I just want to say that I love all the people at Arkane Austin so much. Great times, hard times, we went through so much, together. Of course, today's news is terrible, for all of us. Your talent will lift you up, and I will do anything I can to help.

Hey, y’all, as you might have seen, we've decided to delay the launch of #Redfall . The team needs more time to bring the game to life. Thank you so much for your continued support. Redfall is our most ambitious game yet, and we can’t wait to show it off, soon.

This seems important. “Don’t let your art be sullied by commerce” is fine. But so is making rent, being able to eat. And ‘starving artist/life on a friend’s couch’ is a horrible idea if your health faulters, you have a kid, get older, or ya know live in this dog eat dog system.
