Remedy CEO on own IP 🎮 Destruction AllStars delisted 🗑️
Remedy's new CEO Jean-Charles Gaudechon said the studio will prioritize its own IP and maximize core franchises after learning from FBC: Firebreak's underperformance.

Gaudechon cited entering a new genre as a larger leap than anticipated and noted learnings around self-publishing, positioning, and community management. Remedy plans to expand established IPs like Control Resonant at larger scale. (GamesIndustry.biz)
