developers close forever. What a Live Service games does to a mf.

may be dead now but that’s on . They bought a project that released late, over budget, pricey and and without player base.

Thanks, Jim Fucking Ryan!

The entire situation is just so fucking sad. Years of hard work, then the game finally comes out and is axed after only two weeks, and now announcing that the studio will close. Insane management incompetence from Sony, feeling bad for all the devs who'll lose their jobs. What sucks extra hard is that no one will ever be able to play the game. sonyinteractive.com/en/news/bl

Is kinda funny how a game still on development, and invite-only with playmaking scheduled, can humiliate a game like that took 8 years and USD $400M.

cost USD $400 millions.

This means is going to be snapped out of existence. I wonder how will try to fill that hole in their books.

Now that is dead, this video is great dissecting where it failed, and where it won.

TL;DR: No mtx. Competitive was raison d'être.
