I don’t view these as a negative. So many of these studios over hire, lose money like crazy, keep pushing release dates back and then eventually rush out an unfinished product they had been half arse working on all along.

You’re seeing that with the development team of Kerbal Space Program 2. That whole studio is getting axed because for 5 YEARS they promised the world and release teasers once or twice a year. Then their parent company told them a hard release date, the developers panicked and rushed out a half developed (being generous) game.
Those frick sticks sat on their lazy asses for 5 years and kept pushing the release day back using “Covid” as an excuse even into 2023.

Rocksteady is done.

Ninja Theory is done (Founder already left and Hellblade 2 took like 5 years to make and is shaping up to be another 6hr gamepass game. Also getting 0 marketing from MS. Game comes out in 2 weeks and I had no idea).

Avowed better be an Elder Scrolls level hit or Obsidian will be absorbed into a BethSoft support studio

343 and Coalition should be done with how they butchered their franchises, but they're somehow still around




We're seeing the same contraction that the movie industry has been going through. Games are insanely expensive to make, so publishers are consolidating resources into the development of blockbuster, guaranteed hits.
