Alex was let go because he was "hard to work with"

No one gives a fuck about Lab Zero until there's some drama then you actual gossiping old ladies can't shut the fuck up about it. You faggots are insufferable.

Character creator, main artist, world builder, responsible for everything that is Skulglirls - gone.

Lead programmer, game designer, one responsible for balance and mechanics alongside quality assurance - gone.

The game is literally in the hands of literalwhos that were contracted to do work on it now off some vague stretched statements that were public in a cancellation attempt.

These games really were doomed from the start.

Alex has been very discrete and we don't really know what went on behind closed doors. EU03's little slip of the tongue was the first bit of evidence that his departure had been anything but amicable.

My personal theory is that the new blood in the company wanted to take control, and took advantage of Mike being a cringe douchebag retard to do it. Mike for his part probably thought he was in a "safe space" where making sex and race jokes openly was fine because the multicultural team of onions-fed Californians he had assembled was one big happy open family who could discuss anything. This of course made him an easy target to suddenly vilify for making everyone uncomfortable and stressed out, the greatest sins of all.

Mariel's recent statement reeks of it
>Mike and I were good friends who worked great together :), until people started complaining and I searched my memories to discover he was actually an awful person who traumatized me without me realizing it :(
Granted, propositioning an employee is an obvious no-no in that kind of environment, but it hardly justifies destroying 20 years of someone's life.

As big of a bluepilled cunt as he is, I can't help but feel bad for the guy now. 20 years of work down the drain, guy was living the dream and now everything he worked for is gone. He can't even play his own fucking video game or show up at tournaments for his favorite game genre because he's been community banned and is now a hated pariah everywhere. Shit's sad as fuck. Best I can hope for the poor guy is one of his old pandemic friends gets him a job as a code monkey in some aaa studio, would hate to imagine the guy retire into burger flipping for the rest of his days.

>no one behind the original ideas left working on sg or indivisible beyond artists who were contracted to do animation
Autumn Games owns the Skullgirls IP, and the other studio that isn't Lab Zeroes is behind Skullgirls Mobile. Both cut ties with Lab Zero, which is just Mike Z now. Stop spreading misinformation, the rest of the people who left Lab Zero are going to keep working on Skullgirls through Autumn Games.

i know a couple of these artists and can safely say how theyre bullshitting which is why so many people turned around last second to suddenly strike at mike. its why you cant just handle this professionally and need to make it a massive twitter character assassination attempt, mike is difficult to work with because you retards are difficult to work with. those "sexual jokes" he made were on par with the kind everyone internally were making including some of these accusers. you reserved it as ammunition for later when convenient.

and none of them were what made skullgirls function beyond animation work. mike made the game what it was, alex was responsible for the art direction and designs. they literally had their hard work stripped off them by some contracted animators now due to some cancel culture shit.

>it's was not his fault he didn't have to be professionals because I respect feelings you know
Lmao, go rot at the wellfare line, faggot.

>i know legally im not supposed to bring this up but ummm he was mean and i hate him and you should too???

alex ahad lawsuit 2 boogaloo when?

It's obvious that their bad luck in terms of finance, indivisible's development and failure broke them collectively to the point where Alex and the CEO left before it released, and that Mike's spergness couldn't be tolerated by everyone no longer so they tried to oust him.
It's an assumption, but just think about it logically. Not to mention LZ going back to release major updates on skullgirls (fighting game, not mobile) this year.

The fact that he didn't back down and told them all to fuck off means he's probably got enough backbone to continue making games. If he want's to get away from pointless internet drama he just has to move his studio out of California.

Dude could literally walk into Riot if he wanted, they'll take anyone with a name.
>Inb4 he publically burned bridges
Like Riot gives a fuck

Yeah it’s ridiculous. All it means is that the settlement didn’t psychologically satisfy the poster, so they’re going to write myopic posts about how heroic and sensitive they are for not liking a guy for unnamed reasons.

Why would anyone want to become a soulless corporate bootlicker after being a successful indie dev? that's 50 steps backward.

i want skullgirls to die hard enough it becomes public domain through some weird legal loophole

If you don't have cash you go make cash at a studio and use it bankroll your own shit. Thats how things actually get done in the real world, sometimes you gotta do shit that sucks to do the shit you want to do.

>tried to cancel newgrounds for being "gross" last year
>now this
have a suspicion there's exaggeration going on

People need to know they were a victim! That takes priority over professionalism and the law!

>this mess has been overly dramatic to some extent
Surely those who preach tolerance wouldn't be like that.

The guy likely has more than enough money to keep making indie games with other artists just fine. You guys need to stop being dramatic.

*discreet

people make drama after being fired to clean their name on likedin to get a new job. If you manage to make your ex boss look like an ass and you are the victim, you can even get a better job because of the victim points in the current environment. Nobody is going to check why you got fired after all.

>Alex keeps doing what he does without making giant public bitchfits about cancelling artists
>The animators whining have already attempted cancelling other artists in the past
Something smells fishy.

>The animators whining have already attempted cancelling other artists in the past

Intrigued, tell me more.

I think he's got more than enough money from 2 pretty successful indies. Lab zero fought to receive royalties from skullgirls also. Working at a AAA studio is the slowest way to make money, this is why every talented long term riot employee would rather be making their own shit or doing freelance.

>just think about it logically.
