Community for CRPG games and other RPG gaming discussions. Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Baldurs Gate as well as indie RPGs (Underrail, Avernum, Space Wreck etc.). Focus is on CRPGs, but discussion around JPRGs, ARPGs and hybrid games with RPG components is also welcome.

Tabletop/pen & paper RPG discussion is not a good fit for this community. Check out !rpg@ttrpg.network for TT/P&P RPG discussions.

Memes are not banned, but the overwhelming focus is on discussions, releases and articles. Try and post memes (on an occasional basis) that would make people who don't like memes admit "OK! That was a good one!".

  3. No spam, illegal content, or games with excessive, non-artistic NSFW content (e.g. hentai or porn games).

Minus whatever the cost to develop new content will be (which they've stated they will lean into heavily, similar to their previous Hitman games).

Yes, they're turning a profit, but not enough to fund their predicted cost for a sequel if it tracks even remotely similar percentages to the World of Assassins trilogy.

It would probably be way smarter if everything was funded out of a policy of austerity using the previous game's profits, but I don't think that's how it works, hence the people fired the minute this project was cancelled.
