So they close Lionhead only to rehire some of them to not complete the game they were making but do a 'remake' instead...

Riiiight.

Hmm, pie.

You need to embrace your troll side!

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Not the most enjoyable development story but you have to consider the funds poured into Legends, Spencer hoping the team could use the assets to transition back to a more "traditional" game at the time, and how long that huge project wouldn't have become financially viable (AAA game supposedly with a free-to-play model) for a long time.

Ignoring the April 1st status of this thread, they started development in 2012 and it's only just 2016. They were in Beta, still are. Many other games (MMOs) have had f2p models and done very well with it. I think Tera was paid at first and went f2P a year later, a little while after it was getting $100mil a year or something (can't verify this, can't find website that says).

Besides... FF15, 11 years in the making. This industry doesn't know the meaning of the term 'financially viable'.
