The billboard lays out the start and end-dates of several studios. Where possible, I'll also go ahead and link to our coverage of their closures if you'd like to find out more:

  • Arkane Austin, 2006-2024.

  • Roll7, 2008-2024.

  • Tango Gameworks, 2010-2024.

  • Volition Inc., 1993-2023.

  • London Studio, 2002-2024.

If we’re gonna have capitalism can we at least have “make a healthy profit” capitalism and not “strip the copper out of the walls” capitalism

"Capitalism" includes the inevitable transformation from the first to the second

There's only one kind of capitalism.

All that changes about it is the rate of profit, which inevitably falls.

Love New Blood games, nice to see them taking a firm stance against the megacorpos.
