Hello Games office rumored to be closed

[Leviathan]

Someone mentioned, that the doors are locked, no one to reach.

Others recite Sean Murray's tweet months ago, that their office is a size of a hot dog stand.

Rumors are rumors - with the money they made from NMS it would make more than enough sense to relocate to somewhere that is not prone to flooding and has purpose built HVAC.

While it would explain, it would be a little disappointing to fans that what they did with the silence was take a break from the last couple hectic months and move office though - since that pushes any development from the "tiny indie team" back another couple months.

My guess is that Sean currently lives in Mexico, under the codename "Korvax Sandworm".

I was just looking at the same image on reddit. Looks pretty dead to me. The only thing indicating HG are 2 stickes on the doors.

If that's the case, then Trump's wall just got 10 inches higher

I just posted this in another thread but feel it's quite relevant here:

I've heard people say stuff like "Their reputation is ruined" and "I'll never buy another game from them again". That doesn't matter to them. Their scheme worked and they became filthy rich from it. They don't NEED to continue business. They've won, they can now live a comfortable life with all of our money and never have to look back.

If you honestly believe anything else will happen, like content updates, etc. then you are dreaming. Why do you think they are remaining silent? It is the end, they have won and you will never see Sean Murray again.

As soon as you read or hear the word rumour take everything said after that word with as much grains of salt as required because such things couldn't be any more of an unreliable source of information regardless of the topic at hand.

well said, but that also means they essentially just commited a massive crime...

[Kietan]

How? They made a game, they released a game and they sold a game.. what's a crime about that? If they already shut down, there's no difference between that than a first or second party studio at EA or Microsoft.

was thinking the same, the door handle is facing the other way and the windows dont match, theres also the keypad on the wall, it seems to be another entrance on the same building.

did i defend hello games? i feel dirty now²

EDIT: if you zoom in you can still see the HG stickers on the doors so is certainly another entrance, or the back door where they ran from with ppls money :)

Agreed, certainly different.

Even if the same building, those are very clearly different shop/office/entries.

HG has enough legit reasons to get complained about without feeding the random bull.

EDIT: fixed odd url paste.
