Pretty sad sad to see. How little must these games be selling to force them into bigger genres? They surely can't have big budgets.

Lock if old.

That sucks : ( I'm going to get Nex Machina soon too !

They are a gameplay focused team... I think they can embrace bigger genres and still retain their identity.

They could make games like Vanquish. Honestly, when I originally saw matterfall thats what I was hoping it would be like.... then the game released and idk....

They’re not that small of a development team - over 50 employees.

Nex Machina sold less than 100,000 on PC and PS4. Matterfall was published by Sony so it hasn’t affected them as mich:

I've done my part in supporting them at least.

Damn that makes me a little sad :( Loved Outland by them last gen and Resogun + Alienation have been a blast this gen.

Small arcade type games.... yeah.... I can imagine that market is basically dead.

I think its good news theyre going to try something differnt.

Sony can pay them to make a bigger game hopefulky

Damn and I just bought Matterfall and plan to get Nex Machina soon.

Probably my favorite "small" dev. Usually buy their stuff immediately, but haven't purchased Matterfall yet. I have most of their games from the last decade. Think I'll pick up Alienation and/or Matterfall tonight. Hope their new direction is met with success.
