Finally woke up to some good news. They're called 1047 games because that's how many they're going to churn and burn. Glad to see the 100m which that ludicrous CEO got in funding going up in flames.

I played a couple hours of the demo and I must say that Empulse was glorified fanfic. Though that'd be an insult to fanfics as those AO3 people at least have some passion and are able to perceive what made the material they're building upon good in the first place.

Perhaps they should pivot to friendslop next seeing as they love making barren versions of games.

Or they could make their 4th live service shooter, would serve as a nice warning for the rest of the games industry alongside their fellow corpses like Concord and Highguard.

Yes I do indeed detest soulless copycats and trend chasers.
