IO Interactive self-published 007 First Light, but don't expect that to happen with future releases.

    Just another example to show corporations don’t know shit about making games. Literally looking at a good thing and say nope we want to chance fuck this up … “

    Wow, way to crater a potentially good IP by letting a dumpster fire of game studios develop them. I won’t bother to buy the first game at all, I can’t bother to get my hopes up with a decent game, only to know the future of a franchise is totally fucked.

    I was excited to see a sequel after watching the whole playthrough, but this killed all my expectations. Of course everything has to be enshittified.

    And I won’t be buying it then. Great job whoever decided this, saves me 70€ 🙂

      As I understand the current game is developed and published by IO meaning the current Bond money probably goes to IO (as much as the licensed game profits can go to the developer) so I think it’s still worth buying. The next Bond games can go die behind a dumpster.

        I mean specifically the sequel(s). The current game I would’ve already gotten if I didn’t have to spend money on something else, but still intending to buy it some time later, looks fun and pretty much exactly what I expected.

          Ah, fair enough. I assumed you also meant the current game which is priced at 70€.

    Honestly, this was going to be a wait until moderate discount for me since I have such a massive backlog. I guess I’ll pick it up now just to support IO Interactive for getting screwed by AI.

      Spoiler Alert:

      Tap for spoiler

      Imagine making a game that criticizes having blind faith in AI, just to get screwed by a company that heavily funds LLMs and enshittify your story.
