Kill it.

I think Sony is going to pull the plug on Haven soon. A founder departing a brand new studio is never a good sign. 

Really depends what role Raymond played. She started EA Motive and was only there for 1 of their games. Schreier's reporting on this situation is incredibly light. Maybe she's decided she no longer needs to help the studio set up because the external review was fine. 

"Some developers at Haven were concerned about how the game was received and its progress, said the people," is also a pretty meaningless comment and we should all know that by now. lower rank devs in a team are not going to be privy to a lot of stuff. Just remember when some devs at Bend thought they were going to be absorbed into Naughty Dog. It obviously wasn't going to happen, and we know it clearly didn't.

I'm not saying Haven is fine. But I don't think we have much to go on here tbqh. And lirc, Sony greenlit 3 games from Haven. If Fairgames doesn't work out, there's still the opportunity for them to move onto their other projects.
