Yup, they’re sure leaving a vapor trail in the industry lately. The irony of who’s really playing who is in full effect here, unfortunately.Coincidentally, M$ also announced a new special edition Xbox controller today, with an amazing tagline.
Sadly, it has since been removed for reasons no one can fathom.
They are essentially that one big kid in daycare that wants the toys they see everyone else playing with, but then once they get them they don’t know what to do with them.I just don't understand why Microsoft keeps buying all these studios if they aren't going to let them make games.
Tango made them money with Hi-Fi Rush. The game was made on a small budget and made a good profit. Microsoft made a big deal about the game, they called it a "breakout hit" put it in all of their promotional material, ported it to Playstation. Last year they talked about how pleased they were with the game and said that they had plans to "reinvest" in Tango Gameworks. Now they've just killed the studio.
Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard and axed every unreleased project they were working on. All they cared about was grabbing Call of Duty and Warcraft and everything else could get fucked.
Microsoft has some of the biggest studios in the world and somehow has almost no exclusives. Do they even have a single game coming out this year outside of Call of Duty?
