It's not you, I'm probably on the opposite spectrum, being overly pessimistic. I'm not criticising this acquisition in particular and you're right, we can't know how this will go ; it's more of a jab at the industry as a whole : a lot of new releases are advertised as being made by ex devs of whatever studio was once praised, and turn out to be ersatz of the original material (Back 4 Blood, Stormgate, Kerbal Space Program...). This kind of marketing is super disingenuous!
