So to recap:

200 million dollars
8 years of development
Sony shuts down all of their Japanese studios and redirects their efforts into developing "cinematic" experiences to appeal to western gamers
Sony liquidates countless other studios in the pursuit of funding this game
Sony buys Bungie to aid in developing this game
Sony thinks this is going to be a huge success rivaling COD and Fortnite, so they fund an entire multimillion dollar CGI-animated episode to be aired in Amazon's Secret Level anthology series
Shuts down in 10 days
Sony refunds everyone

Man, Sony is taking L's like a motherfucker.
