Arkane Austin was 💩, not a loss. Although I feel for the devs. But Tango? Damn. So we’re never getting a sequel to Hi-Ri Rush. SMH.
HiFi Rush is one of my most favorite games this gen, and a sequel would've been amazing. They should sell the IP to Nintendo or PlayStation....

Evil Within was dead the minute Mikami left that studio. He saw the writing on the wall. He’s smart.
That's sadly true

This is the most violent move I have ever seen but serves them right for siding with this facelesss megacorp.

After years of getting gaslight these employees and studios were now safe. They took the IPs and shutdown the studios. Worst than Embracer. Is the industry and the xbots finally going to wake up to MS? 🤡

Poor Tango. What a horrible faith getting sold to this trash company 😭
Will you stop now thinking MS gobbling up all of Japan's big pubs?
Japanese pubs are safe from MS. Imo Tencent is a threat and the Saudis.

Arkane Austin was expected after Redfall, but one would have thought Tango was in the clear after HiFi Rush was such a critical success.
Hi-Fi was a critical success. But it flopped sales wise. Sad because it was a great game. But Xbox and PC fans don’t like those types of games. This is why Xbox fanboys sound stupid, when they say “sales don’t matter”. This is proof that they do.

Now if we can get Sony to replace arrowhead with another dev team, The helldivers devs and the toxic community they have fostered people will continue to clown on playstation. They will continue to destroy whatever little brand image cuckstation has

A manager probably looked at Hi-Fi Rush’s sales numbers and told his boss to cut costs there instead of looking at the creative potential of the studio and investing in it. MS is a middle manager environment, there is no place for creativity or long-term investments.

Amazing game. I got it for Steam Deck and I’ll be double dipping for PS5. I hear the Dualsense makes it much better. I hope the director gets his own studio and makes a spiritual successor somewhere. He has talent.

Can anyone who is motivated give us a list of Studios closed or de-soldered by M$ since 2010?

MS will always be a threat until they leave the gaming industry.
Yes but you need to be rational. This news about MS shutting down Tango, will be seen every small to big studio in Japan. There is no way Sega or any other Japanese pub who would sell to MS. Thou I still agree that Sony needs definitely to buy Square Enix as a defensive counter measurement, also because of other threats like Tencent.

If I was Sony or Nintendo, I'm hiring John Johanas ASAP. I bought HiFi on Steam day 1, and once the limitedrun games preorder for PS5 physical releases, I'm also double dipping.
