She expressed that she was “worried” for System Shock 3 and OtherSide Entertainment, even though creative director Warren Spector was content that the company could stand on its own two feet. It hurts to see many of these developers out of a job on a project they worked so hard on.” “Having played the internal SS3 demo, I know the Austin team worked their asses off and made some stunning progress in the past couple of months.

“I want to say, having been at OSE while layoffs were happening and having left just before this next round in Austin, I deeply admired every single developer I had the chance to work with,” said Sam Luangkhot at the end of last year. It is worrying to lose that many people in the past five months, and a former community manager was able to confirm that these people had been let go by the company.

The System Shock 3 writer and director, design director, senior designer, lead programmer, QA lead, senior environment artist and others have changed their LinkedIn profiles to show they no longer work for OtherSide Entertainment.

System Shock now appears to be part of that strategy, but it really remains to be seen what Tencent intends to do with that series. They’ve even recently hired key talent from major developers in order to help advance their interest in developing more Triple-A games. Recently, Tencent as indicated that they’re interested in expanding more into internal Triple-A gaming as well as continuing to invest in other companies and their own lucrative mobile titles. What we’re trying to say is that they’ve relatively quietly become one of the biggest names in gaming that many people still don’t know about. Their various interests include full ownership of developer Riot Games, 40% ownership of Fortnite developer Epic Games, 5% ownership of Activision/Blizzard, and 5% ownership of Ubisoft. For those who don’t know, Tencent is a multinational holding company that invests heavily in technology and entertainment. As for Tencent, moves like this only solidify their power and influence on the industry.
