Remedy writes down $17m as FBC: Firebreak continues to disappoint

Finnish games firm Remedy has written down €14.9 million ($17.3 million).

In a profit warning note to investors, the company said that this non-capital impairment represents "a majority" of the development costs, publishing and distribution rights for FBC: Firebreak.

As a result, Remedy has revised its forecasts for the full financial year; while it still expects revenue to increase year-on-year, the company now believes that its operating profit will take a dive and will, in fact, be negative.

FBC Firebreak launched in June of this year and had a rather weak release, by Remedy's own admission. Since the company has made several additions to the game, including a major update called Breakpoint that came out in September, but this appears to have done little to bolster its sales.

“Remedy is recognising a non-cash impairment of capitalised development costs and allocated purchased publishing and distribution rights related to FBC: Firebreak," Remedy CEO Tero Virtala said.

"While we balance future investments to the title, we continue developing and improving the game in line with our updated long-term sales forecast."

i've never even heard of firebreak

>>723148476 (OP)

>>723148476 (OP)
well Firebreak's launch was almost as bad KF3's. It has only 6 levels with very less enemy variety, the weapons feel like wet farts and there are very few of them. Funny thing is that it is not even early access.

Bump for relevant news.

>Impairment
Just write that shit off permanently

people say that public traded companies sacrifice artistic integrity for profit, yet they keep losing money for their vision, however wrong you might think it is

remedy is one of the few companies i am 100% sure about will be bought out immediately if they ever face bankruptcy, they make their games for crazy low amounts compared to other AAA devs

In fact i am pretty confident sony already made an offer for them years ago but remedy declined at the time

>>723148476 (OP)
I hope MP remake flops and kills them
Remedy turned itself into a quirkslop factory that's now intent on raping its only good franchise
Wouldn't be surprised if they turn Max into some shitty side event of their slopverse that covers all their recent games

>>723154781
>people say that public traded companies sacrifice artistic integrity for profit
publicly traded companies don't give a shit about profits and haven't since the 80s, that's the problem. companies being motivated by net profit or positive cash flow produces good results for society as demonstrated over the last 300 years, however currently companies are motivated primarily by share valuation. You don't need to make any money from your business operations as long as the market keeps injecting money into your failing business, e.g. Tesla

>“Remedy is recognising a non-cash impairment of capitalised development costs and allocated purchased publishing and distribution rights related to FBC: Firebreak," Remedy CEO Tero Virtala said.
non-cash impairment sounds like players just didn't like the game? and they either bought FBC or are considering selling it?

>"While we balance future investments to the title, we continue developing and improving the game in line with our updated long-term sales forecast."
they are re-evaluating(scaling down) future investments into the game and lowering their sales forecast?

not a big deal. i'm sure investors were demanding they try to do some multiplayer slop so spending 15 mil on a game like that and using that to basically wipe out your tax bill for the year is the smart way to go about it.

Thats kinda sad.
Firebreak looked fun. I couldn't get my IRL friends to play it, so I never did, but it looked like a good time.
Was it just a case of yet another coop shooter in an already saturated market, or was it actually bad?

I'm one of the five Firebreak fans on the planet. It's fun. But not $40 fun.

Like 80% of the reasons for Control being good was launch. You'd think they'd realize Removing the fun superpowers would be a bad move

>>723148476 (OP)
The reason why Remedy is so upfront about it is because they're required by law to make their profits and earnings public. They can't lie about it the same way companies like Ubisoft could to their investors, because the hard numbers are posted in public finnish company information charts. All you need to do is google search "Remedy yritystiedot" (company info) and you get multiple finnish sites posting the numbers:

https://www.finder.fi/Tietokonepelit+ja+pelikonsolit/Remedy+Entertainment+Oy/Espoo/yhteystiedot/172754

I don't feel sad for them whatsoever, nobody forced them to side with californian rainbow hairs and start hiring HR department freaks from Silicon Valley. Plenty of good and cheaper developers they could've hired from Finland, Estonia, Norway or even Sweden but they refused.

