Yeah I think people are reading too much into it for sure. Studios are allowed to have the occasional bad game.The blame for Redfall flopping seems to be getting foisted on Microsoft an awful lot.
Throwing money at a failing project does not make good business sense, nor does it magically make a game good. And I would argue that MS did give Arkane plenty of money - because they gave Arkane a ton of time, and that costs a lot when you're staffing a studio of hundreds of people. They got a whole year extra in fact, delaying the game on May 2022 to May 2023.
At what point does the pity party and the excuses end and we just admit that Arkane made a shitty game?
