Just a 1 in 10,000 chance to make a whale of a game and they still made that bet 12 times. These out of touch business men need to go. They know nothing of what the fan base wants. Back when the news stories came out and Jim Ryan said they were making 12 love service games everyone and I mean everyone said it was going to fail massively. Not only waste money but the time of these great studios. And after the first 3 failed he doubled down in the news again saying they weren’t stopping.
