Metal Arms: Glitch in the System

think Ratcher and Clank but enemies and you show battle damage including crippled limbs and 40+ levels

ends on a bit of a cliff hanger and the studio got shut down.

That's the cost of piracy

I want their studios to burn down

>>388139181
Eh, the company may have died but all of their ideas and influence spread and lived on in other forms. I really don't think things would have been all that much different.

>>388139994
No, that's the cost of niche as fuck but really titles.
No studios have actually died because of piratefags.

*really good

>>388140532
I think you're wrong, because I think they would've continue to experiment with gameplay concepts

the games that resemble Thief, or have gameplay elements like it, feel like copies of it rather than something original

when will kojima be stopped

>dev makes good game
>dev makes amazing sequel
>both games sold very well
>third game is outsourced and is fucking garbage
I don't understand why devs ever do this

>>388141120
I think this is pretty easy to explain

for instance, the devs' studio bancrupts and they sell the IP, or they're just bored of it and want to work on something else

Gears of War was this to a T.
