I don’t understand how people think this reflects the current Xbox games studios output

1. This was a Don Mattrick game

2. It wasn’t done by first party studio

3. Troubled development

While I agree that MS’s output has been rather mediocre this gen I think there’s a few people that are a little too happy to see this, and are pushing a narrative. MS’s first party is just shaping up and I’m all for criticizing it if the next batch is bad, but to use crackdown as an example of its current state is silly.

uhm.. Quantum Break, Sunset Overdrive, Ori and Cuphead all weren't done by a MS first party studio - even Playground were bought very recently, so development of all Forza Horizon titles happend when they were not 1st party

without those titles MS' output this gen looks a lot worse

Okay so we’ve agree, nice to know
