    What do you mean start over? Palworld is up and running and the team has plenty expertise in survival games. Microsoft got nothing to do with it. And of course I was partly joking because A) the logistics to find the team a proper office in the area as a small indie dev are close to impossible. B) Microsoft/Blizzard being the piece of shit companies that they are would claim the team uses work that belongs to MS even when they don‘t and give them a lawsuit and C) US employees are pretty expensive. A new division on another continent has huge benefits for game testing purposes, but there are cheaper places to do that.

      I thought you meant the team working for blizzard developing the survival game that was cancelled and the team that was working on that. I misunderstood and now don’t really know what you were talking about.

        If it doesn’t have to be a AAA with hooks for MTX everywhere then development and design would go much faster.

        It would be like putting down the 5 kilo weight you’ve been carrying for seven years and realizing the hike to releasing a game doesn’t have to be so arduous
