It appeared yesterday on the news:
Microsoft's Perfect Dark reboot reportedly in "a very rough state" and a "big, protracted mess"
And in good Xbox Studios' fashion, it's been mishandled like hell.
What developer will be shut down by Microsoft next?

I voted for the initiative, Ninja theory will hang on till after award season/completion of the PS5 port at which point they'll try to pitch a new game and get closed down. The initiative I suspect will be closed down first, too long working on an IP which doesn't really have any resonance with a lot of money being paid to external development teams. In addition recent rumours suggest perfect dark is in a troubled state if they're looking for cost savings this would be it.
Who knows however none of Xbox's recent moves have really made any sense to me at least.

I think those you mentioned are all fair play and can go at any moment Ninja Theory included.
Ninja Theory and Obsidian probably, right after their games release lol
Also, WTF at people saying a certain Xbox Game Studios game "didn't sell". Of course it fucking didn't, it's on Game Pass, that's the whole point of Game Pass, you absolute geniuses

One thing I'll always remember were Xbots hyping Project Mara, something that amounted to pretty much Ninja Theory scanning their office.
It's 100% ninja theory. That game was expensive to make and no one will buy it.
The initiative, ninja theory, double fine, undead labs, and compulsion are all going to get closed before the gen ends.
they gave them all AAA budgets and their games will make pennies on gamepass. PS5 ports could save some of these studios though, but i doubt it. MS is ready for that cod and fallout money to roll in.

they are going to the cod machine. we can also assume that obsidian is going into the ES/fallout machine,
Whichever companies that don't close, will be absorbed.
Those still will be closed then. Some part of those studios wouldn't be needed. So firing more people.
Seems you have a pretty accurate sourceLmao an hour ago. Same source;
We wont have to wait long then : p
iconera with another easy prediction.

Stole my thunder but I had the same three on my non-insider list. Ninja Theory lost their lead and have expensive low-selling games, Double Fine games never sell despite the quality (love Schafer), and IT I'm assuming is The Initiative, who have had 6 years to produce zilch.Lmao an hour ago.

Wouldn't have thought Obsidian due to Grounded. I thought inXile as the fourth.
Double Fine is a no brainer because they never have really made AAA games. The closest was Brutal Legend that was published by EA. Double Fine makes AA games and prior to being bought by Xbox their games were kickstarted. Obsidian being shut down would be insane and will cause the internet to explode. If I was Obsidian I would be looking to get out before the axe hits.
They're already poised to kill Ninja Theory. Look how little they're even marketing their game that's like, a week away. Sony has done more to market their PC ports, and those are almost exclusively done through social media posts.
