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

== 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 [https://www.supermassivegames.com/news/nordisk_partnership company].[[User:Inadvertent Consequences|Inadvertent Consequences]] ([[User talk: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.[https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/scarletshroud/686869339374272512?source=share][https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1537087099383427078][https://gamingtrend.com/feature/reviews/the-quarry-review-nightmare-believer/][https://www.theaustralian.com.au/the-oz/internet/a-horror-movie-where-the-teenagers-listen-as-you-scream-at-the-tv/news-story/6df490be96dcb476fe0f4be5ae0f5933] 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?

:We should only add these if they are covered by [[WP:VG/RS|reliable sources]] and formal articles. [[User:OceanHok|OceanHok]] ([[User talk:OceanHok|talk]]) 16:28, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

== Co-founders have stepped down ==

According to this [https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/06096443/filing-history]. Can this be added? [[User:Timur9008|Timur9008]] ([[User talk:Timur9008|talk]]) 12:29, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

:[[User:IceWelder]],[[User:OceanHok]] should we wait for some news outlet to pick up the story? [[User:Timur9008|Timur9008]] ([[User talk: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. [https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/06574738/filing-history 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 [https://gamerant.com/supermassive-games-co-founders-pete-samuels-joe-samuels-stepping-down/ Game Rant] has already reported (based on [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7155923534500806656/ a LinkedIn post]) that the pair is indeed stepping down and Robert Henrysson taking over as CEO.

::::VGC posted [https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/supermassive-games-co-founders-have-left-the-company/ this] less than two hours after my latest comment. Go figure.

:::::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. [[User:Timur9008|Timur9008]] ([[User talk:Timur9008|talk]]) 15:29, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

== Merge proposal ==

I'm proposing to merge [[List of games by Supermassive Games]] into this article. It's pros are a reworded version of the intro and history section of this article, the list of games itself does not seem substantive enough to have its own article. Having said that, there is some missing context in this article that I believe is notable to bring over here, the texts should be carefully merged, as well as a number of sources.

*'''Oppose''' Valid navigational list, as most of their games are individually notable. No different from everything else at [[:Category:Video game lists by company]]. [[User:Zxcvbnm|ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ]] ([[User talk:Zxcvbnm|ᴛ]]) 12:17, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' As the creator of the list, I still feel as I did in 2024 when I made it, that the games have enough notoriety on their own and that the table was starting to get long enough that a split was fine to do. The list went through FLC soon after creation and no big concerns with its existence were brought up then, which I think would have happened if there were any major concerns. -- '''[[User:ZooBlazer|<span style="background:#E03A3E; color:#000000; padding:2px;">Zoo</span>]][[User talk:ZooBlazer|<span style="background:#000000; color:#E03A3E; padding:2px;">Blazer</span>]]''' 20:41, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
