they would have made money and Sony needs gaming to take a fat loss for tax fraud reasons

>>738458823
Because From Software is a dogshit company that denied them the chance of remaking Bloodborne out of pure spite.

>>738458823
failed at making a live service game and single player games don't make enough money

>>738458823
they wanted them to do a gow live service instead of just remastering ps2 shit

>>738458823
turns out, when they have to actually make something of their own, they fucked up even harder

>>738458823
Because current sony leadership is retarded

>Hurr but bluepoint made not faithful remakes
They were still a competent studio delivering graphically great looking, playing and well optimized games
Sony could have just assigned them to make a new action/adventure/rpg inspired by a sony owned IP and they would have likely delivered something solid

But nah, we need more liveservice slop

>>738459185
>Because current sony leadership is retarded
Okay so first of all you're correct BUT

They were still right to chop Bluepoint, because the audience has become painfully aware that their entire body of work is shit remakes. Any new IP they make is going to suffer in the sales department somewhat by association with their past work. Chances are Sony held onto a few of the more competent devs on the team and put them to work somewhere else.

"Likely" based on what? Liveservice slop is the lowest effort in terms of actual design, which most of their team had zero experience with, and they still failed to deliver.
They made new coats of paints that looked like garbage, and based on that they would have made good games? Not even studios with a history of delivering well designed games do it every time. From Software themselves don't.
The Bluepoint glazing is 100% fanfiction. Sony knows how they work behind the scenes, they wouldn't want to waste money for no reason.

>>738458823
sony actually did something based for once

>>738459497
Thats bullshit, every youtuber praised them and was looking forward to what they are up to. Their next game would be sure to sell at least 1-2 mil copies even if it was some typical soulslike just with nice graphics, which might not be a huge profit alone but it's still something sony/playstation needed to have more games

>>738458823
Name one good game they've made.

That's why 99% of live service games fail, because they are just that easy to get right
Retard
>They made new coats of paints that looked like garbage
Nah, they literally made some of the best looking games that exist to this day
Them making questionable choices with redesigning existing designs for no good reqson is another thing, but it would hardly matter with a new IP

Also Bluepoint collaborated with Japan studio when it comes to gameplay which is ofc something they still could have done if Sony didn't shut them down too which just brings us back to the same problem of sony being fucking retarded and mishandling their studioa

They still release. Imagine doing work so shit it's not even deemed worthy of releasing and the whole studio is fucking closed when shit that flops and loses hundreds of millions still see the light of day every other week. Is this supposed to be a counter argument?

>Them making questionable choices with redesigning existing designs for no good reqson is another thing, but it would hardly matter with a new IP
It does matter because it shows a lack of intelligence. You don't redesign two outfits that are intended to mirror each other as a part of the storytelling in different ways unless you're a fucking retard. Someone with this level of low intelligence is not equipped to build a new world.

>Also Bluepoint collaborated with Japan studio when it comes to gameplay which is ofc something they still could have done if Sony didn't shut them down too which just brings us back to the same problem of sony being fucking retarded and mishandling their studioa
They're good because they could have an entire other studio making the game for them instead? Wow really seems worth having. Worthless piece of shit of a studio, thank God it was axed and will no longer tarnish anyone else's IP.

They weren't making money. They tried to make a live service game snd couldn't do it. Then the rest of their new pitches sucked

>Take a classic game someone else made
>Copy and paste it, apply a layer of modern graphics over it
>Now morons like >>738460214 consider you a legendary developer and allow you to appropiate those games and franchises.
This is why I'm glad Sony killed Bluepoint even when it was for the wrong reasons.

So we have uppity """""developers""""""like Nightdive and soon Bloober will take credit for the Silent Hill franchise and everyone will pretend Team Silent never existed.
