Also Sony, u know what to do. Give the man respect, budget and studio to work. Treat him like Kojima.
Shinji Mikami, founder and CEO of Xbox's Tango Gameworks, is leaving the company
- Thread starter SLB1904
- Start date
They'd probably be allowed to buy SEGA, tbh. Not sure about the other publishers though.
Ain’t no one want to work for friggin Xbox. They’re trash as this gaming thing. 
Great news.
Great news.
The genius behind the studio leaving...
Where's he going, The Initiative?
Where's he going, The Initiative?
He's 67, I hope he enjoys a well financed retirement.
I love that the immediate damage control is to imply he doesn’t want to make games anymore and is too old.
Whatever makes you feel better. There’s a trend at Xbox game studios and recently acquired studios having an exodus of talent is one of them…
If he were to actually retire … this would’ve been a retirement announcement. But it’s not.
Great news honestly.

I knew the talent would start leaving as soon as they could.
First it was Nakamura and now Mikami... who knows how many of the developers at lower levels have left.
That is a big 'fuck you' to MSFT and basically shows how you can't buy a creative industry out if they artists / creators don't want it. The business heads might force it through the gate but it will always fall apart.

He has literally spoken about doing at least 1 more game from start to finish before retiring. I dont see the damage control?
Most of the best Japanese creators are around Mikamis age or older, and 50s is definitely not a retirement age in Japan
He would be announcing retirement then. Instead they've announced he is leaving
You don't announce your founder is leaving the company when it's actually just a retirement
Why do I bother.
Yes, that would be the case if HE WAS retiring, but as I have said, he would want to make at least one more game as per...........................
