Seems like MS wasted millions of dollars funding a game that failed and don't even get a franchise out of it.

They seem to be in pretty deep doo doo.

Sad for Crytek, but at least the world is spared the horror of a Ryse sequel!

This trend of trying to make EVERY game a franchise is troubling, and will backfire on the entire industry if continued. They should focus on making a good game FIRST, and worry about it becoming a franchise LATER!

Crytek's loss here considering that they already canned an unknown project and that Redemption game that they were working on with EA, they should have been grateful that MS actually wanted to greenlight another game from them.

Its not the first time. This trend with horrible PC developers started with Silicon Knights.

I'm sorry for the people not getting paid and maybe losing their jobs, but the number of games i will miss if Crytek goes bankrupt is still zero.

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Why in the world would anyone fight over Ryse? Such an awful game.

Wasn't that bad. :(
