There reaches a point with vaporware projects where it’s like, actually release something or I don’t care anymore, it doesn’t deserve to keep getting press
Conversely, lack of proper management is also an issue on a lot of videogames projects. Probably has never happened at Ubisoft but I’ve seen it firsthand in small studios
Clear and strict management would get this game out the door. Instead, it was Michel’s pet project and the company protected him from their and his worst impulses, AND sexual harassment claims.
Beyond Good and Evil was a masterpiece, and a sequel will never be.
Is that the one where you’re a god and you have a giant monkey pet and you can teach it to take care of villagers and slap the monkey if it gets out of line

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.
The article seems to say that “passionate” is code for “toxic”.
Yeah it means things got pretty heated
At this point, if BG&E2 ever comes out, it’s gonna be like a repeat of Duke Nukem Forever.
Does that mean that sometime 11 years later, an earlier prototype will leak in a mostly complete state and the community will finish it up?
Because Duke Nukem Forever 2001 is better than ever.
