Compulsion Games @CompulsionGames blocks @SmashJT, @kabrutusrambo, myself and others as they post tepid gameplay trailer for SBI game "South by Midnight" releasing in 2025
The community manager hates gamers, Asians and whites and has locked their account down.
Recap of my original story when insiders came forward to talk about the problems with the game and studio:
UPDATE: More ex-developers come forth about Sweet Baby Inc. project, South of Midnight, by @CompulsionGames
- The Community Mgr is still protected after saying she hates gamers and has a problem with Asian & White people.
- Main character was race swapped in order to better reflect a tale set in the deep South after MS and SBI involvement.
- The team that created their past celebrated title, "We Happy Few," is mostly gone, leaving after being disillusioned about changes after the XBOX MS and SBI involvement, studio politics, and more.
- Less than 10% of the original "We Happy Few" team remains.
- Promotion of non qualified staff to lead and management positions resulted in a mess of a project. "No idea how to make a game."
- SBI and a POC writer were brought on board to help with a more authentic perspective.
- The gamer hating community manger, @Pikachulita is cited on one of the many incompetent staff promoted or hired into senior positions who does no actual work.
- Devs paint a picture of a passion project by the Creative Director, who grew up in the South, gone awry after MS money. Project in poor state of development, good devs with good intentions being ham-strung by poor hires and promotions not based on merit, and very poor community management. "There are many good people there."
