Kane99 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 It was by the hangar 13 team, who worked on mafia III. I heard they were rumors of a bully 2 game. But, supposedly it was supposed to be a game similar to destiny and Take Two just didn't see it being a viable game to make in the market, or profitable I should say. They spent $53 million plus before canceling it. At that point I probably would have let them work on it.

skyfire Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Is this because they wanted more money for the court case they were going through so sounds like loss from both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m76 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Hangar 13, nothing good came out of that studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Obviously a huge amount, but considering how much they make off of GTA5 microtransactions it doesn't really hurt them as bad as it would other publishers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah true, but 53 mill is still a lot to lose in that way. I can't imagine they were happy about wasting that money. But they will survive.

skyfire Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I think most of the time in game transactions make the sale of the brand worth it, all the invested money is properly adjusted in that context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaramaki Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 What are the changes hangar 13 is getting closed after this? Would be a shame since i'd love for them to make a new mafia game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will work something out with the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 $53 million dollars is a very huge amount of money they can't just waste like that. It's going to peg serious questions on their business dealings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some games that are started and completed with that budget size. I wonder why it's not something to push through the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 That's one of the black Fridays for them, definitely their is open opportunities for them to recoup the funds they've lost as a result of such saga, which was cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Although, if there was a good reason for the cancelation of the game, they would feel too bad about it because it's something they are likely to fix in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
