At this point I dunno if the success of Helldivers 2 is enough to make up for all these other flops/cancellations. So much wasted resources and it would've been a complete waste if not for that one game. Maybe Fairgame$ will be a surprise hit but considering the reception to the reveal of that another Concord feels way likelier than even a decent hit assuming it doesn't get cancelled as well.

I'm wondering the same about Fairgames too. Perhaps they see something in it that the Bend game lacked but I know the reason Spiderman and God Of War got pulled (cause I can't think of Blupoint making dog shit) because they don't want to take the risk of hurting those IPs in a Fallout 76 style situation. I reckon those games, or some of them could have been good, they didn't judge the success of Helldivers so I know they can't judge the success of these.

It's been close to two years so I suppose it's likely they've made major changes in response to the negative reception. I wonder what'll happen with the Horizon one since with the TLOU, Spider-Man, and God of War ones all cancelled it's now just that in terms of live service spin-offs of the big franchises. Maybe that'll do well and help make up for the rest of it somewhat.