>>723148476 (OP)
What the hell is Firebreak? First time hearing of it

i do not care about this larp thread

>>723162740
Dude Firewatch is like from 2015

>>723163405
Its a little experimental coop class based shooter they made and set in the Control universe. Like L4D.
It looked kinda neat but largely flew under the radar. It also apparently is pretty barebones with not a lot of weapons or missions available so even the people that did hear about it didn't stick around and play it for long.

>>723163134
>Like 80% of the reasons for Control being good was launch
more like the weapons were so anemic that you had to rely on launch. the ability itself was pretty standard fare, half life 2 did it much better with the gravity gun 20 years prior

Not an argument. Suicide Squad kept going after it's failure so guess it was a success by your logic.

Launch was OP in Control. The guns were about what you'd expect, but Launching shit was simply far more damage than shooting shit.

>>723163463
thats not how it works. all their projects and games were already funded by the publisher and investors months if not years ago. they and sam lake personally dont get to keep all that money.

>>723164237
so they get to make games still and then those games make profits and then what. are they meant to die after max payne sells a shit load because they put a black chick in a game or what.

>>723164348
>then those games make profits and then what.
if the investors dont get twice the money they gave them its over, there will be lay offs.

I really don't know what they were thinking with it.
A AAA multiplayer SCP game could have been interesting but they basically made a zombie wave shooter with no variety whatsoever. You play the same 6 scenarios over and over again. Fight all the same enemies. Everything looks samey.
My initial assumption that it was a cheap asset flip that reused a bunch of Control/Alan Wake 2 stuff just to gain a quick profit but from the sounds of it it actually wasn't cheap to make at all.

I played it with friends on gamepass and all three of us were bored within a couple hours.

>>723164436
I hate that almost 20 million dollar game is cheap these days. expedition 33 was under 40 and it sold over 5 million copies.

>>723163463
Remedy designs their games around long term sales projections and not immediate return. They keep enough funding on hand to survive the 1-2 years it'll take for their games to become profitable.

>>723148476 (OP)

Alan Wake 2 is a great game and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

>>723164793
But there's a niggress in it who makes my penis hard so it's woke or some shit.

>>723164436
From some of the material they put out prior to release it sounds like it was an experiment or challenge for the studio to try something very different from what they'd done in the past.
And it sounds like they succeeded in a lot of ways. The biggest complaint I've seen about FBC is lack of variety and content. Which means people are saying they just want more stuff, not that the stuff in it was necessarily bad.

>>723164776
She's just got an ugly ass face man. If she looked like Sheva I wouldn't be complaining. When your other character is Alan Wake himself it's hard to swap back to his ugly old woman.

>>723164793

>>723164901

>>723164887
Yeah like I said I think there is a lot of potential for a big budget SCP game. But I think starting off with a wave based shooter as your fundamental gameplay loop is probably not what you'd want. I would be trying to lean more into horror and exploration than what it currently is, personally.

>>723165031
Shes' not really any of those things but okay. There is like one line in the entire game spoken by her evil doppelganger where she mentions race.

>>723148476 (OP)
alan wake 2 was such a laughably bad game. it was also miserable boring to slog through until i gave up after a few hours. now i never really liked the first game, but holy fuck atleast it knew it was a video game.

Still don't know why in the fuck they made firebreak instead of just speeding development along for the Payne remakes and Control 2

>>723148476 (OP)
The fuck does a "write down" mean?

>>723163463
Toxic positivity

>>723165174
I'm guessing they thought neither Payne or Control 2 weren't going to make 2025 no matter what they did so they decided to make a quick game to fill the gap.

Now what they should've done is release Payne 1 in 2025 and Payne 2 in 2026 but whatever.

>>723165156
>There is like one line in the entire game spoken by her evil doppelganger where she mentions race.
nta, but the fact that its in the game at all...

They're going to be acquired by Tencent. The writing is on the wall.

