Remember when Sony said they didn't want EA Access on PS4 because they determined that the "value" wasn't there? Then people said "wtf are they talking about? Give me the choice of having EA Access, and I'll determine if it has value"? And, of course, the "lol #4thePlayers" comments? Now, the shoe is on the other foot, and that "choice" is being taken away from you on the Xbox side of things because apparently MS already assessed Scalebound's "value" and nixed the game, instead of finishing it and letting you, the consumer, to determine its value.....and you're ok with it? I certainly ain't ok with it. Considering I've had an XBOne for some time now, and the exclusive lineup is rather thin. It certainly doesn't help to cancel AAA games. It makes the "We focus on the monthly active user base because we know those are gamers making a conscious choice to pick our content, our games, our platform, our service" excuse obsolete for not showing hardware numbers, because I'm less inclined to make the conscious choice to pick up their content, because I can't pick up their content, because it's cancelled. |
Would Scalebound have taken revenue/sales away from some other JRPG Microsoft was making, and that's why they canceled it? That's the only way this is comparable to EA Access and Sony's bullshit about "value". Sony deserved to be mocked for not allowing EA Access because it would clash with their own service. That is not something you do for the gamers.
Canceling games happens very often though. Hell, Sony just closed a whole studio, let alone a game. Shit happens. I give you a B for effort.
Go ahead and not be ok with missing out on garbage. Feel free to pick up a copy of Murdered: Soul Suspect to fill the void.
