Please can you use the correct logo for Supermassive Games as the one currently showing is an old version. You can see the correct logo on the website here: http://www.supermassivegames.com/ I can provide if needed as I work at Supermassive Games. Thanks RetroRebel81 (talk) 16:59, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Nordisk Film Are Not ‘The Owners’

Nordisk are ‘minority owner’ shareholders, the (privately held) controlling shareholders are the original team of developers that founded the company.Inadvertent Consequences (talk) 20:12, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Controversy Section?

It seems Supermassive is a repeat offender for pretty heavy handed racial slurs and cultural appropriation. I have not seen a formal article on it, but there are numerous complaints online about using a racial slur for the Romani people in its latest game: The Quarry.[1][2][3][4] And one of those links mentions that the prior games did similar things for Indigenous peoples. I'm not well researched on this so I can't find too much information right now, but this seems worth mentioning in the article? BlinksTale (talk) 04:14, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

We should only add these if they are covered by reliable sources and formal articles. OceanHok (talk) 16:28, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Co-founders have stepped down

According to this [5]. Can this be added? Timur9008 (talk) 12:29, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

User:IceWelder,User:OceanHok should we wait for some news outlet to pick up the story? Timur9008 (talk) 12:38, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

For now, this is just a legal/formal change: Nordisk owns Supermassive, so having Nordisk representatives as legal directors for the company they control makes sense. It was so with Rockstar Dundee: Take-Two bought the company and appointed its own directors while the former Ruffian directors still run the business at the studio. The only real difference I can see in this case is that this Graeme Law fellow has a track record in liquidating companies, indicating that Supermassive may be shut down or restructured, but that's just my interpretation.

Hmm, apparently Game Rant has already reported (based on a LinkedIn post) that the pair is indeed stepping down and Robert Henrysson taking over as CEO. IceWelder [✉] 12:59, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

VGC posted this less than two hours after my latest comment. Go figure. IceWelder [✉] 14:52, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

I went ahead and added the source. Chris Scullion (the writter of that VGC article) follows me on Twitter/X ;) He probably saw my post regarding Supermassive Games and decided to make the article. Timur9008 (talk) 15:29, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
