Bethesda Games Studios and ID Software are probably the most safe studios, they bought them for starfield/ES and the IP’s

I can also see them just putting Obsidian on Fallout and cancelling outerworlds 2, BGS kind of makes Obsidiian redundant

Sony Stans really in here like roaches when PlayStation has closed more studios in the last 4 years than anyone else.

Studios that made games like hi-fi rush.

Tbh I'm shocked it took this long to start closing studios and consolidating internally, and I suspect this is just the beginning.

No one mentioned Sony in this thread until you just did.

:smh:

He said it perfectly, gamers need to call out all these firings that only happen for some shareholders shyt.

it's happening everywhere not just in gaming. Sacrificing people to increase shareholder money. It's getting ridiculous and people better wake up. Sucking off all these rich people who don't give 2 shyts about you and skate out of paying their fair share of taxes is pathetic.

you're not gonna get the best out of creative people by putting so much pressure on them. can't claim that "we need to take more risks", and then throw anyone that fails on the chopping block

Absolutely wild

Embracer Group pulled this shyt because they had no real capital. Microsoft is a multi trillion dollar company and can't give Tango another shot?

It's really the end of Microsoft in the gaming space. They drove a decent gaming brand into the ground. Phil Spencer sucks and it's high time he face the music for this
