Just don’t overextend, Remedy. Stay in your niche you dumbasses. Stay unique. No one cares about Firebreak exactly because it is just some lame copycat bullshit.
I didn’t know Firebreak existed (or forgot it). Doesn’t look like anything that makes me want to buy and play. I am not against the idea of the game, its just not exiting (unless you have friends or family who are exited for this). Looks like a forced multiplayer live service game on a developer who are known for interesting single player games… where did we saw that before? (Anthem, Suicide Squad, Marvel’s Avengers, Fallout 76)
Well hopefully at least we’ll get one more good game out of them with Control 2. Maybe also the Max Payne remake. Hopefully they’re too far along for Mr. Shareholder Speak to fuck it up. But I guess we’ll see.
Control 2 should hopefully be fine as the CEO is new and it is scheduled for the first half of the year (They told investors 2026H1 and no one would lie to investors /s). Not so sure about anything else.

Well that’s an ominous headline if ever I saw one.
Fuck that shit
There goes another good studio. RIP.

This is the TRUE American Nightmare. Rest in peace, Mr. Wake.
Smells cooked to me.
‘scale Remedy in a way that builds lasting value’
Checks corpo-speak to English dictionary:
Lasting value is cash: Scale plan: First down, drastically, then bisect as many times as possible, then sell off the chunks to the highest bidders.
RIP, thanks for the fun.
Remedy is cooked.

I never understood why Remedy got publicly traded.
Remedy already has lasting value in our hearts you out of touch dork!
same could have been said about Blizzard
All my dreams for Control 2 just went up in smoke
Control 2 should hopefully be fine as the CEO is new and it is scheduled for the first half of the year (They told investors 2026H1 and no one would lie to investors /s). Not so sure about anything else.
Barely enough time left to add some microtransactions
Control 2026. Control 2027. Control 2028
