I'm not even that upset about Everwild itself being cancelled, as in the videogame, because we didn't know anything about it, but it's more the shitty treatment of their employees, especially one as senior as Gregg who gave them a massive hit with Sea of Thieves, they didn't even give him a chance with Everwild, the dude was shoved onto a project that he didn't create to salvage it and by all insider reports, he was doing exactly that and had got it back on track, only for Microsoft to pull the rug from under him.

We can't complain that something like Redfall should have been canned on the one hand, and saying that MS needs to monitor these situations more closely, and then turn around and say it's shitty treatment if a game we hadn't heard anything official about in...what...5 years...? and was likely in development for at least a couple years before then to boot gets scrapped. 

Sometimes, projects are better off cancelled, even if the people working on it obviously might not be happy about it

I think I was one of the few who said Redfall shouldn't have been cancelled Tbf, Lol. But Redfall actually had reports of a rough development, Everwild didn't ever since Gregg Mayles came onboard, I think nurturing talent and keeping people like Gregg Mayles happy is more important than saving Microsoft a few bucks, lets be honest, this was nothing but a pure greed decision and not about Everwild being in rough shape.
