Oh fawkkkk, that's insane and sad...
Look at what consolidation / acquisitions do to the industry.... look at your work Microsoft!

Microsoft must have seen the devs leaving in doves and they still opted not to get involved and shut this trash down. F for failure.
Sony had the right idea with Bungie. There's no point buying studios if all you're going to get is a shell of it's former self in the end.

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.
Let's hope Naugthy Dog survives their failed MP project.
Also, other than L4D has any of these coop focused games done well?

I wonder how is Bethesda doing, certainly not fine too. Studios and IPs go to Microsoft to die, that is certain.
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

What the actual fuck? They just left, not before MS bought them. Is this some sort of a new astroturfing strategy where you all play idiots and pretend the opposite?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

Tell me, what's the going rate for shilling these days? Don't tell me you do it for free because that'd be pathetic. Imagine doing marketing/damage control work for a multi trillion corporation for free. My man, that pays a lot at least ask for a month of GamePass or something.
They didn’t just leave. They left over the course of development because they were making a game they didn’t want to make
How about you don’t write me anymore paragraphs and you actually read the article?

So? It’s still Microsoft’s fault they haven’t canned the game and haven’t restaffed the studio. Nice damage control, though.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
Cancel the game so people can cry for years like they do for Scalebound and Fable Legends? Thats your solution?
How about not forcing a studio to make a game they don’t want to make in the first place?
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.
