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

So which is it?.

Ah we conveniently ignore marketing, IP rights, paying external contractors to make a game out of this turd in a rush. Nvm keep banging the concord drum

He said 400 million to make the game... 200 million up until spring 2023 and then Sony spent another 200 million after on the game alone.... Not including acquisition and guess what genius.. acquisition comes with price of the IP rights

I ain't banging no drum, I've long moved on. Just calling out your shit

Cut throat business if you don't produce. A game with solid shooting and polish but with god awful character designs for its genre. The game was released out into the market and the market decided its fate. Time for PlayStation to move on and not dwell on this game. However, can't wait for Schreier to release all the reportings of what actually truly went on during development and how Firewalk operated as a studio (whether rumor of toxic positivity was running wild over there).

Understandable news. I assume most valuable staff from Firewalk will be moved to Bungie because both studios are in Bellevue, Washington and Firewalk had an important part of their pedigree from Bungie.

Let's hope the "Professor" and their DEI/woke gang are among the fired ones and not one of the people relocated to other studios.

You gotta rewrite history man, no-one saw this game flopping pre-orders were sky high 😂
The minute this game had public existence it was done for. Any one with eyes could have realized that, Those of us who enjoyed the game, were simply just able to look past the vitriol and appreciate it. My 5 man, whenever we matched with familiar players, we all laughed bc we KNEW it aint normal for the matchmaking pool to be so small at launch.

The game is literally the ugly duckling that's actually quite nice if you give it a proper try. I think I ended my journey with nearly 3000 kills / 1000 deaths, 350 Wins 50 Losses.

One of the finest PvP games I have played all generation. Sad we will never get it back.
