Det er i sandhed ærgerligt at Microsoft valgte at skrotte ikke bare Perfect Dark, men at lukke studiet bag, The Initiative, men det er nu nogle måneder siden. Støvet har lagt sig, og som en slags endelig afslutning har studiets stifter og en af de ledende skikkelser bag den mere flade ledelsesstruktur, Darrell Gallagher, forladt Microsoft.
I en besked på LinkedIn beskriver rejsen det har været at starte The Initiative:
"After an incredible journey, my time at Xbox has come to a close with the wind-down of Perfect Dark and The Initiative. I couldn't be prouder of the talented and passionate team I had the privilege assemble and lead. Together, we set out to reimagine an iconic franchise and poured creativity, craft, and dedication into every step of the way. The public reception and excitement for what we were building has been inspiring and deeply appreciated by all of us."
Han kommer, desværre, ikke yderligere ind på omstændighederne omkring sit exit, studiets lukning eller Perfect Darks udfordringer, men nu er det i hvert fald slut.
Hvordan synes du at Perfect Dark så ud?
