So after Bless Online fails on PC they decide to use consoles PS4 and Xbox One to take their money then betray them and focus only on PC and consoles end up leftovers? Bless Unleashed should be shutdown...

I've been worried for a long while that console was just a way for them to get back on their feet so they could go PC again where they can run it the way they did Bless Online without Bamco telling them what to do. Still hope I'm wrong and I'm sorry to see the sentiment is spreading

Round8 agrees to get balls rolling, gets enough funds in to stand up a pc side and now console is SOL, since round8 never wanted to get into console in the first place and now is self publishing and developing their pc bless again. Even if by some miracle we do happen to get awakened on console, there is no way the devs give two poops about console anymore and once any publishing contracts expire between Bandai and R8, console will be officially shut down.

To be fair the actual development team at round 8 probably want to make a good game and make players happy but their studio is owned by Neowiz and they tend to make executive decisions that don't benefit the game or it's players in the long run
