    STORY: Warner Bros. Games is shutting down three studios, including Monolith Productions, and cancelling the Wonder Woman game. "The quality of too many of our new releases has really missed the mark." Employees blame the weak slate on former president David Haddad www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

    This was the leadership group at Monolith on the Middle-earth games. Every single one of these people left in 2021 after Warner canceled their game. (Most started a new studio with EA.) Monolith then began working on Wonder Woman — but it simultaneously had to rebuild its entire leadership team!

    By the time David Zaslav took over WB Discovery in April 2022, Monolith had already gone almost five years without shipping a game and lost almost its entire leadership team under Haddad's management

    So, this past week, MONOLITH studios, maker of brilliant games, including GoTY, was closed down. This is a loss to gaming and storytelling both. I worked as a consultant on what would have been a beautiful Wonder Woman game, full of action, thrills and heart, along with an incredible team. Sad.

    Lots of other folks followed them, too. Warner Bros. Games, under president David Haddad, put Monolith in the impossible situation of having to simultaneously rebuild a studio while starting a new game from scratch. Of course it didn't work out.

    Capitalism—with its cancerous obsession with infinite growth—Ruins. Everything. The game industry is a perfect example, where legendary game studios with a rich and important history like Monolith, can just get snuffed out because an end-of-quarter balance report didn't please some shareholders.

    Despite being a crossover between Namco and Capcom developed by Monolith Soft that entirely predates the merger with Bandai and features no Bandai IP, Namco x Capcom is actually a Bandai game.

    Switch 2 isn't a PS5. However, from the game comparisons we are seeing, it can be more capable than a PS4 or even Xbox Series S. It's a substantial leap over Switch. Monolith Soft working on a large scale RPG that could look like this (or better) is very exciting.
