From the headline I was hoping some execs fell on their sword but nope. Workers get the shaft and higher-ups keep their job to look after the rest of the business.

As always, its the workers who take the fall for greedy executives.

From Daedalics statement they also gained federal funding as well. So I guess the execs enriched themselves with government funding then got rid of the workers after. Thats much worse.

Oof. This sucks, it seems that if you don’t have an estabilidade name you can’t have bad “AAA” launch nowadays.

Not surprising but still sad, of course the people making the stupid choices dont face the consequences. I feel for the employees

Always sad to witness folks losing their jobs, but I guess we all saw this coming. Here’s hoping they all manage to land on their feet.
That said, I have to wonder what that second game was going to be about. Codename “It’s Magic”, probably something involving Gandalf or another Wizard? 🤔

They were kind of sabotaged. Who thought it would be a good idea to make a game about golumn? Like why not make a game about a hobbit instead if you have to make a LOTR non-violence game?

Yes! A Hobbit farming sim. Imagine getting to design your own hobbit hole and farm? Id buy a game like that.

A 3d srardew valley style game where you play as a Hobbit would be just… Sooooo good. Nice

Deponia was before 2016 and a lot of the people from that time were already gone.
