGA crowd to buy them to own the libs.

        Its like every week a new episode of black mirror script is coming to life.

        I know games as propaganda exist in some shape and form already, but imagine what could a selfish man-child with all the money in the world do to the game industry to bring his “vision” to life.

          Punching nazis is a game, more or less, but that’s about as political as a game should get imo.

        EA actually got rich making decent games before their (very early!) foray into enshittification. Can you imagine they went 10 years without yearly EA Sports crap?

        Similarly, Ubisoft (then Ubi Soft) used to put out pretty good ones.

        Looks like money spoils people.

          Out of touch, money-focused execs ruin everything. Especially when you have to keep the investors and shareholders happy.

            Exactly. You have buyouts that replace creatives with business people and the good developers leave to start another company.
