New update also comes with a new companion :toot:

"Anti-imperialist at heart, Safia is a seasoned explorer with a curiosity for the world around her. Her age and experience help keep her grounded, and with it, comes wisdom beyond compare ( though she doesn’t flaunt it ).

A happy woman, content with the life she’s led, she now chooses to join you and help fight back against the growing evil that lurks on the horizon."
It's crazy how people can be so careless with their employment status when it presumably took them a decent while to get where they are

Wild to think that not too long ago it was those evil publishers holding devs back and causing their downfall. Turns out devs are plenty capable of self-destruction

Haven't worked with or even seen a single half-decent marketing department in any field.

This is like being in a hole, finding a magic wish granting lamp, and wishing for more shovels.

To be more specific, it's an update about companion romance and these are the only two screenshots. Every romanceable companion is gay as well.

Naturally, the male romance option is a White, conventionally attractive, blonde, blue-eyed man.

I think Spiders needs the workforce to go on strike again, to really let the creative juices flow and ensure they deliver an even bigger bomb than Veilguard. It's not like they are unaware of what sells - Mars: War Log, Technomancer, Bound by Flame and even the first Greedfall had attractive romance options, so this has to be a very deliberate choice.

I genuinely have to wonder if the leadership is completely oblivious about the marketability of their product, or if they are purposely setting themselves up for failure so the French gubmit can bail them out.

No not really. They were two straight options (Kurt for broads and Uppity Nigette for guys) and two bi options (Siora and Vasco).

There wouldn't be a need for them if devs didn't waste time and resources on the female protagonist option.

Spiders's Creative Director/former-CEO is a middle aged French woman, of course she'd be into this.

I really don’t understand how a small to mid size studios could willfully ignore there own core demographics when they don’t have big publishers to fall back on.

Spiders was acquired by Bigben in 2019. Studios tend to go downhill once this kind of thing happens.

Shame how far they fallen. In all honesty there game Bound by Flame is were they peaked and has been a steady decline since.
