Its pretty tough when they release a game that took so long to develop, that was meant for an era of gaming when live service games were hot. Now that a lot of live service games are flopping due to over-saturation, I think even Sony saw it wasn't worth the effort of trying to push the game further without either reworking it into something else, or just cutting their losses.

Importantly they tried to enter the market with a $40 purchase price, when the existing competition is mostly free to play.
