EA Cancels Black Panther Game, Closes Cliffhanger Studios

The studio with the racists, right?

yeah i'd say i'm alright with the cancellation, to be honest any superhero game can just go away for a while, unless it's really an interesting concept, i'd rather devs just focus on new and interesting ideas.

part of me wishes it came out and crashed and burned though, a sort of Dustborn 2.0



Why is their art style always so off-putting? Why does woke always look perverted and or pedophilic... I feel like whoever drew this should seriously have their browser history checked
i honestly think these people like to make you eat shit and pretend you like it as some kind of purity test.

Like they'll make a fat ugly character and expect you to gush over how beautiful she is, to prove that you reject society's patriarchal beauty standards.

Just look at Concord's cast. You know that nobody inside the studio had the guts to say they looked fucking repulsive even though they were all thinking it.

Bunch of vapid freaks making what they think they're supposed to make, saying what they think their echo chamber wants to hear, and liking what they think they're supposed to like. Nothing but hollow virtue signaling all the way down.
 
Electronic Arts has canceled its third-person single-player game based on Marvel's Black Panther franchise and will shut down developer Cliffhanger Games, according to an IGN report.

"These decisions are hard," said Electronic Arts Entertainment president Laura Miele in an email sent to staff. "They affect people we've worked with, learned from, and shared real moments with. We're doing everything we can to support them—including finding opportunities within [Electronic Arts], where we've had success helping people land in new roles."

Electronic Arts is also laying off staff on both its mobile and central teams, but the company declined to comment on the number of employees affected.

According to Miele, these changes are being done to "sharpen [Electronic Arts'] focus and put our creative energy behind the most significant growth opportunities." Going forward, Miele said, Electronic Arts intends to focus on a small handful of franchises, including Apex Legends, Battlefield, The Sims, and skate. She also assured that the company is continuing production on its Iron Man game in at Motive, the third entry in the Star Wars: Jedi series at Respawn Entertainment, and the next Mass Effect game at BioWare.

I'm not shedding any tears.

the era of licensed IPs are dead (again)
Every generation where it exists, it has mostly been top tier shit. As far back as the 80s, I can remember being interested in those games and the box art was more effective at that time because of the age of video games and what we didn't know back then. Imagine being hyped to play fucking E.T...?
Yeah. We was young' n shit.
 
Oh....this is THAT studio....


She's the type of person when you call her racist, because she is, she'll tell you that racism is prejudice plus systematic power, ignoring the fact that her hiring style here is systematic power. Good riddance, the game would've been dog shit anyway.
 
Oh....this is THAT studio....


Funny thing is so many of you want to blame GAAS for Sony issues…. I bet you there's a lot of this going on at Sony….

We still haven't gotten released footage of the Wolverine game with the same Spiderman wall crawling animations…

I'm telling you these studios need to go back to crunch and get rid of all these useless "artists"
 
Seems the Studio Lead wasnt even aware, good ridance since she was blantly racist

That allegedly put things like "fuck white people" on character design graphics for her previous game Validate:

Sadly we won't get to see the SteamDB charts for Black Panther. This is the closest we'll get. Just imagine what could've been.
 
Back to starbucks courtney :(

When you start to understand that the people being hired are hired on their sexuality and gender… You'll realize how many of these unqualified employees work at all these big studios and then you'll start to understand why Bungie games have stolen work in their games….

These studios are legit just hiring a bunch of women who are actually voting for and dictating the projects of games being worked at… (this is why you're getting a Ghost of Yotei)

I also remember seeing Simon Larouche hinting to Socom being worked on I can almost guarantee Herman Hulst and a bunch of the female employees voted on working in a Horizon multiplayer…. (On one of Colin Moriarty's podcast I remember him speaking on how the devs at Sony vote on projects)
 
What's scary about this whole situation is that people like the woman from Cliffhanger Studios get high profile jobs in the first place. It was the same with DAV director pushing their agenda and trying to make Taash the most important character in the game.

EA is taking a closer look at their projects and reacting only because their key IP's are now underperforming and they can't afford more big flops.
 
Oh....this is THAT studio....



God damn white people and their "micro aggressions"

"Hi Dani I like your shirt" . See white person you committed multiple MAs with this comment.

MA #1) By complementing they/thems shirt you are by proxy NOT complimenting they/thems pants. How do you think that makes they/them feel when you do that?
MA #2) By looking at the shirt, you just got caught looking at they/thems chest. Your disgusting sexual fetish has been exsposed. Your obsession with they/thems breasts is a kink that fetishsizes They/them and is not acceptable.

I hope you white people learn from this , just how your Micro aggregations effect us, and wont be tolerated in the modern workplace.
 
So yeah... this is, at best, egg on EA's face for canceling a big IP game they got a license for and then shuttering a studio at the same time. Like horrible press and optics.

You just got to wonder how fucking the bad the game was shaping up and/or how little they had to show that this was the better solution.

This is the publisher that saw Veilguard and said, "Good enough to ship" so they aren't above squeezing out slop. So either there was fuck all there and/or they knew they couldn't salvage this.

I think it was a combination of the project not going well and the market's waning interest in cape shit.

Wonder Woman got axed. Is that Blade game still cooking?

It's poor and hackish, but you're seriously reaching.
 
I don't understand. She's such a talented game dev. Her game Validate is a modern art masterpiece. Check it out. EA don't know what they are losing with this cancelation.


Sucks for the studio, but fuck that racist bitch.

Recently saw a video, aparently that game only has one white guy that is also straight, and by the studio analitics he was the most picked character (dunno if its playable character or just a love interest) but she came out and say that she was disappointed that the straight white guy was the most picked by the players cuz she didnt made the game with that intention. Or something along those lines.
 
How the fuck is this not bold face racism?

Like literally depriving a job based solely on skin color.

I am normally on the torch EA corpo team but... yeah... after this, I am wondering why it took them so long.
It is racism. But in life typically the down and outers are given a longer leash to do or say dumb things and society or cops are expected to turn a blind eye and give them a break to do whatever dumb shit they feel like doing.

It's just that for any company who does demographic hiring ratios for political agendas, government contracts (yes, govs can be bigots too only awarding them to companies who fit the narrative), or PR brownie pts they arent stupid enough to blatantly say it on social media.

Leave it to social media tweets and videos to bring out maximum stupidity in people for clicks.
 
Capeshit genre is finally going extinct, too bad for the studio closure, but if the game was years away, it'd be a megabomb leading to the same results as today, knowing EA...

My heartfelt thoughts and best wishes with the 300 plus game developers who just lost their job especially the white people... Oh wait.

haha same with Concord. The normal looking white guy was the most popular character choice during the beta.

Why do these low budget DEI games have the same art style? They remind me of that bland style comic books used when they went woke a few years ago.

"Modern audiences are diverse, we need to be diverse too! Just think how much we could expand our audience!"

*cranks out a bunch of same-y soulless garbage that nobody buys*
 
Oh....this is THAT studio....


So they are hiring based on skin color, that's just straight up racism but apprently it's okay because it against white people? Where is equality in that?

You hire based on skill sets……your race and sexuality is irrelevant.
 
According to their Linkedin page, the studio has a minimum of 74 employees. They picked the 51-200 range, and Linkedin has 74 users who have them as their employer.

Not every person working there may have a Linkedin or put them as their current job. Sounds crazy, but not every person does (or they hide their profile). So there might be more like 80-100 working there.
