HiFiRush was too good so Xbox had to shut them down as it didn't feel like a true Xbox studios game.

Here Sarah Bond explains why they felt obliged to shut down Tango Game Works. She says that there is no one criteria they use...

However, since they were giving away HiFiRush for free almost on gamepass it seems unfair to judge them by sales.

Then most other studios, like 343, the Initiative and others have never produced a game with such high scores or awards...

So, I think it's obvious that HiFiRush was too good and was making their other studios look bad, so they had to go.

You can tell with the waffle and small pauses she's screaming in her head "Bitch why did ask me that?"

Hi-fi went because they don't care about quality or the user's experience,

They want the numbers. If a game scores 90+ and has a million sales vs. something that scores 60% and sells 10 million, they will all go to the profit root.

Remember how they were willing to release Halo with and how Craig's looked?

This company gives zero fucks about gamers, game companies or developers.

They will happily go about wrecking the entire gaming industry until they get their way.

Tired of these Executives with their bullshit crocodile tears, excuses and so called jutification, they are actively killing our Hobby, one game and one studio at a time.

They remind me of those big fishing trawlers that drag their nets along the bottom of the ocean, destroying entire ecosystems in their wake "We are only doing it because we need to catch fish for people, we care about the environment."

Wankers, the lot of them.
