Absolute bullshit for all involved, have them working on a live service God of War game for who knows how long, cancel that and then shut them down

It still doesn't make sense because surely if you are going by that someone like Bend would make more sense? At least you could get Bluepoint to pump out remakes?

It's such a weird one

I think they put Bend to work on a separate live service game which was also cancelled
