On X, he wrote:
“The modern audience is a myth. Data confirms: making games for them is a path to extinction.”
According to Tyminski, striving to please an abstract group leads to excessive interference from external consultants such as Sweet Baby Inc., which often sparks backlash from fans.
During the release of Lords of the Fallen, the studio emphasized: political agendas will not appear in their projects. The developers even feared attacks from proponents of DEI initiatives (diversity, equity, and inclusion), but decided to stand their ground. Tyminski is confident: an honest and cohesive game is more important than trends.
Recently, the creators of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 also faced a similar issue. However, they hired consultants to avoid controversies that could hurt the game.
Meanwhile, the failure of the ostensibly “modern-oriented” Concord clearly demonstrates that success depends not on adhering to an agenda, but on the quality and creative vision of the game.
