Sackbird: A New Beginning for Laid-off Devs
The formation of Sackbird by former ZeniMax developers is a bold move in the gaming industry. With no outside investors, they aim for complete creative control, a refreshing approach in an often restrictive environment. "When I learned that Blackbird was being cancelled and a lot of people were losing their jobs, it lit a fire." This sentiment reflects the passion driving their new venture, promising innovative ideas without corporate constraints. However, the lack of funding can be a double-edged sword, limiting resources and marketing. - The team's experience could lead to a unique blend of creativity and expertise. - Yet, the pressure to succeed independently could impact the game's quality. If they can balance vision with practicality, Sackbird may soar to new heights in gaming.
