Why am I actually doing this? Why bother messing with a failed game?
The answer is really simple. I built the company just to release this game. It cost me blood, mental breakdowns, almost a divorce... on top of that... it cost tons of money in wages. I fucking can't just leave it and move on. I refuse to. I am also not planning to give up on making games, and I need this game to be good if I want to make future FPS games. How can I get my credibility back with a title that is currently mostly negative?
Players don't care whose fault it was. I can point fingers in many directions: publisher, COVID, market crash... but it doesn't matter.
It's not always about the money. I read those comments on social media or LinkedIn about those business people or investors who just blabber about ROI, exits, funds, and other bullshit. People who never made anything will never understand this. My only response is:
Bitches ain't shit and they ain't saying nothing. A 100 MF can't tell me nothing.
I'm gonna do it anyway.
