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.
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^"
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.
Extremely disappointed. They had some very passionate people on the project and I was hoping that they'll turn things around over the next several years.
Damn, I really hope this isn't true. I just started playing (even though my PC is below spec and I have to run it at potato quality) and I was having fun with the improvements over the original. I've followed the development and yeah initial launch was way premature but the 0.2 For Science! update looked to have turned things around.
But staff departure postings on LinkedIn are a very bad sign...
