I stand by that Microsoft shouldn't have cancelled it, I know for a fact if they did we'd have articles ripping them apart, announced or not, it'd be "Microsoft Acquires Bethesda Then Immediately Cancels Projects From Beloved Arkane" and the public would rip them apart just as much as they are now, if not more. In addition to that, Harvey and Ricardo actually wanting to do the game too makes things awkward.

Who cares what fucking articles get written. MS needs to worry about what's best for the long term health and productivity of their studios, not what's going to be said by people with little to no insight. If you go check in on the happenings at the studio, and they're pulling a dozen different directions, and leadership and the main dev force aren't on the same page as to what type of game they're making (or whether they even wanna make it at all), you gotta make a tough call. And that call isn't "oh well...let's just keep going like this until the game is done, and figure things out after."

MS ABSOLUTELY should have either canned it, or gotten the team on the same page, and rebooted the project.
