If you ever thought that #Unity gave up on shady practices, it was probably a fancy cover up PR.
Garry (yep, the one with the mod and also the Rust game) complained that unnamed engine company asked them for $500K/year in services if they want to keep using it. Since it's definitely not Valve and Garry's mod, he's talking about Unity.

Mac Walters announced that his Worlds Untold studio lost funding and no longer works with NetEase. They are looking for new partners, but laying off stuff.
Yesterday Casey Hudson announced that his Humanoid Origin is shutting down before any games were released.
Both were creators of the original Mass Effect trilogy and left BioWare to make own games. In current market conditions their legendary status wasn't enough to secure funding. Both teams were medium-size (about 50 and 140 people respectively).

😲 What a twist:
Annapurna failed to save its gaming division, so they all left and got another indie label from another greedy corporation under their control?

Slightly before that. Still a questionable move for any big structure with internal studios.

KCD2 is doing great: 1M copies sold on the first day!
It seems that KCD II has the budget of around $41m, which is exceptionally small by modern standards.
This number already paid off. And it was achieved by using labor from Eastern Europe, Cyprus, and some other cheaper areas. For example, Owlcat Games (Pathfinder, Rogue Trader) provided a strong team of developers for the game.

Intel now has a horrible credit rating, which affects any possible investments and further financing of their factories and overall production plans.
It's a big issue for consumers: if we will end up with mostly AMD, they will make pricing worse and will not evolve as fast as they did in the era of competition.
