im sure the people who work at the studio mean well and it obviously sucks that people got laid off, but there's few other things less appealing than when someone describes the thing they are working on as "intellectual property". like the quote about "proving themselves to the fans of the IP" just completely robs me the wrong way.
I really wish the team that made Disco Elysium had gotten the chance to make another "whatever-the-hell-they-wanted-to-make" but that sure seemed like wishful thinking.
edit: also describing your own thing as "110% authentic" to some older thing you made before is just cringe, the hell do i give a shit if its authentic to some other thing i liked, the thing should stand on its own
