That said, it’s important to note that Raymond herself refused to comment on her alleged exit, with her LinkedIn page still listing her as part of Haven Studios at the time of writing.
If Bloomberg’s report ultimately proves to be correct, it could suggest internal turmoil within Haven, potentially tied to Sony’s recent purge of live-service titles. In a relatively short span, the company has shut down The Last of Us Online, Spider-Man: The Great Web, unnamed projects from Deviation Games and London Studio, Twisted Metal, a Destiny spin-off from Bungie, two games from Bend Studio and Bluepoint Games, and, of course, Concord, the worst AAA game of 2024 and a title often compared to Fairgame$ due to their similar visual styles.
In light of this, it’s not impossible for Fairgame$ to get canned after all, especially considering the reactions of players, many of whom mocked the game’s “rob the rich” message coming from Sony, one of the largest corporations in the world, and said that if Fairgame$ isn’t concorded before launch, it could still end up becoming Concord 2 – as in, lose the devs millions of dollars and get shut down anyway just a few weeks later, along with its developer.
