Gamers Deeply Upset Over Sony's Unjustified Closure of Bluepoint Games — Call for Marathon Boycott

Amidst the news of Bluepoint Games' closure, the announcement of Marathon testing has sparked a wave of criticism towards Sony. On February 26th, Server Slam begins — the final test for the shooter before its release on March 5th. However, players perceived the announcement as ill-timed following the dissolution of the studio that gifted PlayStation the remakes of Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus.

On social media, users are expressing disappointment with the corporation's strategy: Sony is betting on multiplayer service games while simultaneously letting go of teams known for high-quality single-player projects. Many are linking Bluepoint's closure to the need to offset the costs of acquiring Bungie.

Commenters are calling for a boycott of Marathon and labeling the situation a symptom of a management crisis within the company.
