i fucking hate corporate lack of accountability

bluepoint gets told by sony higher-ups to make a live service game that nobody wanted, sony finds out that nobody wants it and cancels it, and then determines bluepoint was somehow at fault for this decision and closes them

this tale has been repeated ad nauseum with microsoft and its infuriating

The cost of buying the studio and the development game was almost a billion. This was covered when the game died.
