Shigeru Miyamoto says the games that resonate most with players all around the world aren’t those deliberately designed for global appeal, but those based on a developer’s personal interests.

Not the biggest necessarily…but the weirdest?

Well this sucks. Not looking good for the nu-Firaxis / XCOM studio.
SCOOP: A few weeks before the launch of Star Wars Zero Company, most of the developers at its studio were furloughed
The studio says they hope to secure funds to restore their pay. Some are skeptical it'll happen
I learned about this via a bitter lawsuit:

‘Most’ of Star Wars Zero Company studio Bit Reactor was furloughed ahead of launch
The details emerged amid a legal dispute between company founders. The lawsuit also provides an unexpected look into a studio behind one of the best-reviewed Star Wars games in years

I'm also just kind of dying at "we need to start making games for retired guys" like Paradox and Firaxis don't exist.

some personal news: last week was my last day at Firaxis! I’m gutted to leave before Arc / Earthrise but there was an adventure I couldn’t refuse. More on that later—but for now I’ll miss everyone & getting to flex my research skills. Designing Civ’s narrative system has been such an honor.
