Westoidbros... we aren't able to make a new perfect dark or bioshock in 6 years... we even had to cancel a bioshock remake...

It's not fair!!

>Create studio and tell them to make Perfect Dark
>They languish for 3 years, get another dev team to help out for another 3. Still have nothing to show for it so it gets cancelled

>Create studio in 2019 and tell them to make Bioshock 4
>They languish for 6 years with nothing to show for it

A Westoid game flopping is only good for the rest of the industry.
