Jez also said Everwild was coming along great and had strong backing from Microsoft. There was confidence from other insiders because Gregg Mayles had started leading it. If they lose Greg Mayles because of this then Rare has just lost their most experienced and skilled employee, who created Sea of Thieves, Rare's biggest game ever and one of Microsoft's biggest ongoing videogames which has raked in millions.
I literally posted a few days ago how Rare was still pulling in profits because of Sea of Thieves...
Lets hope for Rare's sake that Gregg Mayles agrees with the cancellation otherwise I imagine he may just fuck off and leave and take a few employees with him with how loved he is inside of Rare and then people can actually be right in saying that there's no OG Rare employees left at Rare. Though I'm not sure he'll join Playtonic because they're having a rough time lately too.
