Lol my god.

Speaking about the closures more broadly, Booty said that the companys studios had been spread too thin like peanut butter on bread and that leaders across the division had felt understaffed. They decided to close these studios to free up resources elsewhere, he said.

This is hilarious. What have they been doing if they are spread thin??

Microsoft bought Activision/King because they wanted money for no effort. Microsoft is getting out of the console game because they aren't making any money for a lot of effort. So, the previous companies they used as a device to build up their console will likely all eventually fall. That doesn't mean they can't just reform under a different name and still make games though. That probably won't happen with Tango though as they recently lost one of their most important people prior to this.

Gamepass is clearly unsustainable. Despite all the glowing praise for Hi-Fi, its not translated to sales.

I assume Microsoft was hoping buying out Activision would be able to force people to Xbox for exclusives so they could then raise Gamepass prices higher.

Then the market turned and interest rate skyrocketed and playing the long game was no longer feasible.

I imagine thats still the gameplan but in the short term its going to mean a whole lot of closures and layoffs.

LOL how many people bought Ghostwire Tokyo when it was a timed exclusive on PS5 again?

Not MS's fault that Shinji Mikami decided to leave and took the top talents with him.

So a developer makes some decently reviewed games that didn't translate into sales on either PS5 or Xbox. How dare MS not keep funding them.

And MS didn't even buy Zenimax specifically for Arkane and Tango. They bought it for Bethesda and ID and the other studios were a bonus.

LOL yeah right. Hi-Fi Rush may have won some awards but it didn't translate into sales, and neither did Ghostwire Tokyo when it was PS5 timed exclusive. Sony would have closed down their underperforming developers, and so would EA and Ubisoft.

A major draw of Tango Gameworks was Shinji Mikami, the director of Resident Evil. When he left he took the top talents with him, and now the studio is a shell of its former self.

also stop bringing up a game released in 2022 that has nothing to do with Tango being shut down due to incompetent MS management.

They were pretty good at pushing Xbox live out to console gamers new to the online game field. And aside from shitty hardware, the 360 era has been their most successful and the one they've been trying to chase over and over again.
