Nordisk Film Are Not ‘The Owners’
[edit]Nordisk are ‘minority owner’ shareholders, the (privately held) controlling shareholders are the original team of developers that founded the company.Inadvertent Consequences (talk) 20:12, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
Controversy Section?
[edit]It seems Supermassive is a repeat offender for pretty heavy handed racial slurs and cultural appropriation. I have not seen a formal article on it, but there are numerous complaints online about using a racial slur for the Romani people in its latest game: The Quarry.[1][2][3][4] And one of those links mentions that the prior games did similar things for Indigenous peoples. I'm not well researched on this so I can't find too much information right now, but this seems worth mentioning in the article? BlinksTale (talk) 04:14, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- We should only add these if they are covered by reliable sources and formal articles. OceanHok (talk) 16:28, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
Co-founders have stepped down
[edit]According to this [5]. Can this be added? Timur9008 (talk) 12:29, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- User:IceWelder,User:OceanHok should we wait for some news outlet to pick up the story? Timur9008 (talk) 12:38, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- For now, this is just a legal/formal change: Nordisk owns Supermassive, so having Nordisk representatives as legal directors for the company they control makes sense. It was so with Rockstar Dundee: Take-Two bought the company and appointed its own directors while the former Ruffian directors still run the business at the studio. The only real difference I can see in this case is that this Graeme Law fellow has a track record in liquidating companies, indicating that Supermassive may be shut down or restructured, but that's just my interpretation.

- Hmm, apparently Game Rant has already reported (based on a LinkedIn post) that the pair is indeed stepping down and Robert Henrysson taking over as CEO. IceWelder [✉] 12:59, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- VGC posted this less than two hours after my latest comment. Go figure. IceWelder [✉] 14:52, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- I went ahead and added the source. Chris Scullion (the writter of that VGC article) follows me on Twitter/X ;) He probably saw my post regarding Supermassive Games and decided to make the article. Timur9008 (talk) 15:29, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
