Lmao I just read the news wtf happened

>>713906425 (OP)
something to do with hytale

>>713906425 (OP)
Original guy in charge of the studio stepped away, put a guy in charge that ended up having zero confidence, who over the next few years hired a dozen different AAA industry producers that drove the game off a cliff.

>>713906425 (OP)
God fucking damn this game looks ugly

>>713906425 (OP)
>hey would kids buy this game that is basically minecraft with mods but runs worse than minecraft or roblox?
>no
that's what happened

>>713906425 (OP)
They were porting the game to a new engine and starting over and having massive issues having the systems they had in place in the new engine. They realized it wouldn't work out and would take years more, so they gave up

>>713906425 (OP)
They spent 10 years developing a game, starting over from scratch twice, then got shitcanned for wasting hundreds of millions of dollars

>>713906425 (OP)
>get bought by riot
>riot brings in DEI triple A producers who demand the game get remade with "industry standard" design
>they then completely start over, amounting to nothing

>Hytale dies
>Fucking retard dev of Vintage Story wants to hire the cancer team behind Hytale
I like VS but fucking hell Tyron is such a stupid dumbass

>>713910465
Nothing was actually wrong with the old engine, they swapped engines because retarded producers pushed for a simultaneous multiplatform launch which was impossible with what they already had.

>>713910673
Riot didn't bring in the retarded AAA producers, Noxy did.

>Original guy in charge of the studio stepped away
You could say he "hytale"d out of there!

>>713906425 (OP)
The Hypixel guys basically grfited millions from Riot over 7 years while doing fuckall.
Riot eventually noticed and told them to get the fuck out.

This may not be bad thing if he tardwrangles them.

>>713913182
>hiring the team that didn't do shit in 7 years
>not be a bad thing
and don't get me started with the stupid shit that Tyron does

>>713909094
Why was Riot ok with this?

this game had 0 gameplay footage and they somehow managed to hype it up in the minecraft community enough to reap donations and eventually convinced riot to buy them out despite have jack shit to show for it. A move so incompetent that they had to disguise it as "redevelopment" because there was approximately 0 actual game to speak of. It never existed, it was never going to exist.

The other move was to pul la microsoft and actually take someone who developed a game only to make them do absolutely nothing.
