I'm not sure what to think of this. On the one hand the author is right, for this to happen days before release does speak to some massive incompetence in oversight of this project.
But if the game was really that bad, I kinda have to applaud somebody for finally making the decision to shitcan it. We complain a lot about unfinished garbage being released, so if this was that, then good that they didn't push it out and try to at least make some money before it flopped. Reminds me of back when Blizzard actually cared about quality and scrapped some of their games because they decided they were not good enough.
Yeah apparently Matthias Lillja was appointed Vice CEO only this year. There is a possibility that he is currently looking at projects others approved and taking the necessary steps.
Or he is used as a scapegoat.
And so this is how I got the news that Life by You was cancelled. ffs
Paradox has been going through some stuff, and it seems that they aren't able to keep their heads above the water.
