Phobia: Interview with the director of the Spanish horror gameCyberpunk 2077 cited as a negative example
In the text, in addition to mentioning that its total priority is the development of the game, Ebb Software also cited Cyberpunk 2077, by CD Projekt Red, as an example not to be followed. In a somewhat daring way, the text talks about how the hype could be a problem in the video game industry, in addition to citing the pressure that is imposed by shareholders.
"CD Projekt RED did great promotional work for Cyberpunk 2077, but that didn't help the final game. Cyberpunk 2077 should have been delayed by a year, but the hype and shareholder pressure was more important"
apology
A few days after the postponement announcement and the text that showed a company somewhat defensive, as well as exhibiting an aggressive tone, Ljubomir Peklar, CEO of Ebb Software, decided to speak out to apologize to fans, stating that no reason to attack the public.
"We may be tired, confused and frustrated with our own ineptitude, but there is no reason to attack you. For that, I apologize personally. I will do my best to make sure this kind of explosion doesn't happen again."
Scorn will release sometime in 2022 for Xbox Series X/S and PC.
