Arkane Lyon boss Dinga Bakaba and others from across the industry have reacted to today’s news of devastating closures at Bethesda.
Earlier today, news broke that Microsoft is making huge cuts at Bethesda, including closing Redfall studio Arkane Austin, Hi-Fi Rush studio Tango Gameworks, and Mighty Doom studio Alpha Dog Games.
Bakaba, Arkane Lyon’s studio and co-creative director, described the decision as “absolutely terrible” in an irate thread on X, formerly Twitter.
“Permission to be human : to any executive reading this, friendly reminder that video games are an entertainment/cultural industry, and your business as a corporation is to take care of your artists/entertainers and help them create value for you,” he said.
