This game is beyond fucked. Like it was already set to launch this year as they had multiple promos trying to hype it up. It got caught for plagiarism, had its release indefinitely postponed, and now has a new narrative director?

They might as well announce they're rebuilding the game from the ground up because it's fucked.

They are going to refactor the game a bit and then...what?
Truth is that if it is not in a good condition after this many years it won't be any better in 6 months or whatever additional time they are going to invest into it.
They are either delusional or incompetent or both. After few years they had shit to show. It's not going to get fixed by delaying the release.

The dudes at Sony were all saying the game is still expected to release within the fiscal year, which ends in March so that's where I would put my money on it. I'm not holding my breath that an at most 5 month delay will be able to really turn things around, but I think it's more due to the extraction genre just being a cursed siren song baiting developers into making games that will not sell regardless. I don't think Arc Raiders will change that narrative either (especially when considering just how quickly those same devs were able to drop the ball with The Finals when it similarly launched with a high degree of momentum behind it.) I muse over the idea that Bungie probably could have gotten the same effective vibe they were going for if they had just made an exploration-focused shooter with an invasion mechanic like you see in Souls games for the rare emergent PvP engagement. (Considering how when they announced the delay they doubled down on looking to improve the PvE portion of the sandbox with better AI and more enemy variety, I don't think they are still keen on making a game that sees more than maybe 1 team fight per 30 minute match. Which just raises the question of why develop a game centered around 30 minute matches where you barely engage in PvP to begin with?)

Isn't Tarkov primarily sees support because people use the RMT market running behind the scene as an easy method of money laundering to begin with? I think this genre is just ass and inherently not conducive to mass market appeal.

You only use 'they' to refer to a singular person when the gender is unknown. As the sex of the person is known as she using the term 'they' is an incorrect usage of the terminology.

Ironic because using 'They' to refer to a singular person when the gender is not ambiguous is referred to as 'gender-neutral' language which is a modern invention by the political ideology known as Diversity Equity and Inclusion.

no it isn't. Singular "they" has existed for longer than singular "you" and was considered old-fashioned for most the 1900s and people recommended not using it because it would make your writing look archaic instead of modern. The idea that it is a modern invention only came up recently because of people attempting to link grammar with the culture war.

Incorrect, you're thinking broad terms and again when the gender is unknown the referral to a woman as 'they' is correct, referring to a woman
when the gender is known as 'they' is incorrect.

That's just the live service curse to begin with. With how long games take to develop if you want to truly make a stake in whatever niche you're going for you effectively need to predict the future on where the genre will be 4-6 years down the line so your game will still launch innovative, otherwise, by the time your game is ready to release it would just be considered dated compared to the existing competition. (This is what killed the MMO genre during the WoW boom)

The industry made a bet that the extraction genre was going to be the next big thing, and by the time these games have been getting ready to launch it has become abundantly clear that it simply has no legs. Destiny was able to take off thanks to Bungie recognizing from the success of Borderlands that there is a potential market in a perpetually supported looter shooter (and then just ripping whatever design sensibilities that could be extrapolated from PSO1 and offering a more modern take that fit within their FPS sandbox. Which was still a correct call to make considering you could trace the design lineage of just about every successful looter to either PSO1 or Diablo 2) Bungie in this case just made a bad call and the game took too long to come close to release even if the genre wasn't a dead end to make much of a splash regardless. I don't think it'll kill the studio, I think it will just kill the upper management before Bungie just gets assimilated in Sony proper and tasked with making a Destiny 3.
