Ori And The Will Of The Wisps

After a colourful rant towards the development practices in games such as No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk 2077, director of the Ori series, Thomas Mahler, has apologised for the comments he made.

In the lengthy post, Mahler compared certain developers on games such as the original Fable and Cyberpunk 2077 as being "snake oil salesman", who have lied to consumers about the games they are crafting. While Mahler's stance on the position appears unmoved, he's since apologised for his "aggressive tone" and has said he's "really sorry" - especially to those he mentioned by name.

The initial thread drew criticism from the gaming community, most notably in the replies, which felt Mahler wasn't in a position to attack his peers. However, comments to the apology seemingly connect with Mahler's sentiments more.

What are your thoughts on Mahler's opinion? Let us know in the comments below.
