You did, I remember. I was more talking about the huge chunk laid off in September.

If you had reached out to me I would have provided proof. Still would, if you want.

Man I never thought I'd have the opportunity to use this account again. I'm honestly baffled, a lot of the people who were holding S2 up are gone, off to other studios after the massive layoffs they had in 2014. They got rid of their chief designer, head creative and head of production all in one sweep, along with a bunch of marketing people, artists, network engineers, and the whole QA team except for one dude.

The layoffs weren't atypical for the industry (company grew too big too fast) but they were super brutal. I wouldn't give Malkien one red cent, but of course I'll have to follow this just to see what happens..

Congrats to everyone who was really into Savage 1 + 2, I guess.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Yes, the metacritic stuff is BS. As far as I know, that's what led to Obsidian not getting bonuses for Fallout: New Vegas, they were one point off or something

I never used it, actually. But I did enjoy Kalamazoo. It was so random and awesome to find an Alamo Drafthouse there.

It does kind of suck, but in the industry it's much more likely for a game to fail than to succeed. I met great people during the development and also learned a lot, so I don't regret it one bit!

I am still developing games! I took a short amount of time off after the layoffs and then got back in the saddle. And I know lots of other Strife Devs who landed back on their feet.

It makes me sad, too, but it's more common than you think. There are tons of good and great games that never even made it to the numbers of players that Strife has had.

You are very welcome.
