best thing EA can do is just drop the rights to it back to American McGee and let him fumble his way to a third game. His die hard fans, of which there are many, will love it but I imagine it would get critically panned just like all his other games with the exception of the first Alice.
Many former id guys when they go out on their own don’t have the best track record.
it’s because they’re afraid to rattle those cages. Same reason why it’s always “companies want workers to return to the office, here’s why” and never “Here’s WHY employees don’t want to return to the office”. They don’t want to piss off the powers that be for fear of hurting their already very fragile media business.
“oh you’re knocking our company for stagnate wages? for forcing people to come back to the office? ok well we’re going to directly hurt your ad revenue by pulling our ads from your paper/site”
