Two betas I played were both extremely meh. Art style is just atrocious. You can’t really know with these games until they’ve been out for awhile. But I don’t see it being a big game. Maybe just successful enough to get supported awhile.

I think so. It's not free to play and unlike concord it's actually selling, so I don't think there's risk of any dramatic outcome here.

While the game is selling well from everything I can tell, Steam concurrent player count is telling a bit of a negative story: There has been a very steady drop from 88k to 38k in the peak 24hr CCU. At this rate, I’d be shocked if Sony keeps this game alive for much longer than a year. But maybe they can turn things around… it’s promising to see that the game wasn’t shut down within its first month, unlike Highguard or Concord.

I’m gonna stay hopeful (especially being a $40USD game, it’s not as though Sony is bleeding money from this).

It has sold only around 1.5M by now, and that game should need to sell north of 6M, IMO.

Steam is by far its strongest platform (reportedly 70% of the playerbase) and it has been getting worse every day since launch over there, PS5 and XBX it doesn't even chart on graphs.

It has been a huge failure so far, even as some people say it's actually an incredible game for people willing to play it for a long time, and that Bungie at least would like to keep it alive and updated for years, I don't see how Sony would be ok with letting it become and even bigger money loss by keeping it up.

Either they shake it up a lot by the middle of this year or I see little chance of it lasting much more than 6 months.

What is this based on?

Neither Alinea Analytics nor Paul Tassi are good sources. Paul Tassi is not a journalist. He writes for a content farm and has never been held to any standard of journalistic integrity. Especially obvious when the majority of his articles are jsut copying whatever reddit post he saw that day like all other content farm "writers".

So it would generate around 250M in sales, can't see how they spent less on it.
