No idea what to make of this. Feels really random, but I guess we knew that Darkest Dungeon 2 didn’t do as well as they wanted it to.

    Maybe it didn’t do as well as they’d hoped, but back of the napkin guesstimates sure make it hard to believe DD2 wasn’t profitable.

      I read it more like they did well, but after a decade making the same game in a couple of iterations, they just want to be done. So sell the company, make 10x what you could running it, and just head on out.

      I played it in alpha (?) when it first came out and it was alright. I played it for like 3 hours, but never felt a desire to revisit it.

        Darkest Dungeon was just one of them titles that isn’t that suited for a sequel.
