Remember that little assessment I did on Embracer group in the saints row thread. Boy did I fucking call it huh! lol.
Yeah we're not getting Deus Ex anytime soon. Its all collapsing.

based on this they had a few flops but they also had a lot of major successes that likely made up for it. You can really tell where the money is going to start flowing into. THQ Nordic, Sabre Interactive and Plaion look a bit on the dead weight side in that they likely have had more failures than successes for the 2022 period. Coffee Stain and Gearbox are likely to get a lot more investment if you look at this.

I still stand by this assessment to an extent given that the extent of the firings seem to be coming from the Edios holdings and THQ Nordic. But yeah overall I was right to assume that Embracer was on downward trend most of their successes in 2022 offset their disastrous failures - its just been accelerated by a huge collapse in tech investment so 2023 resulted in this outcome - the exception of course being the AI boom hence Embracer's stupid comment about it, that AI is going to continue to grow until it leaves fad (see the dot com boom same happened there). AAA is fucked, the firings will continue.

Employees Say ‘Sizable Portion’ Of Gearbox-Owned Studio Has Been Laid Off​

Wow I was very wrong about them reinvesting in gearbox. Yeah this sounds more like its a taking your ball and leaving tantrum.

Even if we got a Deus Ex, we wouldn't really be getting one. Not today. Not from some tranny-run western dev studio. Even Cyberpunk had tranny stuff in it and it was made by Polacks.

We already know that it wouldn't have been an Adam Jensen story, so that leaves digging up the Dentons or making a new, extremely faggoty character.

I'd rather the franchise get buried finally than have its corpse paraded around as a vehicle for woke.

It's been a while since I've been following all this gaming drama with Embracer, so I need a refresher: were these guys the ones who bought up a lot of big name IPs at one fell swoop some time like last year or two years ago? I keep getting them confused with THQ Nordic.

I'd rather wish they had a try. At worst it would be a bad game and I could ignore it, at best it could be another Deus Ex 4 which I enjoyed a lot.

they're basically the same thing. Embracer owns THQ Nordic. Ugh its the Zenimax, BethesdaSoft, BGS bullshit again isn't it lol.

The guy who wrote the iconic Deus Ex intro trooned out. It's a tranny genre. It's right there in the name: transhumanism.

Is it just me, or were those two games kinda overrated a bit?
Don't get me wrong, I still think they're pretty good, but there's just something that's missing in them when compared to the OG Deus Ex...

They can't hold a candle to Deus Ex, but they're also probably the last big budget games of this type that we'll ever see.

Trannies are a specific kind of mental disease and have nothing to do with transhumanism.

The idea of creating synthetic bodies might lead to synthetic or cloned gender swaps, but that's not the same as taking hormones, cutting your balls off and inverting your penis. The level of delusion and self-hatred responsible for such thinking is something beyond DX, Ghost in the Shell or any other fictional work.

Forced meme.
Also transhumanism is not about troons. It's about enhancing humans not mutilating them.

Tell the troons that. They really do believe putting arbitrary holes in your crotch, castration children, and hacking breasts off girls, and doing linguistic gymnastics is the road to freedom. And they think they're right by default.

I hope that, assuming civilization isn't gone by then, once tech advances enough to allow perfect conversion from male to female and vice-versa, trannies will die out for good (granted, they'll anyway, but it would be funny to give them exactly what they want and still not be satisfied).
The new question will be: Is it gay to fuck a woman that used to be a man and transitioned with 100% success?

Of course it's gay. It's also incredibly gay to even ask that question.

The rule of thumb is that if you need to ask if something is gay that thing is definitely gay.

In that case I think the specific phenomenon of transgenderism would subside but the deeper cause - the rebellion against reality and the inability of wishing alone to make things true - would remain and express itself in some other kind of equivalent pathology.
