NetEase Continues to Close Game Studios: Bad Brain Game Studios to Shut Down
NetEase, the Chinese publisher, is once again in the spotlight for closing down another game studio. This time, Bad Brain Game Studios, founded just two years ago, is set to shut its doors for good. The closure is scheduled for November 17th, the same day as another NetEase studio, adding to the growing list of studios that have faced a similar fate.
Bad Brain Game Studios, led by former lead producer, had initially shown promise in the gaming industry. However, the inability to secure new funding or find a new direction has led to the decision to disband the studio. This news comes as a blow to the developers and fans who had hoped for the studio’s success.
NetEase’s pattern of closing game studios has raised concerns within the gaming community. The recent closures have left many talented developers without jobs and have also impacted the projects that were in development. The future of the gaming industry, especially in relation to NetEase’s involvement, remains uncertain.
As the gaming world reacts to yet another studio closure, the focus now shifts to the developers affected by this decision. While some may find new opportunities in other studios or companies, others may face challenges in finding suitable employment. The impact of these closures goes beyond just the studios themselves, affecting the individuals and families associated with them.
With Bad Brain Game Studios joining the list of closed studios under NetEase, the gaming industry braces for more changes and uncertainties. The hope remains that the talented developers and creatives affected by these closures will find new avenues to showcase their skills and continue to contribute to the gaming landscape.
