Former Dead Cells Designer Criticizes Motion Twin's Decision to End Updates as Self-Serving Move
-
Former Dead Cells lead designer Sébastien Benard believes ending updates is an "asshole move" against the game and its current developers, Evil Empire

He feels it's a "marketing stunt" to clear room for Motion Twin's new game Windblown

Evil Empire took over Dead Cells in 2019 and has supported it well, planning updates through 2024-2025

Benard speculates Motion Twin panicked over Evil Empire getting credit as the "true architects" of Dead Cells' success

He understands the strategy but feels it's a "one-way" decision that abandons the player base and Evil Empire employees
