This wasn’t going to do that. The game has been in production for over 3 years, has seen a change of head developer and basically had the team come out and apologize before it even hits market. I don’t know if I believe the $80 million number, but I do believe the story that it is severely over budget with no realistic way to make money back.

It isn’t going to GamePass anyway. It’s going to bomb in stores.
3 years is less than the average dev cycle
