This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Tero Virtala has stepped down as Remedy CEO with immediate effect. Virtala, who was appointed CEO in 2016, will continue to work for the developer for an "agreed transition period" while it begins the process of appointing a new leader.

Remedy co-founder and chief product officer Markus Mäki will take on the role of interim CEO, effective as of today (October 22). Mäki has been on the developer's board of directors since 1995, and is also chairman of the board. As Mäki becomes interim CEO, Henri Österlund will take over Mäki's previous role as chairman of the board. Österlund has been a board member since 2017.

"I want to thank Tero Virtala for his substantial contribution to the management of Remedy since 2016," said Mäki. "I personally thank Tero for good cooperation and wish him all the best for the future."

Last week, Remedy announced it would be adjusting its financial outlook for 2025 following "weak sales" of its first multiplayer title, FBC Firebreak. It recognised a non-cash impairment of €14.9 million, representing the game's development costs alongside publishing and distribution rights.

Remedy previously forecast both its revenue and operating profit would increase from the previous year. It now estimates a decrease in operating profit as Firebreak did not meet "internal targets."
