it was a business decision yes, i get that, but they still were assholes. they agreed on a deal, they would fund the studio 5 million for a certain product. after just a week MS started demanding new things, after a while they demanded a 6 hour long single player. then they went on to announce the game without the studio even knowing about it, setting a look and feel for the game with a CGI trailer without using any of the assests the devs were using, and then went on to say it will be a "30 long hour JRPG" without the devs even knowing about MS's intention.
the studio was overwhelmed with MS's demands, they had to put all their staff on phantum dust, they went all in because they were forced too, and couldnt take any more projects. then they tried to present a verticle slice of the game for MS which was said MS liked, yet they didnt even want to fund them, 5 million wasnt enough because MS keept demanding more and more things, which resulted in the studio going bankrupt because MS cancelled on them.
yeah it was a business decision to not spend more than 5 million on a game like phantum dust. but they clearly went and fucked over the studio because of it.

You seem to know a lot about what went on behind the scenes where you working there??.
Also if i was you id lay off calling a company Assholes as you have now done twice in this thread about MS, im pretty sure you wouldnt like the same thing being said about Sony and would be the first one to report it..

No, i just read the full article.
and why? they were being assholes (thats a third time) and if sony were being assholes id call them just that, did in the past and will do it in the future. also Sony and my personal behavior have nothing to do with this thread, its about darkside, MS and phantum dust, so instead of passing on judgment about how i would and wouldnt react lets just keep this on topic, shall we?
Edit: geez, didnt see the posts above until now, wont make a comment about though, just letting the mods know i made this reply before i saw what happened.
