an announcement from Square Enix indicates that its Western operations "will continue to publish franchises such as Just Cause, Outriders, and Life Is Strange."

At least they got one out of three right, but I'm sure this is largely due to contractual obligations. Just Cause is the only IP out of the three that is worth a damn.

Isn't LiS popular? I liked the first game despite the woke, but skipped the second and the new one too.

I'm sure it's popular among the alphabet people. Despite the considerable corporate pandering, however, the percentage is not very high. I think the first game is the only one that did any relevant numbers.

I think it's moderately popular, but production costs have increased and Dontnod is losing money. The original really captured the Tumblr audience at its prime, and that time is over.

And without even the LiS brand I wonder how much they're really worth.

Which really sucks because I really liked the story. I thought it was really well done, but I played it with zero expectation and zero idea of what I was getting into.

I was so... disappointed to find there were few fans interested in anything other than shipping the two protagonists in their lesbian fantasies.

Also possibly Deus Ex and Tomb Raider.
