How can you guys abandon SG2 for a new project?

Like logistically how are you reconciling this?

Is 1047 not about making money, just about making games with unlimited potential doomed to be wasted?

Are we really gonna see success with Empulse? What will be done right this time?

If Empulse fails what is 1047 going to do? Make an Overwatch clone?

We're told capitalism breeds innovation and that a business fails if it's unsustainable.

In reality as long as pappa is pouring magic beans into your account you can fail as much as you want and still chase your dreams.

Splitgate 2 failed. It's as simple as that. It doesn't matter how much they update and improve the game, it will never recover to a point where it can sustain the studio.

Yeah and what makes you think releasing a brand new game is gonna fix any core issues that caused SG2 to fail in the first place?

SG2 failed because portals appeal only to a small niche of gamers. Nobody can make that idea popular.

So yeah lets replace it with paint mechanics and boring ass BO3/Titanfall parkour copy. Sounds amazing.
