Explains why the game’s retarded devs have been sassing people online, knowing full well how terribly it was doomed to flop.

They don’t care because they already got paid

Why would you assume this game cost 100m to make? It looks like they bought a lot of generic nature/medieval assets from the asset store and then put them together.

1m probably doesn't cover all of the development costs, but lets be realistic, this is not a 100m dollar game. Probably 10m max, and that's assuming it was made in the USA with experienced devs. If we drop the salary by 1/2 to 1/4 for Italy-based devs, and less experience, then that chunk is probably around 25% to 50% of the total budget. Most likely they had other govt funding as well, via some other grants or NGOs.

I would like to point to the recent EA layoffs. There's no need to care about a job they know damn well is a temporary position.

EA is in the middle of a Saudi buyout. This is them removing the chaff.

The developers are on salary. They already got paid.

The TRAs have been revising history for a while now. According to them Joan of Arc was both a lesbian, and trans. I'm stuck on how they skip the part where she was hearing voices. Hearing the voice of God is the point in the Joan of Arc story.

I giggle typing this. The TRAs picked the one person everyone knows would have been considered crazy today because of the voices. So, they just skip the part where she was hearing voices.

Goy science is revising many things. They now claim the ideal age for pregnant humans is 30.

There does happen to be plenty of data on teenage pregnancy. I haven't read about it in years, but the last time I read anything it gave an age range not a specific age.

I thought it was higher than that. Gotta max out those CC riding years before finding a paypig to enslave.

The medical establishment is pushing to end the term "geriatric pregnancy" in favor of "advanced maternal age" because the former made post-wall roasties feel bad.

Instead of hearing voices, she mumbles and talks to herself throughout the entire game, because yellow paint in the 14th Century would've been too obviously stupid.

I am so not impressed with revisionist history. Not even in video games. They could have made it so cool, and they failed. It's a classic fairy tale, and they fucked it up.

So how many crusades against muslims did the game include, because of cultural value and historical accuracy, of course?

Tax credit? How did they have so much to tax? This sounds like a money laundering operation.

All these woke games are. These guys didn't bankroll this game themselves; they had investors who wanted this particular message pushed and didn't particularily care about getting their money back.

Edit: They also don't say if it's a refundable tax credit. If it is, they do get the total of that money minus what they would have been paid in taxes.

If the game sells that's good because it proves gamers are bad, but if the game flops thats still a win because gamers are bad.
