Soft layoffs? These companies deserve to fail if they thought that was a good idea.
Tell your employees the company is in trouble, and then make a blanket offer to staff to voluntarily exit the company for small compensation? You know who’s going to take that deal? The people who have been in the industry long enough to not look a gift horse in the mouth. Who does that leave you with?
I don’t think it will ever fizzle out. It’s an amazing game with a simple premise.
I do worry that the desire to not let a game be done could lead to burnout from the audience though. I left minecraft behind because every update added less and less of substance, and asked me to come back and do something that didn’t really enhance the experience of my “completed” survival world.
I understand that minecraft has not slipped in popularity for the masses, but for me it’s enough of a pain that I don’t play any more.
Stardew Valley is great, and the updates we have received add a lot of content to the game, but it’s all stuff that makes an 11/10 game… still an 11/10. I would love the effort to go into Haunted Chocolatier, or other great projects.
But did either of those boomers floss over the corpses of their enemies while huffing insane amounts of galaxy gas, then say “The names Toilet. Skibidi Toilet”. This could be the shot in the arm that the James Bond franchise needed!
I feel like my understanding of today’s youth is in on par with the average game publisher. And for that reason I am not anticipating this game.
If I can mow down Arab and Russians and Chinese soldiers in any number of American video games, why not Israelis?
The article talks about gushing blood and gruesome visuals as if CoD didn’t ask us to commit a terrorist attack in an airport 15 years ago. At least this game narrows your targets to IDF soldiers, according to the article.
Also, the game historically has had ~25 concurrent players at any given time. I don’t think this game is as important as certain people would want you to believe.
