Then shut down 343i, the worst studio ever that releases nothing but disappointment after disappointment

You didn't have to buy them to shut them down. They were fine on their own.

He didn't buy them, he brought Bethesda. They were just some thing that came with.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer has addressed the recent closure of a number of studios at Microsoft's gaming business, insisting he has to make "hard decisions" to run a sustainable business.

Speaking to IGN's Ryan McCaffrey at IGN Live, Spencer briefly commented on the shock decision to shut Redfall developer Arkane Austin and Hi-Fi Rush developer Tango Gameworks as part of sweeping layoffs affecting some 1,900 staff.

Like spending 80B in 2 publishers?

These guys deserve the guillotine.

$80B at 100k per year for the 1900 employees they laid-off would pay their wages for 421 years.

I don't know if that's a joke. If it's not, not having offline mode from day one is a joke.
