2K Games And Its Parent Company Take-Two Interactive Have Just Cancelled A 53 Million Dollar Game Developed By The Diversity Activist Studio Hangar 13

Back in 2018, and a couple of years after the release of abysmally broken and nigger focused Mafia 3, game developer Hangar 13 expressed a desire to become a political activist studio focused on (((diversity))). The company entered partnership with various feminist organisations such as "Women In Games" and Facebook's very own #SheTalksGames panel. This was confirmed by a leaked e-mail from Andy Wilson, the vice president of development at Hangar 13.

Fast-Forward several years, and we are now at a point in time when Take-Two Interactive, a parent company of both 2K Games and Rockstar Games, has decided to cancel a $53 Million game project by 2K's Hangar 13 studio after 4 years of development. The game in question was never formally announced, and was only known by it's internal code name as "Project Volt". According to initial reports, as many as 200 jobs could be affected by the cancellation.

As the old adage goes: "Get Woke - Go Broke"

I enjoyed Mafia: Definitive Edition; but it certainly didn't hold up to the OG Mafia: The City Of Lost Heaven.
