Could be a Hail Mary by the devs so they don't get fired for slacking off while management decides what to do with the studio.
Not sure what they could possibly do to make it succeed. They still have to keep the shitty design to "own the chuds" and gameplay isn't suddenly going to be fun when it took them 8 years to produce this turd.
Sure, other games have turned things around, e.g. No Man's Sky and I think Cyberpunk. But there was a massive playerbase and astronomical interest in these games. Nobody gave a shit about Concord at any point in time.
One word: inflation.
Governments LOVE inflation and everything that drives it. Higher inflation means they get more money via taxes, they can spend more money and the debt from the money they wasted before gets "smaller".

People might think that's satire but it's true. You're only allowed to defend yourself with lesser means than the attacker uses on you. Otherwise they'll throw the book at you. That is if you're German. If you're an arab or african you get leniency regardless of what you do.

Public safety is breaking down more and more each year and the government, the media and liberals are more concerned about right-wingers who want to send these criminals back.
Because she stood to gain more than she might lose.
It's Fox, so the audience is pretty much exclusively Republicans. Best case she can convince some to vote for her who wouldn't have before. On the other hand the odds of losing voters on Fox is minimal. Also, nobody on "her" side of the media is going to show her performance to Dem voters.
It's a safe bet.
