There is no way that Beyond Good and Evil 2, if it ever does actually get released at some point, has any chance whatsoever of being even remotely good. (Also, Woolie, it has "only" been 15 years, not 20.)
Also, at the start, they mention Forspoken and how Squeenix dissolved the dev team that made it after, like, a month or so.
It's kind of sad how none of these companies (Squeenix, Ubi, EA, Activision Blizzard, etc.) who, when they have a dev team make a game and then the game does badly and then they punish the dev team by "absorbing" them or else just straight up firing them, have the self-awareness to realize that the common denominator in all of those cases is... those companies. I mean, this isn't (or, at least, wasn't) a post about EA, here, but just think about all the devs that EA bought up over the past two or three decades and then, after the output of those devs almost immediately turned to shit explicitly because of EA's worse-than-useless meddling, EA killed off said devs (while continuing to milk the rotting corpses of said devs' IPs ad infinitum). And yet, EA never once stops to consider the obvious fact that maybe they are the reason this keeps happening over and over and over and over and over. As usual, sadly/frustratingly/enragingly, all the other big publishers seem to look at EA as a role model, rather than a cautionary tale.
