Between alan wake 2 barely breaking even and fbc firebreak flopping hard, I can see why they would change the CEO. hopefully this doesn't compromise the actual games in the future to try and get more money

    AW2 was incredible, but I knew it wouldn't do well when I played it, because it's too niche. I love the Weird Fiction universe they're building, but it's just not pulling the Resident Evil audience.

    Firebreak I think was their attempt to monetize the IP, but oof, it's just not fun. I feel like they could have gone more "friend slop" in tone and been much more successful. Imagine a game loop like Repo or Lethal Company, but set in the Oldest House, interacting with weird, goofy phenomena. Instead it's a very dry shooting experience wrapped in a very dry upgrade system. I want to support them, but it feels like work to play this game...

    Alan Wake 2 sold like shit because no physical release on launch for console and it's still only available on Epic Games Store for PC. I refused to buy it until the physical release came out. Good game by the way.
