Yea we know grubb is an Xbox hatchet man and their payroll. He’s doesn’t know what’s going on with Sony; or if he does he won’t say for some reason.

I don’t believe someone who has a PS5 and “loves” it writes comments like this:You don't believe that someone can have a PS5 and think Abandoned looks like shit?

Notice “SonyGaf” and “they”, implying you are distinct from that group.

I hope no one is taking this personally, it’s fine to be wrong. I’m sure members of #TeamReal were wrong about things before too, obviously not this given the massive stack of evidence, but other things.

So Hasan has time to spend hours on twitter, have a interview with Jason but still hasn't got back to Geoff with those pics? (did I miss them?)...seems an odd choice for an indie that really wants to market his game in the best possible light to the biggest audience...

Hasans answers change from tweet to tweet, from article to article. Dude is constantly contradicting himself left and right. Can't even keep his lies straight.

Speaking with a Dutch accent, Kahraman said Abandoned has been in development since 2017, although the “concept was changed a lot of times.” He said the Blue Box team consists of 10 people and that he had outsourced work to several other studios, which accounted for the 50 figure he mentioned earlier. He said he’d attracted the attention of Sony in 2015 following that failed Kickstarter.
But the conversation raised many more questions. Kahraman would not make other members of his team available for interviews and would only identify one, who didn’t respond to a request for comment. Kahraman said he had signed a contract with Sony but wouldn’t offer specifics. He also said the game was funded by investors but wouldn’t say who. “There is a reason for that, but I really can’t talk about it,” Kahraman said.
Kahraman named two of the “six or seven” outsourcing companies that he said Blue Box is working with: Nuare Studio and Dekogon Studios. Representatives for both companies declined to comment.

At this point I’m more invested in this being real just so this guy has egg on his face than I am being excited for whatever hypothetical game Kojima could make.

This is the Amy's Baking Company of indie games. It's going to turn out to be a massive money laundering scheme.

This just blows my fucking mind.
Jason Scherier is someone whom I expect to do their due diligence when it comes to sleuthing, so for him to walk away even more confused is baffling.
Sony wouldn't comment? Who is his team? Where did his funding come from? How does some random Indie developer supposedly have assistance from so many?
I'm wanting to say this is fake(I was on Team Real), but what a ride. This is either the most elaborate hoax/ARG I've *ever* seen done in video game history(and I thought Sombra in OW was wild) or the most complex, incoherent and surefire explosive way to destroy your career, your game and everything you worked for.
This shit reminds me of the age ol Shen Long hoax back in the 90s with...EGM? GamePro?
For me? I can't fathom it. Any logical person would handle this if it were fake. It almost seems intentional now.
Say something to detract or downplay, then be cryptic in responses, troll around on Twitter and be enigmatic in an interview? To what end?
To continue to keep it all front and center? Keep it cyclical until Friday?? I mean, the explosion is gonna be grand no matter what this ends up being.

Gotta give Hasan that though:
I have spent more hours the last three days staring at my phone, refreshing this and eras thread, than playing games, watching movies or do anything else.

Sony taking interest intensifies
For all his wrongs, he just broke open the barrier of entry for making it in the indie league to be noticed by Sony.... apparently £150 is enough ROFL

Didn't they say it's in "early development" on the blog? Despite having a Q4 2021 release.
It's not the first time he lied of course.

ohhh you are totally right, not even 50 but 50+ and that is a perfect fit to his ridiculous claims.

What's become fascinating in all of this is that team fake are doing exactly the same things that team real are but just from the opposite perspective with the opposite goal.

Are you or aren't you digging in to (and correlating) publicly available information to prove or disprove a theory?
Everything is possible until it is not. The facts are yet to be revealed.
