Disappointing, but perhaps not surprising, given the reception to Disintegration. I hope all the people there land on their feet.

I really wonder what it takes to get your game on Gamepass, because the abysmal Sea of Thieves not only survived, but managed to retain a loyal following, and has since grown over the years. I feel like a AA live-service game like this would have had a much better chance if they had put it on the service.

I mean, yeah it's your opinion and all, but Sea of Thieves was never abysmal. Yes, it was extremely light on content on launch, but the core mechanics and the graphics were incredibly polished. They turned around the content problem with updates, just like No Man's Sky.
