Sebastien Benard is the co-founder of the famous Motion Twin development team behind Dead Cells, on which Benard worked as a designer until he left the development team in 2020 to establish the new development team Deepnight Games. In 2019, the Motion Twin development team formed the separate entity Evil Empire to work on updates for Dead Cells.
The team recently announced the cessation of support for the game and that the next update will be its last after 5 years of free updates and additional content. Benard criticized the cessation of support for the game, saying that the statement that was issued in this regard is marketing nonsense in response to a question from a follower on the Discord platform.
According to Benard’s knowledge of the internal situation, Motion Twin’s decision to stop supporting Dead Cells had a negative impact on Evil Empire, and arriving at this decision was not consensual as it appears. He did not expect his former colleagues to turn into such greedy people, and he wishes the workers at Evil Empire success and the ability to survive. Of the negative economic impact of this decision.
