Yes. Cancel a failed product, restaff the studio and start working on a new game.

Well, MS let them to their own devices and this happened. This is 100% on MS, no amount of damage control will change that.
Hands off approach my ass.
Yes. Because Zenimax forcing a studio to make a game they don’t want to make, causing most the staff to leave, is completely fine in game development. Nothing wrong there!
The one its gonna get your ass banned

But the Arkane people DIDN'T WANT to make Redfall, their leadership FORCED them to. Can you read?
Also, if MS could cancel the PS5 version, they also could've canceled the game altogether.
There's no excuse, shill, this is 100% on MS. Give up.

Those people left before Microsoft bought them. Thats how Weird West happened and Wolfeye Studios was born. Zenimax had them making a game they didnt want to make so they left

Nice try tho 😂
LOL and just like that, this thread…

Thats literally what I said. Can you read? Zenimax forced Arkane to make a GAAS MTX game, even though they didn’t want to, causing people to leave

What about this are you NOT understanding? I can break it down even slower for you because you clearly are having trouble comprehending

If Microsoft knew that the previous management was forcing Arkane to make a game, why didn't Microsoft support the devs and say you don't have to make that game anymore now that you have our money?

Kinda weird to pin the blame solely on Microsoft though? If anything Microsoft should have scaled back this game and not rush announce it, they way they did knowing the shape it would be in.

And MS bought them, could’ve canceled the game, but they just canceled the ps5 version.
Hence, this is on MS. 🤷🏻‍♂️

As we said multiple times, the only involvement Microsoft had with Bethesda games is cancelling the PS5 version. That's it.

They don't deserve any credit for anything (hifi flop, Starfield included) just blame for not caring about anything else.

The most anti-consumer move ever.

If they can still be counted as a studio for purposes of list wars Xbox fans won't even notice.

Shift to GaaS claims another soul:
Lionhead - Fable Legends
Crytec - Hunt Showdown
Bioware - Anthem.
Crystal Dynamics - Avengers.
Rocksteady - Suicide Squad.
Arkane Austin - Redfall.
343 - Halo Infinite
Playground - Forza Horizon 5
Bethesda - Fallout 76 / Elder Scrolls Online

The next ones will be:
Turn 10 - Forza Motorsport
The Coalition - Gears 6

Let's hope Naugthy Dog survives their failed MP project.
Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, GTAV, God of War Ragnarok, Gran Turismo 7 or Horizon Forbidden West were also delayed too. Are they failed games to you too?

Most of the games in the industry get delayed, which doesn't mean they are failed projects at all. It only means the games required some extra time more than the one they originally planned, something normal because creative work isn't something can be planned like the production in a factory.

Please, stop with this nonsensical Sony hate spam.

Yep. You can’t let your studios do whatever they want without supervision while pretending you had nothing to do with it, because you have absolutely everything to do with it.
MS owns zenimax and Arkane, is responsible for both so every single failure they produce is 100% on MS.
