It was probably an Anthem situation - they provided an opportunity for a revamp, put it on the studio to put together an estimate on additional investment/turn around time/whatever, then presented their case. Sony probably ran the numbers about projected additional investment vs. potential returns vs. buzz online and felt it wasn't worth the additional investment.

Let's be honest: If the game came back as f2p, you'd probably have a lot of "disaster tourists" and see a decent initial spike in player population. People would play it just to see what the deal was, but that doesn't equate to a long term and profitable playerbase. People would just compare it to a scuffed Overwatch (which itself isn't the juggernaut it used to be) and probably move on quickly.

She went to Centre. I can’t imagine how insufferable that place is now.

He.

It's curious that a lot of these major failures in AAA game studios are infested with trannies in senior positions.

Maybe it's not a good idea not to have mentally-ill troglodytes with political stances that are social suicide among 95% of the population, making important decisions.

The gaming industry is notorious for being a passion over pay career and these developer jobs are excellent for highly autistic programmers, which means dedicated autists can do well while people without a passion for something dont do well if they also suck or go somewhere with better pay if they dont suck. You want passion for gaming, you get passion for pronouns. Its not even like dei hiring forces autistic weirdos; it happens naturally in these desk jobs.

lol. I thought that was just a ham beast woman. I’m fucking over trannies. FTM seem to me to be mostly victims of social disease, but MTF are purely degenerate predators and deviants.

I have to agree that accepting a measure of autistic weirdos is necessary in code, animation, etc, but the project lead/director(s) definitely do not have to be.

And they're the most important cog in the machine.

In my opinion, the weak link is the writers. They're typically paid peanuts so it's hard to find quality people and that's why strong leadership is so important.

Yep. A lot of MtF are just wearing their kink on their sleeve. It's that and some men completely fail at being men, know they have zero chance with women, switch teams and claim to be a lesbian hoping they'll have a chance with another degenerate.

the executives at sony who oversaw the game/studio should also be fired, anyone who saw the game for more than 30 seconds should have immediately realized it was a dumpster fire

It's always the same story.

"Develop for a greater audience" which means that half of all gamers are women based on dodgy market resesrch and the current trend has a 95% male audience, so they can double sales if women buy current trend.

But the female gamers are 95% playing shit like candy crush and will never play an esport. They should know this because their own staff can't play their own games - see Diablo 4 promo vids.

The women who do game are playing Hoyoverse games and FF14 with semi-sexualised cute characters.

been enjoying Black Ops 6 multiplayer (its on gamepass), might check out the campaign this weekend but its nice to have nuketown in so fast
