Everything that could have been made wrong, was made wrong. Will these guys ever get another job in the industry?

$162m is way to high when Control cost $30m. I know production costs are higher than ever but this is pretty extreme for a 8-12 hour linear game.

Same way holywood movies cost 9999999 while casting amateur actors, having 90s cgi effects and floping hard with 5% users score. Absolute lack of proper managment and acountability. No one controls spending and everything is artsy and creative.
AAA gaming is dead for me for years. Id rather spend my money on random 2d indie games that at least interesting.

You can be sure there won't be a Callisto Protocol 2.

Gotta learn to let the bread bake longer b4 the release. Or launch as "unfinished" at a bargain price.

Remember, people want to PLAY the game when they get it, not stow it away in a cupboard till its ready. LOL, hold on while i pay full price for this game, only for it to be unplayable. Trading standards springs to mind.

Why should the core mechanics and story take such a back seat over visuals? to me that's the most important aspect. Games of yester-year may not have been that much to look at compared to todays over priced/over hyped IP's, but many were far more fun. In may ways were better. You can't polish a turd.... then again.

Well, on PC the game is dead thanks to the bad WOM of the launch and it had the potential to be a really big seller on PC. The devs killed the legs of the game in this plaftorm.

I don't believe it cost that much to make.

[Chrille 🎃]

The game was obviously made by incompetent people so why would anyone be surprised of the outcome?

We are talking about fantastazillions of Won and not Euro.

that pretty much means no TCP 2, hopefully they will try it at least one more time with another space horror.

If they do not fix this game I sure hope they go bankrupt.

Hardly surprising when it released somewhat broken.

Dude, someone must have pocketed half of that money....I don't see where they spent $160 million. It ain't for time to optimize the game for PC, that's for damn sure
