Why they believed in Microsoft?

Microsoft is doing the "buy and kill" strategy since 1980s... it is even proved cases with internal docs that they talk and support it inside the company.

I mean people that left after the acquisition clearly knew what will happen...

Xbots probably more upset about their studio list decreasing for console wars.

A weird dream... MS always had several studios and never delivered like that.
Perhaps they best time in terms of delivery was with early 360... mid to late was pretty dry too.

That is near 2 decades ago... what they did in these 2 decades? Nothing.

A triple A game every quarter was never going to happen. Pure delusion.

I wonder if @Yuniac will passionately speak on this like they did with the login drama

Except this is totally different. And speaking out from here till next year will not re-open the studio. Hope this clears it up for you

So no Evil Within 3? It's over bros.

[Gods&Monsters]

They are really desperate to get any money for Hi-fi Rush



At least you'll be able to get a Steam key for $1 on Eneba

RIP Evil Within Sebastian Castelanos

[Yurinka]

RIP, it's sad to see this because Hifi Rush apparently was a good game.

The real reason they are upset tbh. Even 2 publishers wasn't enough for them.
