Paradox clearly cares about the direction of the IP, lol.
If they did, they would have actually re-published V:TES rather than handing it off to a small-time publisher whose reach is about the same as my partner's when I'm already sitting down enjoying a movie because, hey, who can be bothered to go and get shit when you have a perfectly reasonable servant lounging around to do the work you are perfectly capable of doing argh why the fuck do people marry.

It'll be fine. Give them ten years and as many DLCs and it'll be amazing.

Good morning, everyone
As you have noticed, we’ve been keeping pretty quiet for a while. With this in mind, the first piece of news we have for you is to confirm that Bloodlines 2 is still in development.
Secondly, we have made the hard decision that Hardsuit Labs will no longer be leading the development of Bloodlines 2 - which also means that we will not be releasing in 2021 as previously planned. Since we cannot at this time communicate a new release date, we've also decided to stop accepting pre-orders for the time being.
This game is very important to us and it has been an ambitious project from the very start. In order to meet our goals for it, we’ve come to the conclusion that a change is needed and, as a result, more development time is required.
We’d like to take this opportunity to honor Hardsuit Labs for their efforts and thank them for their hard work on the project. The studio has done a tremendous job in laying the foundations for the game and we hope that you, the community, will also appreciate their contribution to Bloodlines 2.
We’re thankful for your continuous support throughout the game’s development. We understand how important this is to you, and we’d love to share more with you. As soon as we can, we’ll let you know what the future development team of Bloodlines 2 will look like.
Ooooh. Drama!
This game is quickly becoming vaporware. A shame.
I'm other news, Persona 5 Strikers comes out today, so no one bother me for at least a week.
@rucket Cyberpunk 2077 fallout???
The whole Cyberpunk fiasco quite possibly is going to influence every development cycle in the industry moving forward.
But in my opinion the alpha gameplay footage looked pretty lackluster, so given that they just fired the development studio I think it probably had more to do with them underperforming or having some pretty significant creative differences.
so. um.
Valheim?
It was nice knowing everybody.
eta: It's like playing Minecraft for the first time again.

Never played Minecraft (or Valheim).

@Sunny you're welcome to stream with us!
I am not sure if I am presently up for such things, but I really appreciate the invitation!
Something I think some folks might be happy about, out of light of Anthem ceasing development.
Ask me about professional wrestling.

Thank Christ.
Racism isn't Tinkerbell. It doesn't need you to believe in it for it to exist.

Hot damn.
Spent the last four hours playing the Outriders demo. It's like Gears of War over the shoulder 3rd person gunplay with Mass Effect 3's biotics turned up to 11. Also being made by the people who made Bulletstorm, so the story and characters is equal parts ridiculous, eye-rolly, and hilarious.
I'll be buying this when opens up on the 1st.
Monster Hunter Rise came out a few days ago, and already started to brainstorm Monster Hunter MUSH. Possibly using D&D 4e because I hate everyone.
Edit to add: is verreh good on its own. Ride to battle on your pupper, run up walls because it is anime as hell.
Anyone else play One Hour One Life?
