Want more proof that Sega and studio leadership (Relic + CA) are run by pro-ESG clowns resulting in studio layoffs?

Sega news supported by inside sources;

Sega cancels Creative Assembly's Hyenas
"Layoffs at Creative Assembly are expected in the wake of Sega's decision to cancel Hyenas, Eurogamer understands, with positions across the studio affected."
https://www.eurogamer.net/sega-has-cancelled-hyenas

Canceled loot shooter Hyenas allegedly "Sega's biggest budget game ever", new report claims:
Published on 4 Oct 2023;
https://www.eurogamer.net/cancelled-loot-shooter-hyenas-allegedly-segas-biggest-budget-game-ever-new-report-claims
YouTube channel Volound shared an eye-opening video on the recent cancellation, with claims from anonymous developers detailing a "total lack of direction" around the game, with one contributor stating many members of the leadership team were "asleep at the wheel but they never seemed to lose their jobs". The same source noted an engine change and "not committing to doing anything adventurous with the game" were all part of Hyenas' ultimate demise.

Another contributor said that internal feedback on the game was poor, adding it was felt that Hyenas would "melt into the background of an already saturated multiplayer shooter market". These claims have since also been corroborated by VGC.

HYENAS: Inside Story of Creative Assembly's $100M FAILURE:


My response to this ongoing CORPORATE shitshow which includes bread and circuses;
"Total lack of direction", is too kind.

Braindead consumers who lack critical thinking and consume junk entertainment (bread and circuses) also share some responsibility for this corporate clown world.

The power of bread and circuses;

If you think corporations are coming to get you, well you live in a capitalistic country, what do you expect? They hold power and lobby politicians.

That's just how your society functions, its not news, and you want it that way too.

What's the news?

Sega wanted in on the 'funny crazy hero shooter' live service business after the boom half a decade ago and decided to make a cheap copy too little too late while handing it to their prime studio known for turn based strategy.
Backed up by no marketing campaign.

Surprisingly, the game was bad and failed. Surprisingly, there will be people fired.

How is that ESG?

Setting of that game.

Drag queens are the "heroes" of it.

They made a game that appeals to 0.000001% of population and are wondering why it flopped at reception.

I only watched a couple of videos about it, but the characters don't look hugely different from overwatch or similar games.

They just made a bad game that you mostly could have played already years ago. The world only needs so few oversaturated color palette games with exaggerated "laid back" characters.
