  “Accelerate growth” - business jargon for “enshittification.”

    Get your bingo cards out. Microtransactions, super mega ultra deluxe editions, account requirement, Denuvo, platform exclusivity

      Pointing out platform exclusivity is hilarious, considering

  They’re done. I hope their devs can find better employment elsewhere.

  Fuck growth for its own sake. Let’s stop this cancer cell mentality. Sustainability’s where it’s at.

  Wow. That is a shame. Accelerate growth by probably sucking all the soul out of the studio.

  That’s so disappointing. I loved their games. 🥺

  Gotta admit, I don’t really play many Remedy games. While the settings and art may be good the gameplay is always kinda boring. I remember when Alan Wake was being developed and there was an insane amount of hype around it but when it came out it was just kind of boring to play. I haven’t finished it to this day. I heard Alan Wake 2 is really good but I just wasn’t going to play it without finishing the first one
