The Shocking and Frustrating Shutdown of Monolith Studios | Unpacked
🕑 Added 2025-02-28 16:03:30 +0000 UTCThis week on Unpacked, we’re unfortunately talking about more layoffs yet again, taking another look at the NetEase story from last week as more details have come out, and wrapping up the week on a more positive note with a bunch of my personal recommendations out of Steam Next Fest.

Saw "Monolith" and panicked because I thought this was about Monolith Soft. Never heard of Monolith Studios.

In theory the WB Nemesis System patent could be licensed to somebody else. Sadly we all know software patents are used to restrict spead of ideas, not encourage spread as the patent system is intended to do.

Player First also really shocked me... I don't know how they went with Multiversus doing pretty well in open beta, to completely fucking up their launches. So much wasted potential.

I got an email from WB this morning letting me know the jobs at Monolith I applied for no longer exist.
