Cliff Bleszinski of Epic and Boss Key Productions concedes PS4 console exclusivity for the failed multiplayer shooter, LawBreakers, was a mistake. Released in 2017, LawBreakers was a high-profile title, considering its pedigree. Known by his nickname, "Cliffy B," Bleszinski is best known for his time with Epic Games, working on such titles as Jazz Jackrabbit, Unreal, and Gears of War. Hopes were high LawBreakers would be the next big multiplayer shooter from a developer known for great things in the genre, but things didn't quite work out that way. 3b2568

Video game designer Cliff Bleszinski is weirdly blaming "woke" politics for his Lawbreakers game's failure. Lawbreakers is evidence that even good games can sell poorly. Despite its plethora of positive reviews both from critics and players, it managed to launch with player counts lower than even Gearbox's failed hero shooter/MOBA hybrid Battleborn. While Lawbreakers and Battleborn are both perfectly good games, they failed for many of the same reasons - competition from Overwatch, PUBG, and (later) Fortnite.

Cliff Bleszinski has revealed that he is not going to make another video game. The developer, who is renowned for his work on the likes of the Unreal and Gears of War franchises, took to Twitter to confirm that he has no intention of going back into video game development.

It is a sad state of affairs as developer Boss Key Productions shuts its doors for good, and in its wake, studio head Cliff Bleszinski is showcasing some artwork of what could've been.

The developers of LawBreakers have had to finally it defeat, and have announced that they are moving on to new projects. The game, which had its creation spearheaded by former Gears of War guru and Boss Key Productions studio founder Cliff Bleszinski, showed a lot of potential through its adherence to fast-paced, fun shooter mechanics of days gone and a resistance to some of the more controversial business practices that have seeped into the industry of late.
