With Microsoft's trainwreck history with developer studios....

 

I'm not sure if this is a good or a bad thing.

Umm what are you talking about?

What do you mean 'what are you talking about'?

Clearly Microsoft has shown that they are utterly clueless and incompetent when it comes to managing dev studios.

I mean, they closed ENSEMBLE....shuttered DIGITAL ANVIL, broke down FASA, and killed ACES.

Look at what RARE has become under the watch of Microsoft....poor Rare....they were so elite, and now they are just a poor shell of themselves.

Bungie, Microsoft's best studio, apparently not happy with Microsoft, or at least not happy enough to stay....they jumped on the first thing smoking ASAP....Good for them at this point.

 

Microsoft's ineptitude and lack of management skills with developer studios is pretty clear at this point.  I fear for Twisted Pixel because they are a small, yet creative dev house, who stand to potentially get destoyed by Microsoft's mismanagement.  I certainly don't want that.

Look at the post above this one.
