The company told subsidiaries Bend and Bluepoint it will work with them to determine their next steps and minimize job losses

Both were live service; one at Bend, one at Bluepoint. Bluepoint was helping work on God of War: Ragnarok until 2022, at which point they were developing this now-cancelled God of War live service game.

    Live service doesn’t need to be shit.

    There could have been games where there was just a brilliant idea for a game that keeps having engaging content on an ongoing basis with passionate devs.

    But live service so an exec could check a box for their quarterly shareholder call was always going to be DOA.

      The game they killed 3 days after release might have been good but i haven’t seen a single gameplay video or have any idea of what the game was about. Are they that scared of releasing a shit game and keeping it playable but dead for a while?
