    it just seems so weird because they claimed the game succeeded based on every metric. Whats even the goal post anymore?

    Also this same parent company (xbox) spent 70 billion dollars buying Activision, like i feel this is just bad management.

      Studio founder Shinji Mikame left a year ago, not too long after HI-FI came out. So that’s a big personality gone.
