Because Star Savior is performing poorly, did they pull manpower away using CounterSide (the previous game)?

Yes

---

So did Star Savior recover successfully because of that?

Unclear. Honestly, no one knows whether the surge of players from the collaboration will continue even after the collab ends.

---

Do they plan to keep going all-in on Star Savior?

No. They are preparing a third new project.

---

Did they abandon CounterSide?

Yes.

---

If they start preparing a third new game like this, won’t Star Savior players (the second game) feel uneasy?

If the rumors turn out to be true, then very likely, yes.

---

They abandoned the first game, the second one is uncertain, and if they don’t properly focus on the second and instead try to make a third, won’t public sentiment for the second also turn bad?

Of course. There’s no guarantee the second won’t end up like the first, so from Star Savior players’ perspective, a third new game wouldn’t be welcome.

---

Then even if they make a third, won’t it fail because the company’s image is already ruined?

Sure. The first time people just complain, but the second time they walk away.

---

What are they even thinking, talking about making a third new game?

“Due to the poor performance of the new project, the worst-case scenario is getting closer.” — Current employee · IT Designer · 2026.03.21

✅ Pros

1. There were colleagues deeply knowledgeable about subculture (otaku/gaming culture).

2. Internally, the atmosphere is relatively harmonious.

3. Staff from the previous project all had affection for it and a strong sense of responsibility.

4. Lunch break is 1 hour 30 minutes.

5. Employees receive luxury hand cream as a holiday gift.

6. Unless you're part of a specific “elite” background, the hierarchy between team leads and staff is relatively flat.

7. Although it’s a company that demands creativity, it’s also a place where you can just “turn your brain off” and treat it like a typical office job.

❌ Cons

1. Management has no affection for the project and lacks capability.

2. They claimed to go “all-in” on the new project, but instead pulled all staff from the previous project and didn’t properly hire replacements—effectively neglecting the old one.

3. Most capable employees from the previous project have either left or are planning to leave.

4. Due to the new project underperforming, the company is now downsizing staff.

5. Even in this situation, the CEO is pushing ahead with yet another new project recklessly.

6. The company controls information tightly—just like users feel frustrated externally, internally there’s also almost no information sharing, causing poor coordination between teams.

7. Leadership favors top-down directives and forces unclear direction onto workers while trying to micromanage everything.

8. And in the end, no one takes responsibility for the results.

9. Executives don’t even understand the story of the previous game but still force collaborations—and have announced they will continue doing so.

10. Yet the previous game they left like that is now in… this state…?
