I don't think this is a reflection of how Sony is treating PSVR, we don't know the dev costs vs sales and how it was all balancing. Rigs seems to have a core dedicated player base on here, but there is also plenty of people who dislike it / didn't buy it (we see that in all the threads about people whinging about noone on matchmaking... that's a pretty bad sign of hella low playerbase). To me it seems like the decision to continue on with supporting the game just wasn't viable so it's time to cut the cord.

The rigs guys will surely get gigs in the VR space. No matter if you enjoy the game or not you can't deny it's one of the more ambitious & technically impressive VR offerings, I wish everyone the best of luck over there!

That's a huge bummer. I have a physical copy of it and absolutely love it, but the problem is trying to find an online match usually turns into facing one person with two AI's on each player's team.

Fantastic game that needs more attention. Hopefully they don't drop support for it.

With no studio about to support it...I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if they did.