Why does Sam Lake appear in their games, is he a narcissist

>>723165382
I doubt it. The studio is Lake's. Maybe they would do a 49%/51% split but there is no world where Sam gives up creative control.

you play as Alan for more than half the game and his half is the better half too

Imagine how much faster AW2 would've been profitable if Epic had released the game on Steam...

Alan Wake 2 is a good game spoiled by forcing you to play as a fucking nigger, it's such a shame.

Terrible name for a game but the actual game is even worse.

>>723164793
I played it (pirated, I don't want to use EGS) and it's really not. The gameplay is mediocre at best, I only finished it because I was interested in the story. Alan Wake 1 had more fun gameplay.

>>723163463

Posts like this remind me that /v/ is retarded and the western side of this board is genuinely financially illiterate.
The retards posting shit like this are the same dumbfucks who'll be here complaining next year when they announce layoffs or announce that they're selling another half of the company to Tencent or the Saudis or some shit.

>>723165734
Certain schizos will make it impossible to talk about certain things on /v/ because they have a chip on their shoulder. Alan Wake 2 featuring a black person was apparently enough to have at least one retard swear eternal vendetta against Remedy so we will never have real discussion about any of their games ever again

>>723165734
>>Alan wake 2 is profitable
it took 2 years to break even

>>723165701
Remedy is heavily subsidized by the Finnish government.
And their real value from an investor POV is honestly the Northlight engine.
It's one of the best game engines in the industry and mogs Unity/Unreal.

>>723165925
>It's one of the best game engines in the industry and mogs Unity/Unreal.
Then why are the games so terrible?

you all remedy trannies forget that microsoft paid for alan wake 1 and quantum break and epic paid for nigger woke 2 and chinks paid for crossfire campaign. remedy house IPs are only control and max payne. sam lake is a bum.

Snowdrop is also an incredible engine with a bunch of shit games made on it.

You say that as if this doesn't apply to every single AAA studio.

>>723166107
nta but you're retarded if you think remake 2 has medicore gameplay. like you probably think gameplay just means shooting a gun and nothing else.

>>723166032
have to spend half your fucking dev time updating tools for the engine instead of just making the game. there's a reason people use UE, unity, godot, etc.

>>723166218
Because it feels bad that a small shitty indie game like Lethal Company outsold Alan Wake and Control combined.

who paid for and greenlit this piece of shit?? is this still on timmy's dime like the 70 million euro musical, or is this out of annapurna's pocket after they left epic??

>>723166282
It does though. Especially after you leave the police station and it becomes a shooting gallery.

>>723166342
Lethal Company was made by someone with passion and an excellent ability to program systems in such a way as to create natural, unscripted comedic timing. A game made to chase trends could never compete with that.

>>723166342
you forgot that lethal company and repo has NO NIGGERS and even schedule 1's blacks arent uppity nigs, they dont even have story arcs.

>>723166467
I only mention Lethal Company because I have a suspicion that the design of the characters and humor in Firebreak is meant to evoke LC.
You could've put any indie LS game there htough.

>>723166072

/pol/ containment thread

Chuds lost lmfao

>>723166218
From what I gather, FBC wasn't really a big investment for Remedy. It was just a chance to try something a bit new using a lot of existing Control assets. It didn't look like they were expecting a golden goose. I don't think they expected it to flop as hard as it did either. But like half the promotional material was talking about how it was designed to never have MTX or large amounts of grind. Just a game to boot up after work and play because its fun. It apparently doesn't have enough content for it to be fun for long, so that didn't pan out, but I didn't see any sign of them chasing the live service dollars with it either.

>>723148476 (OP)
Remedy makes the most mediocre slop on the planet, I have no idea why people think they are a "good" developer.

>>723166218

>>723166862
Could you stop sucking cocks for half a second and actually read?

Remedy absolutely expected it to make money. They wouldn't have made it otherwise. But they weren't trying to be the next Destiny or whatever like Concord was. A little multiplayer shooter game on the side so the devs could try something new, make a bit of money and keep the investors happy was the goal. Instead it flopped.

