I think it’s dumb to deny themselves the fuckton of money that PlayStation users would have paid to buy the game, and that I would guarantee you that they didn’t sell even close to enough consoles to make up for it considering it’s a pretty shit game to begin with.

They could have recouped some of their money from it, but no- it’s a flop now.

Most of the "sale" of this game comes from xbox pass and that's enough for M$. Xbox is already being outsold so giving Sony more advantage for a little recoup is stupid strategy.
