Tencent closes TiMi Montreal — studio never shipped a game
Tencent has shut down TiMi Montreal, and the studio never shipped a game during its ~5 years.
What it means for gamers: fewer fresh AAA bets, more “wait, what were they making?†mystery, and yet another sign that big publishers are cutting anything that isn't immediately profitable.
Translation: expect fewer weird new IP swings and more sequels you can predict from orbit. The closure adds to a growing pattern of publishers retreating from experimental Western studios.
