it completely sucks for the creatives, but like you said, it is a business at the end of the day and businesses make decisions that suck. I don't know if Hi Fi Rush actually was a financial success. I know they made the comment last year that it was a success on all metrics, which to me seems like a way to dodge the idea that it wasn't a success (which was the rumor at the time) without actually saying it. They should re-evaluate what a successful game is financially and not expect everything to be Call of Duty levels of income. I really hope that the creatives that are let go, that they can make their own stuff independently and make the kind of product they want to make. Small nimble teams that don't have to worry about maximized profit and can instead focus on the art side of things.

Mic sounded good to me

Yeah this is the problem making tons of money. Back in the day people made games because they loved games. Now it's a corporate business and the normal corporate rules apply. 90s were a good time to be a gamer.
