Can tencent just shut down as a whole and do humaa favor?

Honestly tencent is so big it's basically asking for a small country to lose their job.

I tend to think we should always point the fingers at the leaders/higher ups and not a business as a whole.

You should probably point down and a little to the side at the board of directors or whoever is hiring the leadership.

..and then pull the trigger.

On a quick-ish search, the only info I found on Team Kaiju was that it had some people that worked on recent Battlefield and Halo. Tencent bought it sometime in late 2021, apparently. Didn't look like they finished any games in the meantime.

Who?

[–] Darkncoldbard@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

"Team Kaiju was working on an AAA multiplayer game, and the studio was co-founded by former Halo 4 design director Scott Warner and Battlefield veteran Rosi Zagorcheva. Warner left in April this year, and Zagorcheva in April 2022."

Apparently nobody
