It was the same scenario as Redfall afterall with the multiple patches on Steam and then studio shutdown 😬


Neon Koi was another useless purchase and rebrand. Zero release. Sony is just being stupid with the GAAS and PC push. The brand is beyond recognizable.

Astrobot the last hurrah for the 30th Anniversary 😬
don't worry, it is always worse before it gets better. as it usually the case. not sure, with Hulst and bean counters, if PS brand won't be killed in this process as we know it.

This guy is insufferable. He's the whiny bitch of all content creators and I wonder if he even enjoys games at all.
Yeah, Luke has grifter tendencies and instead of choosing to form his own take often time he just jump on whatever the eco chamber of the internet is saying and uses that. Lazy as hell.

I think everyone knew this was going to be the end result. The question is: did Sony actually learn anything, or are they just tooling up the next GAAS game?
No, because they didn't learn after Destruction Allstars by releasing Concord. We even lost the Twisted Metal game out of it all.

They should sue Probably Monsters for this scam and Sony shareholders in turn should sue Herman Hulst for running this irresponsible fiduciary scam. The useless people at Firewalk got salary for 2 more months than necessary

Now hopefully we can get rid of Bungie, Haven and Firesprite too
Why would they sue Probably Monsters? PM sold them a studio, and Sony got it. You should rather sue Hermen for stanning the game and convincing Jim Ryan it was going to be the next big thing. Hermen has shit taste, he needs to go.

Hermen Hulst needs to go before he tarnishes PlayStation's reputation even more, we have reports from people inside the studio saying Concord was Hulst's 'baby' he pushed for the acquisition of the studio, it resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in loss, this PC/Mobile future they're looking for simply doesn't exist

Game played well. Hopefully a proper autopsy of the work and move the staff dealing with mechanics back to Bungie and try again with a new hook.
