| Ryuu96 said: Shinobi responded saying "Accurate" about Crystal Dynamics/Perfect Dark. It's also a damning statement on The Initiative. What the actual fuck. This should 100% be a fireable offence for Matt Booty. The Initiative and Crystal Dynamics spent the past 6 years doing fuck all? I'm suddenly a little less bothered by The Initiative being shutdown, a team of veterans and they twiddled their thumbs making vertical slices for 6 fucking years? Was Crystal Dynamics funnelling Perfect Dark funding to Tomb Raider or some shit because this is wild? Lol. Basically being told the game didn't actually exist, their was no foundation, Crystal Dynamics just made a few cool vertical slices to please executives and that's all. I'm sorry but I change my stance on this one now, I have ZERO surprise that Perfect Dark was cancelled now and feel little sympathy for The Initiative layoffs. But WTF at Booty. This should be career ending for him. There's no way. Phil needs to grow a pair and let him go. JFC. |
MS needs to stop letting this kind of thing happen. I get you don't wanna aggressively micromanage studios, that's no good. Clearly, however, you also can't just leave them to their own devices for years and years only to eventually realize that nothing is getting done. The oversight has to improve by leaps and bounds.
