Dono how I feel with everwild, love the art though, seems like it could have some very deep lore/world-building. I got avatar the last air bender vibes from it.

But the only worry I got from perfect dark (note it’s not a series I’ve liked or played) is what could happen to the dev team. I fear for they’re only safe whilst they make said game. Otherwise they’d have been purged of devs or axed completely.

They’re a great studio, and I’m sure they’re getting help from other Xbox devs like The Coalition, which could be a reason why we haven’t heard anything from TC (they could be spread too thin with all the studios they’re helping).

Well, they were using Crystal Dynamics from The Embracer Group, which we all know how well Embracer is doing. It's been 2 years since The Initiative has posted a tweet. And it has been since 2021 since MS talked about the game.

They're in the cocoon metamorphosing into the industry's first AAAAA games studio, since quadruple A just didn't cut it.

Don't bring your Saint Rows 2022 politically correct s*** into it.

I don’t think that’s how it works as a support studio. That’s like letting the accounting department develop the visuals in NetSuite…

Well square Enix let the busker outsold do their monetary projections.

And Embracer Group took financial advice from former Enron employees.
