Better known today as the developer of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda once had a well-respected racing game franchise and were deep into development of a licensed Skip Barber Racing title that never released.
First seen in sim racing with NASCAR Racing (1994).
Join Jon Denton, Tim Wheatley, Simon Croft and guest(s) as they discuss sim racing and racing games past, present and future.
Embracer, the parent company of Milestone, Plaion and Saber, has announced that the ongoing restructuring and layoffs totaling 904 people has reduced their debt to $1.4 billion. They have improved 31% in a year, with a 13% rise in net sales, too.
The company has reviewed upcoming games, projects under Plaion and Saber affected, and while nothing is mentioned of Milestone I think anyone reporting news will have noticed a significant reduction in product support and marketing. A clear example would be the re-born Superbike “franchise” that was announced, released, barely patched and abandoned (one title isn’t a franchise) back in 2022.
The company warned more layoffs and cost reductions should be expected.
