Cruel Territories vs. Lekox: The Last Interview Before Bankruptcy
After a war that lasted longer than a Mexican soap opera, one side finally came out on top and the other went straight to a meeting with the accountant. While Pedrinho, CEO of Cruel Territories, is busy making a fool of himself with his money, Carpilo, CEO of Lekox, is trying to figure out whether it's worth selling the company or opening a food truck.
Below are the interviews that show the contrast between a triumphant empire and a company on the verge of taking out a loan in its grandmother's name.

Pedrinho, CEO of Cruel Territories: "The War is Ours!"
What's it like to come out on top in this war?
"Incredible! I knew we had the potential to win, but not even in my wildest dreams did I imagine that the victory would be so overwhelming. I thank the fans, who supported us, bought all the DLCs and financed my new mansion."
What was the secret to Cruel Territories' success?
"Our boldness, creativity and the fact that our protagonist didn't abandon his family to escape a tsunami."
What did you think of Lekox's performance?
"We always respect Lekox... but they made a big mistake, a big mistake. Alexandre Pargaz 7 felt like a divorce simulator mixed with a natural disaster."
Plans for the future?
"Expand, innovate and, of course, continue to explore our players' love for buying microtransactions. Maybe a Phame Battle Royale? You never know."

Carpilo, CEO of Lekox: "We're in Shock (And No Money)"
How are you feeling?
"We're in shock. And by 'shock', I mean our finance department is in a coma."
What went wrong?
"We thought people still liked Alexandre Pargaz, but apparently no one wants to play a post-marital escape simulator."
What is the current situation at Lekox?
"If things were worse, I would already be on LinkedIn updating my resume. We are considering selling our copyrights to an indie studio or simply declaring bankruptcy and pretending nothing happened."
Plans for the future?
"First, pay the employees (if we can). Then, release something that doesn't involve a cowardly protagonist fleeing a natural disaster."

Conclusion: One Wins, the Other Needs a Miracle
Cruel Territories has dominated the market, while Lekox is in such bad shape that it may be bought by a bankrupt cryptocurrency company. With Pedrinho already planning new ways to siphon money from players and Carpilo considering an Alexandre Pargaz-style escape plan, the future of gaming has never been so uncertain... and fun to watch.
Now, the real question is: how long until Lekox tries a desperate reboot?
Lekox Has Gone Bankrupt: The Last Save Has Been Corrupted
And so the journey of Lekox, the developer that once dominated gaming and now can't even pay its electricity bill, has come to an end. After years of fighting against Cruel Territories, the company finally used the /surrender command and left the industry.
Now, the gaming world is witnessing a true "corporate game over", with emotional headlines and nostalgic gamers pretending to have bought the company's latest games.

Funeral Headlines
The biggest gaming portals, always neutral and impartial (but not really), have already released their in-depth analyses of the collapse:
IGN Brazil: "Lekox Bankruptcy: A Giant of the Gaming Industry Falls (And They Couldn't Even Sell the Bankruptcy DLC)"
GameSpot: "Lekox: From Success to Failure in One Generation (And What a Bad Generation, Let's Be Honest)"
Game Informer: "The End of an Era: Lekox Closes Its Doors After Years of Success and Failure (More Failure Than Success, But Okay)"
The commotion was instantaneous, and players began posting emotional tributes while deleting their pirated copies of Alexandre Pargaz.

The Lament of Fans (Or Opportunists?)
On gaming forums and social media, people were crying out loud:
"I can't believe Lekox went bankrupt! Alexandre Pargaz was my favorite game! (Even though I never bought an original)"
"How sad! Lekox always surprised us! (Especially with bad endings and eternal bugs)"
"Rest in peace, Lekox. Your games will be remembered forever. (Especially when they're free on the Epic Games Store)"
Even experts tried to give a more serious tone to the corporate tragedy:
"Lekox's bankruptcy is a loss for the gaming industry. Now all that's left are remakes and games with battle passes" – Newzoo Consultant
"Lekox showed that it's possible to create original and successful games, even without money. The problem is that they continued without money" – Forbes Expert
"Lekox's bankruptcy serves as a warning to other companies: innovate or be forgotten like the PlayStation Vita games" – NPD Group Analyst

The Legacy of Lekox: From Giant to Cautionary for Entrepreneurs
In the end, Lekox left an undeniable legacy: it taught everyone that if you don't innovate, the market will erase you like a save without a backup. Its biggest mistake was betting that Alexandre Pargaz's fans would buy anything, when in fact they were just waiting for an excuse to complain on Twitter.
Now, Lekox's only hope is to be bought by some big company, like a Pokémon that has lost all its battles and is waiting for a new trainer. Meanwhile, Cruel Territories continues laughing all the way to the bank.
Game over, Lekox. No continues.
