The Koalition spoke to id Software’s Studio Director Tim Willits about Rage 2, what’s it like working at Avalanche Studios and more.
Randy: "I am sorry there was a misunderstanding. The absolute sincere truth is that I don’t want anyone to pay any more than they should or are comfortable with and I always work with the intent and hope that a customer always feels they got the better end of the deal no matter what they pay. The actual context was that a guy replied to a post about Borderlands 4 on the Nintendo Switch 2 was warning me that if the price ends up being $80, the game will fail. What I was trying to do was explain that it wasn’t my call but that if a $10 price increase does happen (since that’s obviously where the industry is going), it will be okay and that Borderlands 4 will be okay because it’s a great game and there are a lot of fans who will see the value and want it."
It will sell well because it’s Borderlands, but I’m not getting it Day 1 now. I’ll happily wait and buy something else.
He just had to open his mouth, I don’t know why they don’t see how much of a PR disaster he is.
Makes me wonder why people like this lead games and franchises that are beloved. Dude just needs to shut up and never speak their opinions on social media lol. Just chill and enjoy your life with the 7 figure salary you get bud.
There's nothing to buy because there's no apology here except for how WE "misunderstood" what he so clearly typed out.
Yea like we’re just dumb consumers that don’t understand PR damage control. Hey Randy, if you cared about the fans you’d fight against this stupid price hike… oh wait…
Atomic Heart studio Mundfish announces its next venture, Mundfish Powerhouse, a publishing label aimed at helping the smaller developers of the gaming industry.
10 million players for Atomic Heart, nice!
Does this mean we might see an Atomic Heart 2? Crispy Critters!
They're launching a new publishing label, Mundfish Powerhouse, but I wouldn't be shocked if they'll be using that to self-publish Atomic Heart 2 - hopefully!
It's on GP. 10 million players and a made another studio? So Did Gamepass help or contribute in making another studio for them? I know its on other platforms which also helped their new venture.
10 million? Hard to believe for a game with only 400 people playing this game currently and a all time peak of only 37k on PC. Is the difference in popularity of this game on console and PC really that big?
Well done Mundfish, I had a fun time with this game... apart from the 2nd dlc. Great world building, a solid storyline and Bioshock style gameplay. Looking forward to what comes next.
Playtonic has officially announced they had to let some of their staff go; ask that other developers offer them a position if possible.
Layoffs are always sad but in this case, it makes sense? They've only developed two games of their own and their third is a remake of the first that's been taking a very long time. I can't imagine there's much revenue flowing in to sustain them
It's sad, I was hoping they'd be super successful with how fun Yooka-Laylee was despite being rough around the edges. However they did only 2 games and the 3rd game is a remake, I was kind of expecting a proper Yooka-Laylee 2 by now.
I wish they were allowed to make Banjo-Threeie
Rage 2 seems much more fun than the original.
