Who thinks Haven could be next?

I don't think it's next. I am sure it's next.

RIP... To an extremely talented and technical competent studio. Sony really is making a mistake here. A gold mine of talent they letting go of.

Yeah, a gold mine... of salaries. Don't buy west coast studios, wage inflation has turned them into white elephants.

Don't care about Firewalk at all so this doesn't affect me personally whatsoever. I wonder who's next? Haven?

Hope all the they/them struggle to find any gaming job and work low-income work to know how privileged they were. Amazing news.

If this Truly was Hermans "baby" i think he needs a demotion or needs to take a walk too. Such poor foresight at a time when sony is bleeding partners that used to exclusively work with them almost every day now. Imagine what a 400 million dollar investment in SE could do or 400 million in money hats.

Fire his dumb ass wasted far too much money on this

Haven is next.

Most likely with how shitty their game looks. The woke mob did swallow the blue pill from their rear ends. Time to wake up.

Oh yeah, they are in Seattle, aren't they? They can go over and make the next Halo. Can't be any worse than 343I.

Bellevue Washington, but yeah it's all a part of the Greater Seattle game/tech hub.

Too many purple hair girls lost their jobs. But don't worry, all companies are ready to employ them. No CV required

I be they fired all the managers, art team and just kept the guys that made the gameplay and sent them to other studios.

maybe they closed the studio but moved some people to other studios?

That's a possibility. I could see them going to Jason Blundell's studio, but given that they didn't mention any numbers, who knows how many people we're talking about.

Colin said 400 million to make the game and that didn't include acquisition

So which is it?.

Oh fuck off already

No everyone has been let go otherwise herman would have stated in his letter to gain some positive pr for his sorry ass. With the obscene amount they spent on this game the whole GaaS debacle is seeming more like a 7-8 billion loss rather than the 5 billion loss I previsouly thought

Rejected due anti-DEI agenda on social.

You still need to play the far superior The Finals.