>>723167048
It's just the one remake, acutally.

>>723148476 (OP)
Why would they make this? I didn't even know this was a Remedy game. I thought it was some sort of fireman game where you fight super fires.

Now that I think about it, destruction of western values through degenerative media is all well and good, but could it be that additional goal of these kikes is to force that shit into major companies, make them bankrupt and let these companies be sold to major corpos like Microsoft, essentially force creating monopoly states, or force them to grow private and than manipulate them from there. Monopolies are easier to manipulate and squeeze the capital from and also at the very top people mostly think alike so you don't even have to do much really as a fellow kike.

>>723169489
whole game funded by ESG jews and timmy
no wonder why the game turned to be crap and shat on legacy of alan wake

>>723168763
They don't have money or capital and do nothing but breed and scavenge for food all day. They can't be exploited.

>>723169489
Damn that's so much money, how did they manage to still lose 17M?

>>723169590
Alan Wake 2 is a better game than Alan Wake 1.

>>723169609
They didn't. Alan Wake 2 has made its money back and already has a sequel planned for 2029.

>>723169720
is it finally going to be real alan wake game or do we still have to play as token nigress?

>>723169801
I know you're chudding out but realistically
it's going to be an Alan Wake + Jesse Faden teamup game

>FBC Firebreak
>3 player coop set in the world of control
I've literally never heard of this game and I played control.
What the fuck was remedy's marketing department doing?

>>723170049
It was at TGAs

>>723169907
Part of me hopes they don't do this because I like each game's aesthetic separately, but I also hope they do it because I like crossovers.

Remedybros?...When will they make something that doesn't flop?

you can really tell these cucks are writing their stories alongside the "fans" theorizing online

its why everything is so open ended and commits to nothing. always leave doors and windows open so you can pivot if shit doesnt land. its so cowardly and pathetic.

>>723170573
how can you smile knowing that all the investors are losing money?

>>723170049
It's a cool concept but they decided to chase trends with it and messed up bad. Imo it would've been more successful if it was a single player squad based shooter set in the oldest house doing clean up work. Not a co op live service horde shooter. Anyone seen that Kodama short movie? I want that in game form.

Woke studio. I feel no sympathy.

It should've been a Left 4 Dead styled thing if they wanted to do structured levels.

one of the best games of recent years
still confused why they changed her skin color but whatever

WTF is Firebreak?

>>723171517
Control spinoff but made to be even more goyslop

Control 2 will surely save the company...

>>723148476 (OP)
What is fbc firebreak?

>>723167985
It's like you're surpassing yourself minute by minute.

>>723168763
I wish browns were worth as much money as they think they are

absolute idiots lmao

Totally forgot this existed. There's so many good options out there, why bother playing this one?

>>723173182
They weren't worth the cotton; never should have bothered trying to improve their lives

Whose idea was it to make an FPS multiplayer spinoff from Control anyway? Extremely retarded idea

>>723162549
I think his comment just proves the point that this dumbass game with a dumbass name has 0 brand recognition.

Tbh I thought it was fun but all my friends hated it and I sure as shit am not going to play with randoms

Honestly wonder if it made the marketing budget back.

>84 24h peak
holy shit, didn't know it was that bad.

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!

It's always the games everyone already knows will fail, and you have to ask yourself why the fuck did they greenlight it in the first place?
I like Remedy, I like their games. I am their target audience, but instead of just putting money into another game for someone like me, they waste money on a game that no one wants to play trying to target a demographic that is never going to be interested in playing a Remedy game in the first place. It's just nonsensical, it's shit that you know is going to fail before it's even released and yet they either for sunk cost reasons or because they think this time they will get a surprise hit they push forward anyways.

>>723148476 (OP)
The saddest thing about Alan Woke 2 is that no a single soul even bothered to make a mod to turn her white,
that's how much people even care about Remedy.
