MODERATORS
So basically they shut down their games actively being developed or games like NieR Reincarnation (I am legitimately upset they did not patch it to work offline, that was a great game that died yesterday) just so they could claim a loss. This is likely for tax reasons, if I had to guess.
From the looks of things, Warner Bros was just the beginning of this practice.
Nah, companies have been doing similar practices for ages. Its just they're being more public about it now.
Now they're attaching pretend numbers to the cancelation.
I still don't understand how even with a tax write off they make more money than if they actually sold the damn thing.
