Does anyone know the reasoning for this? Wondering if it's with Hideo personally kinda like what happened 10 years ago with Konami or is it something with the game itself?

Death stranding 2 apparently only sold about 2 million copies since launch. Not enough to make back the budget of game. Sony could have looked at it and said this game is probably not gonna be profitable(enough) to continue with financing it.
