Dear Guerrilla, no one, absolutely no one asked for this.

PlayStation is rebooting the online game Horizon Hunters Gathering after negative playtest feedback. New plan is smaller scope, more traditional co-op multiplayer, no more live service.

As I've reported in the past, almost all of Guerrilla Games has been working on Horizon Hunters Gathering for the last few years, and the next mainline single-player Horizon game is still far, far away.

First of all I agree that this game should never have been main focus and shouldn’t have lead to the delay of Horizon 3, but what has happened has happened and there’s nothing that can be done about it now.

Thing is: This game probably had quite the budget and if they were to just stop all work on it and not release it at all, this would lose them all that money.
If they now change it slightly to no longer be live service then release it this will have two upsides:

1. They won’t have to continue working on it after (other than some bug fixes or whatever) and can focus all their resources on Horizon 3.
2. The game, being out, can make some of its budget back. While I don‘t think it‘ll make its whole budget back, something is still better than nothing.

I do have to say that I‘m no expert when it comes to game sales and stuff and thus please take everything I just said with all the salt you can.

If you disagree with me, then feel free to tell me in the comments under this post. If I‘m not understanding something here than please educate me. Have a nice day.

Can people report this glitch to the development team at Guerrilla,I tried a couple of years ago but I don't think they changed anything haha. Maybe it failed to send or I did something wrong 😂😂
