They were kind of sabotaged. Who thought it would be a good idea to make a game about golumn? Like why not make a game about a hobbit instead if you have to make a LOTR non-violence game?
just think of all the money that this game had poured into it....and the failure is why the Embracer Group (THQNordic) is cancelling games and re-prioritizing it's studios.
I'm gonna be livid if my Deus Ex Reboot / 3rd sequel got cancelled because of this...
From the headline I was hoping some execs fell on their sword but nope. Workers get the shaft and higher-ups keep their job to look after the rest of the business.
