While MS definitely take some of the blame, let's not pretend that Platinum hasn't been overextending themselves lately. They're stretched thin and it's showing. They have released 7 games over the last four years, and they were working on this, Nier: Automata, and reportedly another PS4 game at the same time. It seems like they'll do anything for a paycheck at this point. Platinum bit off more than they can chew, and MS doesn't have the best reputation for taking risks (though you can say this about every publisher). I liked Scalebound and hate to see it go, but the writing was on the wall.
