Cancelling the game would be pretty diabolical and also send the wrong message. It's a very good game and I'm happy Sony is pushing it still. It's probably one of the most pro-consumer games we've gotten in a quite awhile and people are mad about character designs and pronouns lol.People don't even want to try it 5 minutes for free. They will never know if it's good or bad. The narrative is that it's absolute garbage and that won't change.
At this point they should just cancel it like Hyenas and forget about it.
If all else fails they put it on PS+ for awhile and slowly retool the economy for F2P.
