Damn, that's rough. Regardless of your opinion on the game that's a lot of hard work down the drain. I honestly feel bad for all the artists, musicians, programmers, and voice actors that put in years of work for it all to end like this. And we all know that Sony is going to fire pretty much everyone on the development team to recover costs even if it goes free to play. People that didn't even have direct control over the direction of the game and were just doing their best. Hopefully at least the game will go free to play so the people that want to play it can get a chance.

But at the same time I find it kinda funny that the same people that bitched about it not being free to play will be totally down to spend $40 on a couple skins instead of, you know, an entire game with all the cosmetics included. I guess the option to spend money is more powerful than a requirement to spend money.

Also I think the play test for Valve's new game Deadlock kinda screwed over the launch of anything hero shooter related. That play test has had more players during the play test than some games have over the course of 5 years.
