Nah. I loved that guy, and I generally don't do boycotts, but I'm done with him.
It's 2026. If you don't know who the Nazis are yet, I don't need to hear any more from you.

Rumors of Arkane shutting down.
Grummz got let go from Blizzard, crashed two studios, scammed $700k + from backers, stole cameras from RED5 for his failed pornographer stint, wasted $3 million on a bus, has nothing to show after 8+ years of lying about progress for his “game” and is essentially unemployed
Also the hand pawpads are an extremely furry choice that I have literally never seen outside of furry art. And it's a kind of obscure debate in furry communities about how that'd work lol
The Japanese video game industry needs to be studied man, like how can they have been so successful when they didn't even treat their own IP with respect
Capcom President Haruhiro Tsujimoto says their success can be attributed to the move away from individual led development:
“In the game industry, when a title becomes a series, it often ends up depending heavily on a particular developer, becoming what you’d call an individual-driven title. If that person doesn’t make one, there’s no next installment. The direction of the series becomes tied to the ideas of a single creator.
We discussed the issue with the central figures behind each franchise and ultimately agreed that we should abandon that approach. What we came up with instead was the idea that every title should essentially be rebuilt from the ground up. We didn’t mind even if sales temporarily declined as a result, and by switching to a team-based approach to game development, Capcom changed dramatically.”

If you're owned by a megacorp you will either be making big commercial hits or you will be making nothing. More and more the "passion" games have to be breakouts like E33 and the like. Yes, this also applies to Sony studios, which has already done a few of these shutdowns itself
