RIP Hyenas
You were never wanted, and will be forgotten

[thespiffingbrit]

Jeez legend you didn't have to give away all my tax avoidance strategies
And as of 2 hours after upload CA have announced redundancies

[deleted]

It's insane how they had such a good thing going by the end of WHII and they threw it all away

[anthroposmetron]

CA: Buy the DLC or we will cancel Warhammer TW!!!!

Sega: Cancels Hyenas

[russell]

Sucks for the people who wasted their time and are probably going to lose their jobs because of inept management

[Patterrz]

An idea that was probably made by suits that want to enter a market they know nothing about but could make a lot of money. Massive shame a lot of good devs put time and effort into a project that was poorly thought out, and will probably now be laid off while the people at the top have no negative effects

I'm pretty sure I didn't hear anything about this game until yesterday, where I was confused hearing about a game called "Hyenas" for the first time during the Kroq-Gar livestream. The next day I find out it's dead. My head canon will now be Kroq-Gar killing and eating it.

So when they said "increasing costs of development", what they really meant was "decreasing profit margins"

[johnking]

I can't imagine how mad I'd be if I were a dev getting laid off today while the CPO responsible for consistent, moronic decisions get's to keep his job. FFS this kind of leadership should almost be considered corporate sabotage at this point.

I completely agree that this will likely have big negative impacts on TWW3's future but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't experiencing a large degree of schadenfreude over this.

And then there's me, who had no idea that Hyenas even existed before this video.

[LTL]

I came here to rip on Hyrenas,
ended up learning corporate microeconomics from Prof. Legend

we live in strange times

[lewishand]

Legend's point about Hyenas probably being cancelled ages ago makes total sense in hindsight. The Hyenas YT channel has been dark for almost a month (not that the were huge posters to begin with), their twitter page that used to regularly post once every couple of days has been silent for almost a week and the huge long winded marketing campaign they had going on suddenly died in the arse two weeks ago, with barely any marketing to be seen since then.
It almost feels like SEGA pulled the plug and then the Hyenas team said "wait wait wait just let us do some marketing. It'll pull through honest." And then two weeks ago SEGA finally said "Enough. Your marketing failed. We're canning the game."

Big F, but hopefully it means TWWH 3 will get the support it deserves internally by CA

[Praetorian]

…why are you talking to Volound? You just chucked that in there at the end with no explanation?

[lite]

Imagine how bad something has to be for CA to cancel its release.

[memehamster]

I heard that the FREE beta test got 1000 players or less, which was probably a good indicator to the people in charge that even fewer people would pay for this

[dimdum]

Suddenly have the urge to play war thunder

[theFirstAidKit]

The canceling of Hyenas is better than both of the alternatives at this point. It will stop being a money sink and won't suck any more resources. Had it been a success, we would have seen a shift in priorities for CA, which also would have been bad for TW. So I see this as the best outcome of a shitty situation. It also shows that they are aware of the opinions of the community, atleast somewhat aware.
