Wow, this sucks. For the team of course, and everyone who bought the game. I hoped to grab it one day, when it’s in a better state, oh well…

wtf? It’s such a popular IP, why would they do that?

Because they fumbled it all so badly at every opportunity. Shady studio takeovers, disastrous launch, mismatched price…

What a damn shame

Wow - Take Two shuttering this studio AND Roll7 (OlliOlli, Rollerdrome) just a month after they announced they’re buying Gearbox for almost half a billion. Absolutely catastrophic mismanagement. What a shitshow.

Absolutely catastrophic mismanagement.

Hard disagree. When the vultures gut and eat the racehorse they just bought, they’re perfectly happy with the outcome.

Given the botched launch, this isn’t much of a surprise. Only thing I can say is that I hope it serves as a lesson to people with the mindset of “this game’ll be great ^in 5 years^”

I’m in that mindset, which is why I wishlisted it for when that would happen.

No preorders, no early access!

In which case, I’ll clarify that I meant the people who bought, found it was borked then chose to wait for updates instead of getting an easily deserved refund.
