This floored me man, WTF.

I don't even blame Sony for Bluepoint deciding to work on a live service God of War game. They had nothing going on from 2021 to 2023 other than supporting SMS with GoWR. Their live service pitch wasn't greenlit until 2023 before ultimately getting cancelled in 2025. Sony should've known better to even greenlight such a project.

Its unfortunate to see Sony fumble Bluepoint when they clearly had value as the premiere remake studio.

To be fair Blue Point actually did something useful unlike ND. When you see a hole in a boat hou fix it you don't sink the ship. Playstation will have to try very hard to find a place in the market when consoles are 1k due to chips, ram and memory basically being two times as expensive.
