Yesterday, Boss Key Productions CEO Cliff Bleszinski finally introduced his upcoming free to play arena shooter LawBreakers, but the game has currently been announced only for PC. If you want it on PS4 or Xbox One, Bleszinski encouraged fans to hit up Microsoft and Sony. On the other hand, he seemed a bit iffy on Nintendo.
If you like what you see hit up Sony and Microsoft. Nintendo… Ehhhh. https://t.co/OplvMRF76G

Apparently the message has already reached Microsoft…
There have been a number of complaints from parts of the community, mostly centered about the choice of Nexon as the publisher and about the fact that he’s sticking with the shooter genre. Bleszinski addressed them with his usual wit.
People be like "wow he's building another shooter" I'm like yeah I'm not the make a pigeon dating simulator guy, folks, no offense pigeons.

Admit it, no matter who I signed with to build this game the Internet would have found a way to complain, Nexon, EA, Ubi, etc…

People judge an entity by past behavior, assuming they can't adapt in the future, sadly. Nexon's been great w us. https://t.co/rB1eX4uGX8

He also explained why he didn’t consider Kickstarter:
I'm realistic about budgets and the game I want to make, so no, no Kickstarter.

Incidentally, we also got a glimpse on the logos of the two factions of the game the LAW and the Breakers.
