With Digital Foundry’s Jon Linneman expressing the concern he’s heard from developers, it seems that leaving the Xbox One behind might be the best thing for Halo Infinite.
A job listing published by the UK studio reveals that its next project will be another entirely new IP.
Outriders developer People Can Fly's next game has been canceled after its publishing agreement with Take-Two Interactive fell through.

If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.
Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.
I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.
The new Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition has the community in an outrage after promising exclusive access to the new PvE mode for $250 USD.
$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?
This is for the hardcore people that have 2500 h in the game. They basically play that one game the whole year.
Oh and those same people are mad as hell at this... what a way to reward fans of your game and annihilate newcomers.
Not just Halo: Infinite.

Problem is it's so far in development, having to run on the XBO has already shaped how it's designed. So unless they want to redesign majority if the game it's not really going to do much good to do so now.
It is too late now I am sure, except from redoing the game completely which will not be the case in my opinion.
I am still very surprised that game journalists needed to see Infinite to challenge the « no hold back » lie from MS.
Anyone who knows a little how games are made, especially at DF, should have seen this coming from the beginning.
