It was more like an overview than assuming anything lol but I can buy the idea of HAVEN and Bend closing, if Fairgames fails HAVEN is done, if the service push ends Bend is most likely also done. 

Media Molecule is 100% in danger, when London was closed rumors say it was a decision between London and MM. The key factor here is the 6 years in the same project, if that game wasn't good enough it would have been cancelled by now, Sony had multiple chances. I don't see MM closing before releasing their game. 

Haven is an interesting proposition considering that Sony green-lit all 3 of their games. I wonder to what degree that helps them in the event Fairgames doesn't work out. But I really hope they are putting all their effort into having an approachable and fun gameplay loop.

Bend is definitely dead if their new game doesn't work out. They're going to regret not just taking over Uncharted when they were given that chance. Stupid decision on their part (just as stupid as their management not going through with Days Gone 2). I'm shocked that they're still around tbqh. 

MM... I dunno if I believe the rumours of London vs. MM. The answer to choose who to close was 9/10 times always going to be London if you ask me. I still hope that MM is holding onto Dreams and still utilising it as their game engine. Would be a massive disappointment to not invest in the engine when it holds so much potential. 

Media Molecule is so absurdly creative, it would be really sad to see them get shut down.

Honestly if they can't hit big numbers anymore, Sony should make them release AA games in a faster output so they can bring out many ideas in different projects that cost a lot less, and both help Sony fill gaps in their AAA spread and bring more diversiy to the platform.

Maybe one of those AA games can find a big audience and a team be expanded into making it a franchise even. Like Little Big Planet.

Getting rid of MM, like they did with Japan Studios, would be such a stupid thing. They could find at the very least a new Astro Bot success cases or two within MM, IMO.
