The person you were replying to was explicitly talking about current ('new') anime, not industry darlings like AoT.

This is nothing new, been the story across media since Tolkien, really.
Seems like they tried to grow the company waaaaaaaaay too fast (practically doubled their number of employees since TW3 was released).
Obviously this sucks, but it's good that they're not unceremoniously dropping people with zero notice (looking at you, Activision). Doubt we can expect an environment where gamedev layoffs suddenly disappear, but people actually getting advanced warning about this stuff would be a huge improvement on the industry's norms.
Just finished Yakuza 3, started Yakuza 4. Enjoying the visual bump, and some refreshing changes to the combat, though I loved the story of Y3. Also playing through BotW for the first time (very late to the party).
Trying not to get sucked in too deep by my return to OSRS on top.
It's not "obsolete" for set characters, which is what this is if they have pre-established stories and personalities.
You think the PoE devs aren’t getting paid? lol
That's not how budgets nor gamedev work. It's not up to individual developers to just add huge amounts of content to a game that hasn't been budgeted for.
I love X! (not that one) and I love reading this!
Right? It’s literally bundled with one of the most popular headsets.
Though there are still plenty of indies that still exude quality and love from their developers. Things like Compound, Budget Cuts, Until You Fall, or Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades (if you’re a gun person) are all a bunch of fun.
Though there’s that Walking Dead game if you want something with more money behind it (and are less anxious than me).
Settled's Swampletics (OldSchool RuneScape) is wild, and popular among even people who have never played OSRS.
First I've heard of it, thanks! (At first I assumed it was made by the Cloudpunk people, very similar voxel-driven(?) style.)
Immersive sims that aren't combat orientated (though tbh I would take just-more-imsims).
Blizzard is desperate here. Am I right in thinking this is the first time they've put anything on Steam?
Enjoyed Overwatch back in the day, i.e. when it was new; but really not a fan of them reducing team sizes to make it a more conventional "fit" with other 'esports'.
Feel like the trailer undersells the quality of the game.
