The game director of Sony Interactive Entertainment and Haven Studios’ live service PvP heist game, Fairgames, is no longer working at the studio.
According to the LinkedIn profile of Daniel Drapeau, former game director on Fairgames at Haven Studios, is no longer working at the studio. As of three weeks ago, he joined WB Games Montreal Inc as a creative director.
Drapeau was among the first people to join Haven Studios. He worked there from the time it was founded back in 2021 for more than 4 years. He quietly departed from the studio in August, 2025, without making any formal announcement, instead opting to announce his new role at WB Games Montreal Inc.
This comes at a time where people are already talking about the potential cancellation of Fairgames after the departure of r Jade Raymond. During a recent episode of his show Pachter Factor, game industry analyst Michael Pachter claimed that the competitive PvP heist game has been canceled. He talked about Sony Interactive Entertainment’s live service ventures push, calling it a misstep driven by poor leadership.
“They don’t know what they’re doing,” he remarked, pointing out that while the game industry has enormous revenue in live services, success is largely concentrated among established franchises like Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Call of Duty: Warzone. Instead of acquiring proven mobile or free-to-play publishers such as Supercell, Zynga, or Niantic, Sony invested on unproven teams, leading to the cancellation of Concord and, as per him, Fairgames. He also brought up the purchase of Bungie, a studio best known for console shooters like Halo and Destiny, for 3.6 billion US Dollars. He also believes that Sony Interactive Entertainment further compounded the issue by forcing its traditionally single-player-focused studios into making live service titles.
Fairgames was announced for PlayStation 5 and Windows PC.
