I dont mind soulless cash guzzling corporations that corrupted our favourite IPs for years, to go down in flames... its the idea of the characters, stories & games never being explored again due to said companies avarice, that buns me out. 😔
Sandy Petersen, the designer of Doom, Quake, Call of Cthulhu, and Age of Empires, responding on social media to fans asking how to save Blizzard:
"We don't need to save Blizzard. We didn't need to save Microsoft or id Software or Ensemble Studios or Atari. We don't need to save ANY game company. If they die, they die. They will be replaced with new, likely superior game companies. Gaming continues."
The man who helped build the foundations of modern gaming says let the industry's legacy studios die. Is he right?
