Certain, Stellar Blade is not to everybody’s tastes, however the whole workers bought a money bonus alongside a PS5 Professional, which is fairly good actually.
Relying on who you ask, Stellar Blade is both a sport not even value acknowledging, an important sport ever made, or simply fairly good, actually. The dialog round it has principally simply been annoying, particularly in a yr that is been so tough on the video games business, so, how about some good information out of developer Shift Up! As noticed by VGC, a Shift Up consultant lately spoke with South Korean outlet Naver, the place it was shared that all the roughly 300 workers on the studio had been gifted a PS5 Professional – that bloody costly console folks have already stopped speaking about – and that they will even be getting a bonus of 5 million received (which is about $3400).
In line with the consultant, the intention behind the bonuses was to encourage present expertise on the firm. Contemplating what number of layoffs occurred final yr (it is estimated to be greater than 14,000), to listen to that an organization really desires to retain and even reward its workers is encouraging – let’s simply hope that the workers’s salaries are wholesome sufficient with out the bonuses too.
Preliminary gross sales of Stellar Blade had been humble in comparison with different huge Sony titles, estimated to be round a million, however for a brand new IP it is a wholesome begin, and with a PC launch coming this yr and an expectation from Shift Up that it will promote even higher there, I am certain the developer is not all that anxious. The one concern it may need is a lawsuit that was filed towards it and Sony final September over the person of the sport’s title, Stellar Blade, as a movie firm, Stellarblade, has alleged that the usage of the title is damaging enterprise and infringing on the trademark.
