A game developer known primarily for making best-selling and critically acclaimed single-player games pivoted in a new direction following a meeting a few years ago where an executive wrote the word âFortnight [sic]â on a dry-erase board and circled it three times without offering any elaboration or direction.
The developers worked tirelessly to create, we assume, a good, well-designed video game, that was either based on a popular intellectual property or an original universe. Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing, as the press release announcing the game shifted its language to thank all the fans for their support in the middle of the first paragraph before revealing any actual details about the gameâs content.
The three-minute announcement trailer, featuring a maudlin cover of Avril Lavigneâs âSk8er Boiâ by Tom Waits, was pulled offline one minute after publishing, which meant no one was able to watch long enough to see gameplay or even learn the gameâs title. Reports indicate, however, that the trailerâs budget exceeded the total cost of the gameâs development. Experts on the internet are currently scrambling to figure out how to discuss the game critically, as Steam active player count stats were never available.
Two days after issuing the whiteboard assignment, and after sending a total of three e-mails written with the aid of ChatGPT, the executive left the company and accepted what he referred to as a âmeasly $500 million great job departure feeâ as was required by his contract. He was later heard on a podcast bragging about how he “never had and never would” play a video game in his life.
