Microsoft has closed a number of Bethesda studios, Redfall maker Arkane Austin, HiFi Rush dev Tango Gameworks, and more... Update: More cuts coming

Drop 1st pty games for cheap on GP + buy Activision & Bethesda for billions + nobody fukks with your console or games =

 

[Captain Crunch]

All jokes aside, going after ABK was a bad idea in retrospect. In hindsight, MS should’ve just got cheaper studios that are efficient. Why isn’t Asobo(Plague Tale games, Flight Sim) not owned by Xbox?

fukk spending $70B+ on Activision, when you could’ve had Asobo; Flying Well Hog(Shadow Warrior, Evil West), and Metalhead Software(Super Mega Baseball) for a combined $4-8B. These three studios feel needs for Xbox, as both Flying Well Hog and Asobo have 3rd person action-adventure games(Evil West, Plague Tale), while Metalhead Software makes arcade sports games that could be monetized. Plus those three studios don’t take 5+ years to make games, nor do they require crazy budgets to make titles.

They bought publishers at their peak valuation which factored in multi-platform sales to justify the cost, cratered their own platform due to a decade of mismanagement and then the bean counters started asking how they were going to make the money back.
