It's sad to watch corporate leadership try to fix problems with tactics that will only make them worse. MS bought successful studios who were successful precisely because their of unique technical and design culture. Now they plan to homogenise them into a content-creation blob that will churn out entries for existing franchises, using the same tools and approaches as the rest of the industry. Anything that was special or unique about those studios and their games will be lost, and the result will be a downward spiral of mediocrity that will cause players to lose interest even further.

This is the thing that annoys me. They have the Fallout series hostage and moves like this sadden me because I can't expect the next game to particularly great when stuff like this happens.

You can make a fallout game yourself if you don't call it fallout.

"Radioactive Dust 5" doesn't have quite the same ring to it though

Alternative trademarks never do. Every company gets started anyway. I'm sure International Business Machines felt they sounded like a low budget knock-off of National Cash Register.

Radioactive Dust is quite uninspired though, how about Super Nuclear Apocalypse Bros DX

[bad_login]

What about "wasteland" ?

[account42]

That would never sell.

[superxpro12]

This is atomfall, is it not?

[trashface]

Could call it "wasteland"!

Fallin'

Aren't you a bit late with that comment? It's been decades since the Fallout license was gobbled up by Bethesda.
