Comment on Deus Ex, Saints Row and TimeSplitters might be lent out to external partners, Embracer say, possibly paving the way for new entries

I’m unfortunately not excited to see timesplitters here. Though it is my favorite game, I don’t think it could be made today. Too much of it could be used for microtransactions, the spirit and creativity are lost among modern developers so it would either be a “hey millennials remember this?” Or a fortnite style “hey fellow kids look at this topical and popular media of which I have partnered. Skibity.” Finally the humor just isn’t there. The original cameout of a love for golden eye and a long lasting friendship, any in jokes, references, or risqué humor is going to be glassed from orbit by a board of directors in the name of optimal marketability.

If you want more timesplitters like I do, go donate to Timesplitters Rewind. At least they’re doing it for the love of the game instead of the money.
