And don't forget how much hate did IG get because of SONY's decision to make a PS Vita port of FFA and Idol Minds' incompetence (three guys, really?). I feel really bad for Insomniacs, I saw the Outernaunts news few minutes after they posted it - I already knew how are comments going to look… I think it's about what haters say - money, but not because IG is 'corrupted'. Just look, last succesfull IG games before Nexus were Resistance 3 and A4O. Then, annoying kids and haters some of the fans turned they back at the series - not only FFA was a small game that didn't get much attention, it was also really cheap, especially on PS Store. What does Insomniacs do then? Spend their time to update it! Then we get Fuse - if I wasn't a fan of R&C I wouldn't have even heard of it. And when it was released, it got mediocre notes from both reviewers and players. But IG are still making more and more games, they still remain the best video game company to work at! Where does Ted Price get money for all of that? Co-operating with EA turned out to be their worst decision ever, now they need to fix it - the same way they screwed it. That's why they make Sunset Overdrive XBox One exclusive and Outernaunts only for iOS - they need money from their new partners to keep going and delivering us new R&Cs and other games. Insomniacs keep their smile, but these are really bad times for them. And they don't get much help from their 'fans'.

BTN is a planned mobile game. You were close with ITN since it will run prallel with the game (and you share the games' currencies) and it's called Before the Nexus.
Irony. It should be called After the Nexus now

Why did they even cancel Outernauts? It's not like some people spent 24/7 on it. If they couldn't update it then don't update it. There's already a ton of content.
I'll say it, IG's latest decisions haven't been the best.

I think that the idea to start making short R&C games was their worst idea yet, As for Outernaughts, I have no idea what that is.

I agree, but I think theer are things that we don't know, we just neet to let IG do what they want, and everything will be okay…

EA and Insomniac had a great deal. The deal was that Insomniac would make the games, and EA would put them out on a range of platforms. EA never interfered with their projects like Sony did. Sony had this thing for giving IG limits and restrictions around games like Ratchet & Clank and Resistance. EA provided far more freedom for the company than people thing. The only real problem with the deal was that no one understood what deal they had with EA Partners (not games).
Fuse was greatly revised because IG couldn't create what they were trying to. To them, Overstrike felt off, and they felt like it needed to be tweaked a lot, and I trust Insomniac made the right decision in the end, as Overstrike might have been a worse game. (despite how awesome the trailer was)
And in order for a game like Outernauts to stay open to the people playing it, it needed constant support from the developer. They couldn't just make the game and put it out for people to have a play about with, and completely leave it. It needs the developers to watch over it and update it to prevent hackers, expolits, glitches and all that stuff along with balancing and new content (the last 2 it could live without, but not for long).
I don't know all that much about what's going on, but I do know Insomniac haven't made much money at all from Outernauts (they've lost a fair bit), so it would be better for them to create a complete game (the FB and Kongegate thing was really just a lot of testing) and pop it on iOS (and eventually Android, maybe?)
Were we talking about English in schools?

I don't think English is any trouble, but I don't know how you stand with French.
