Maybe all those people that they fired were you know, actually doing the game.

I would guess this means Xbox likely found a bug that they won’t allow the game to be released with. Xbox has the most rigorous testing requirements of all the consoles for developers to release games, believe it or not. Its not really for game stability but more for security. You submit a game or update to them and they check it to make sure its not malware/going to brick your Xbox/etc. If they find something they don’t like, they tell you to fix it and then resubmit it. Whatever this backend feature is that isn’t working (MTX cash shop probably) likely is causing a major security issue.

Better delay it last moment, than have it unplayable on release IMO

Agree on principle, but the fact they delayed it that late most likely means that some shit management happened and that they were already crunching to try to meet the failed deadline.

I mean yeah, not like a thousand or so people just noticed they won’t make it the day before the big release. I won’t applaud them (especially the lack of management), the studio might still get sued to oblivion for this and many devs will quit. Just saying that we need more delays
