We recently learned that Sony Interactive Entertainment had turned down Bend Studio’s plans for developing a sequel to its 2019 action-adventure survival horror game, Days Gone. An increasing number of Days Gone fans are now voicing their discontent at the cancellation by taking to change.org and signing a petition to get PlayStation executives to change their mind and approve a sequel.

Yeah, you could have 100,000 signatures and Sony might still turn it down. It's obvious the first game wasn't a run away hit that would guarantee a sequel. 80,000 signatures doesn't guarantee a return on investment. 100,000 would only amount to about $6,000,000 in sales at $60 a game.

I'm open for a sequel if they can improve on the first part.

I found the game to be mediocre. Then that dev who recently told us all to eat a bag of d!cks if we weren't paying full launch price for their games, leaves a bitter taste.
