Quantic has been silent for so long, and this is what they were doing? Quick service game cashgrabs and publishing... Dustborn? Good God... And their only real project has the Star Wars IP slapped on it... Mr. Cage might be creatively spent

Who gives greenlight and funds for such projects ? I sure don't know and I'm not saying it's money laundering . . .

Tbh, that doesn't even look bad. If I had two people to play this with, I'd even give it a chance.

Possible they were doing piecework for other games.

Saw someone on the X describe investing in this genre as playing the lottery. Yes, the math is heavily against you, but you only need to win once, so dummies will keep doing it.
