    Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 [XBSX|S, XGP]

    Calm down. It's on GP. 15 million people are guaranteed to try it. If it's great the reviews will do most of the heavy lifting. If it's disappointing, why market it?

    Xbox leadership and the Xbox brand evaluation *spawn

    Everyone wants it to be a AA world, but really it's a AAA world. :) Sony and Nintendo certainly believe that.

    Sony Game Studios Acquisitions and Divestitures

    The truth will come out in the end. As much as you're skeptical of the "Tango was mismanaged theory", I'm skeptical of the "MS are complete bastards/idiots theory" as well. I'm open to whatever turns out to actually be true.

    Phil's comments were taken out of context. He was lamenting about how locked to platforms everyone came out of last gen and how great games even don't ensure people will switch platforms. It was all blown out of proportion. I agree with Ybarra that consistent AAA games are important, but...

    2024 may not be kind for game developers.

    I'm not arguing that. I didn't say there MUST be a great reason for it. I'm just not part of the mob bandwagon that thinks all company closures are due to "evil greedy corps". Sometimes there are good reasons for company closures. The outrage culture from people who don't know anything about...

    Xbox leadership and the Xbox brand evaluation *spawn

    Your post is ridiculous. All 3 major console corps have underdelivered at one time or another and Phil has delivered more than most for Xbox gamers: GamePass is amazing value for Xbox gamers Acquiring 30 studios for future game content for GP - A firehose of content this year - Hellblade 2...

    Sony Game Studios Acquisitions and Divestitures

    That's a VERY good question and answering it is likely the key to understanding why MS closed them in the first place. After all, they let Toys for Bob go. In all likelihood Tango was completely mismanaged and couldn't be saved, though I'll admit that we have no proof of this yet.

    They should buy Tango devs. That would be killer PR for them.

    2024 may not be kind for game developers.

    I'll ignore the personal attacks and just state again that it's ok that Tango got closed as long as MS felt they weren't useful to their business goals after examining data we don't have. I know most people around here aren't ok with that, but I'll sleep fine tonight. šŸ˜“

    @ Shifty Geezer. I agree we don't need to get into list wars about who has the bigger axe between Sony and MS. I'm not sure this PR hit will matter in the end if MS delivers the AAA games from their remaining 28 studios. It's always been about impressive content and MS still needs to deliver...

    Why? This guy has first hand knowledge. Instead you believe rumors from disgruntled employees. Btw, the last 3 guys I fired that were terrible employees really thought they didn't deserve it either. Don't believe everything you hear just because it doesn't fit the anti-MS narrative right now.

    You can't possibly know that. Sony has closed plenty of studios over the years.
