Super Meat Boy Forever Delayed To Maintain A Healthy Workplace

Team Meat, the development team working on the upcoming Super Meat Boy Forever, has announced a delay to the game, citing an effort to keep their employees happy and healthy as the reason why.

According to a post on Twitter, the development team announced that the game, originally marked for an April 2019 release, would be delayed past that. They explain that in order to have achieved this date, they would have had to enforce stressful and unhealthy work schedules on their staff.

"We could have sacrificed our minds, bodies, and social lives to make April 2019 but that's stupid. Team Meat isn't some studio owned by an Evil Asshat corporation that has say over what we do and how we do it. We are fortunate enough to have control over how we work and we choose not to run ourselves into the ground."

Yes, we noticed that Evil Asshat is abbreviated to EA.

This announcement comes not long after Anthem, the mixed-reception action game by BioWare, was put under a scrutinous eye for immoral and unrealistic work expectations on the staff.

This remains an even longer wait for the game, however. Super Meat Boy Forever was announced back in 2014. Since that time, it has gone through platform changes, staff shifting (including the departure of game creator Edmund McMillen), and a reboot or two.

The team did not provide an expected release date at this time. But honestly, who are we to complain? They can take as much time as they need.
