    It would be nice if the entire world didn’t consolidate into two mega corps. Good on CDR for having their own vision.
    CP2077 + Phantom Liberty are excellent. I just started a new playthrough. I wish it had released in this shape.

    i think that’s a smart move on their part.

    the CP2077 launch was rocky, but most of their previous games haven’t had that level of hype. The Witcher 3 taking off like it did, gave them the confidence to go bigger. CP2077 is in a great place now, even if it didn’t start that way.

      I’m still sad about Gwent, though. The only reasonably priced CCG I’ve played, with beautiful artwork and fun decks.

      As soon as Marvel Snap dropped, it sucked out whatever remaining air the game had left and even the smaller streamers dropped out of sight.

    They’re almost certainly right.

    Cyberpunk wasn’t received well, but they seem to have No Man’s Sky’d it into some sort of shape since.

      That’s debatable. I’ve had it since launch and while it is certainly more functional now, it’s not any better of a game.

    Good. Not every studio needs to be snatched up by a massive corporation. Embracer’s yearlong meltdown is a great example of how that can end badly.

      Every company that gets bought by another corporation either cranks out a few good games and then dies, or cranks out an okay game and then dies. The eventual outcome is always death.

      Bullfrog, Raven, Westwood Studios, Bioware, Origin, Maxis, Viceral Games, all of them.

    For better or worse we need more developers free from the large gaming companies.
