FPS devs put two bullets in Steam's dumbest debate and move up Wardogs release date: "Player numbers will undoubtedly decline significantly," but that "will not deter us"First-person shooter Wardogs is launching in Steam Early Access earlier than expected this summer. Developer Bulkhead stated their goal is to build a sustainable community of 3,000 to 5,000 players, acknowledging that player numbers will likely decline after the initial release but asserting this will not deter them. The studio is pushing the release forward due to positive internal testing feedback and optimization.
"They wouldn't look at any game that was less than £50 million" Why Tencent's all-in strategy didn't suit BulkheadBulkhead, a studio acquired by Tencent via Splash Damage, found the parent company's demand for games with budgets over £50 million unsuited to their development style. Despite initial success with Battalion 1944 and pitching the PC shooter Wardogs, Tencent's scale led to Bulkhead spinning out into a new holding company, Super Media Group, with Team17 and Hiro Capital. The studio is now focused on Wardogs, aiming for a sustainable player base rather than massive AAA success.
