EA shuts down Visceral Games.

Well EA kills another great studio.

Fuck you EA! :angry:

My bet is Bioware next.

EA: “Wow this game is great! When will you add loot boxes in it?”
Visceral: “I don’t think we wan ----”
EA: “You’re fired.”

To be fair, dead space 3 wasn’t very good.

Unfortunately, destroyed by EA microtransaction policies and FPS crap.

Watch your both about FPS now! I must say though, I’ about fed up with loot boxes and microtransactions though :confused:

So EA is mad at the studio for adding things to the game that EA forced them to add to the game that resulted in a bad game… You know I think we may have figured out EA’s menstrual cycle. Just correlate the dates of each time they shut down a perfectly good studio…
XD

They do this so EA can take all of Visceral’s IP and code base and redistribute it to the other studios and call it their own.

Wasn’t Visceral Games working on Darksiders 3?

Nope. It was to be developed by Vigil Games (similar name) before their financial trouble and closure. Now developed by Gunfire Games.

Okay, they are trying to use the THQ tag if I remember correctly right?

Yes. The publisher is THQ Nordic, formerly Nordic Games.

Well, another sad news. Respawn is a great studio and Titanfall games are freaking amazing. Unfortunately, Titanfall will become the same crap Star Wars/Battlefield has become. RIP Respawn.

katsuo Right into the belly of the beast. :frowning:

Wonder if the plan is to drive all games into the ground until, FIFA is the only game left to buy? Serious question.

katsuo I mean they published the games and probably had some influence over them anyway. At least that means we will get another Titanfall. I was worried we wouldn’t

shiftysatchmo “some” influence > total control of the development
They are going to destroy Titanfall and Respawn. That’s 100% sure.

katsuo pffff EA has plenty of good games. You guys are overreacting
