I always feel bad for the devs with these situations. I'm sure there's so much art and effort put into this game even if it sucked, and those people who made it now don't even get to show it off in action. Even if the final result sucked, it still sucks for those people who worked hard on elements of it.
Same. And especially for a live service game, it's just gone. If someone made some great 3D models and animations for an offline game, even if the game doesn't sell very well, their work is still out there. But with a live service game, that's just it. No one else gets to see it for more than a few days.
I also hate the fact that the dev studio will face the consequences of this, while whatever braindead exec with a master's in bullshit administration will probably still be employed.
But at the same time... I can't help but enjoy the spectacular failures of these anti-consumer products lately.
