Spoiler alert - if a studio founder is departing the studio before shipping the first game (this one) this tells you all you need to know.

Yep things are definitely on fire behind the scenes.

It's wild how someone can start a studio, employ hundreds of people, sell it for a fortune and when things look bad say "well, I'm out" and just walk away before the game is even out.

They still got time to tighten things up. Isn't that what these play tests are for? A mix between Fortnite and the Division sounds very interesting, but it seems like no matter what game Sony puts out, its going to get irrational hate no matter what. Even the sequel to Returnal has people saying its just going to " be more of the same".
They just need to make sure to nail the gameplay loop. If its fun, the gamers will come...

But, Jade Raymond! How could this be? Yet another live service game in a niche genre (heist? extraction?).
How many of these failures is it going to take before Sony stops pouring money into them?

Because of escalation of commitment. Look it up. It perfectly describes Sony's live service efforts.

Every time a Sony GAAS turd flops, the price of Dualsense increases by $5. I imagine the controller costing $100 in a year or two.

Some of these questions are rhetorical as I'm familiar with sunk cost fallacy. It's still mind boggling to me though.

Sony really did fuck up with this whole GaaS initiative.
...not that I'm complaining since this is a positive thing and - hopefully - will send the right message to their execs.

They'll take the wrong decisions like focusing on MAUs (which they are already doing because THEIR woke / AAAA games don't sell anymore) then they will do even more politically correct games + day one PC + subscriptions + mandatory 100% digital (to increase profit on each copie sold) like MS are doing in the aim of increasing their MAUs metrics. Which will work only at the beginning but is doomed to fail in the long term. They don't have trillions of dollars in the bank like MS to hide their losses with a neat Ponzi scheme of always buying company to artificially increase revenue.

This also shows how bad and stupid Sonys decision making process was. It is yet another shooter like people needed 7 Sony live service shooters.

Cant wait to fast forward through 2 hours of nonsense on that Sacred Symbols ep to get to the juicy Fairgames details.

Cancelled ? what's next, Marathon ?
Can they even afford cancelling 3 games (Concord included) ?
Just the optics man...it'd look t-e-r-r-i-b-l-e.
Again, this whole GAAS initiative they took absolutely backfired in the worst possible way(s).
