Hi-Fi was a critical success. But it flopped sales wise. Sad because it was a great game.
This was my suspicion that is now confirmed.
I wonder if the game would have been a sales success had it not been thrown into the massive pool of gamepass AAA titles on day one.



-Ninja Theory?

If Hellblade 2 isn't a big success, these are next in the chopping block for sure.

Has Harvey Smith, co-founder of Arkane and co-creator of Dishonored, been fired? Because the words "Arkane Austin Studio Director" under his profile have been replaced by "Immersive Sims Forever".

While many will Revel in seeing Microsoft prove many right. I still think it sucks to see studios get bought out just to get closed down. At this point the industry needs less lay off. I hope many can somehow creat new start ups and learn their lessons that remaining independent is always best in most cases.

Xbots cheered for acquisitions and how only MS can help the industry and how workers are safe. Man, how Xbots can be truly dumb.

Xbox peeps are acting like spoiled brats whose dad has a huge amount of money and thinks they are untouchable and they can buy all things with money. No wonder why Xbox fandom is so messed up.

I feel sorry for the people who lost their jobs. I think any devs from Japan would think twice getting into bed with MS. Hi-Fi Rush was sent out to die and overperformed in spite of the non promotion. MS will close companies based on their own failures, not the devs. I can't wait to see what the ashes of Tango produces, hopefully also on a Playstation platform.
