Can't have anything nice in this industry can we? Can't have anything good because of "our profit margins!" Hell, even making anything successful just rewards you with layoffs. I'm so tired of this industry's corporate greed.

Gamesbeat: "The cuts came as id’s team was toying with different game ideas including a John Wick-style original game called Fury; a new game in the Perfect Dark franchise; and a multiplayer/co-op version of Doom. It’s not clear which game, if any, the remaining team can do."

Cool. Just gut the studio with THE iconic forever game. Instead of making generic live service games, they chose to focus on story driven FPS that isn't afraid to try something new with each installment, or not push predatory transactions. The next DooM game is gonna be on UE, and it's gonna SUCK!

Bob Copper. A gruff, middle age man in a slightly worn out green trenchcoat, and coffe stain button up shirt. On his head, is a earpierce/police siren made to look like a samurai's chonmage. He is holding a homemade "virus buster" which is made up of an old Electrolux vacuum, and a long, duct taped together hose that is snaking behind him. On his arm, his transfer displays an image of Omega-Xi, the FM-ian he's been tracking. Bob hasn't slept in days at this point.
