7 years and they still weren't close to shipping the game?

Microsoft were right to smother this project with a pillow.

Studios that don't deliver will get the axe

Laura Fryer was right in her evaluation of Obsidian, at least they deliver, they get to the finish line. 7 years and still nowhere near release? Trailer made that would not even be indicative of final game? Leeches. Any publisher other than Microsoft with near infinite money glitch would have cancelled it years ago.

The original game is my favorite of all time but it was hard for me to care about this one because I feel like it would have been just another shooter and that trailer they put out a year ago didn't inspire much confidence. I feel like the only reason people wanted this game so bad is because they loved the original and they were desperate for another one even if it ended up being just an okay game.

Xbox management knows exactly what they are doing.

they do not need studios to make said games.

How many studio's have bought, cancelled games and shut down studios.

One maybe two studios you could give them the benefit of the doubt. But when MS have cancelled this many games and studios, it's quite obvious who the problem is.

All these publishers and studios they bought can't be this collectively bad.

this but the same time wtf were they doing for 7 years????

How many publishers claim they were making a AAAA game?

Google says the studio formed June 2018. A touch more than 7 years ago.

It was ao long ago, Luka Doncic wasnt even in the league yet. And Lebron was still on Cavs. Luka would enter the NBA and Lebron on Lakers in fall 2018 when the new season started. For you Marvel fans, Avengers Endgame wouldnt be out for another year. Covid wouldnt hit the world for almost two more years when shit hit the fan early 2020.

In terms of gaming, PS5 and SX wouldnt release for about 2.5 more years in fall 2020, Apex Legends wasnt even out yet (2019), COD was at Black Ops 4 and Spiderman 1 on PS4 would come out later in the year.

But give any longtime employee credit for grifting 7 years of salary. A half decent role there should had easily made over $1M of salary releasing zero games.

Ubisoft with Skull & Bones

I guess that explains Joanna's man chin.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Microsoft had so few games coming out that they had to make Hellblade 2 their flagship title.

What does that have to do with anything? At one point for sure they believed the team/director would pull it off but they went off rail.

I mean would any publishers ever invest for >5 years massive studio if they didn't believe in a project?
