    [​IMG]IGN interviewed Spider's creative director Jehanne Rousseau and Focus Home Interactive CEO Cédric Lagarrigue. The interview goes into the making of 2016's The Technomancer and what its 'B-grade royalty' means for 2018's GreedFall.

    "This sector is indeed on a roll," says Cédric Lagarrigue, Focus Home Interactive's CEO. "The most popular games on PC are often 'B-grade' games. A glance on Steam lets us to see that. There's less of them on consoles as the barriers to enter are rather high, and the market is very structured with few releases per week, mostly blockbusters. However, this trend is changing, notably thanks to digitalisation. This is akin to cinema - the audience needs diversity, they will not only go watch super hero flicks or Star Wars movies. They also need to go watch Get Out, It, or La La Land."

    Every generation has seemed to have its maestro of mid-tier misfire. For the seventh, it was arguably Alpha Protocol. The Technomancer is the most imperfectly perfect example of a B-grade video game produced by gaming's eighth. It's even a curiously unlabelled descendent of 2013's Mars: War Logs, a kind of hilarious inversion of how something like Troll 2 isn't actually the sequel to Troll (and was originally titled Goblins, having no trolls in it).
