Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Phantom Dust and Darkside Studios

So I was reading Kotaku and came across this article: http://kotaku.com/how-a-small-game-studio-almost-made-it-big-1696997142

Now I will admit that I've never been much of a MS fan, but this is pretty shitty if its true. Seems like a lot of shady stuff went on behind this studios back. It honestly seems like MS wrote Darkside off before it had a chance and they've already got another studio working on the game.

I had never heard of, nor played Phantom Dust back in the day. I have seen the E3 trailer and really wasn't all that impressed with it(turns out thats because it had nothing at all to do with the game.) Reading this arcticle, I did get a chance to see some of the current build of Phantom Dust. While there are problems with it, the game looked amazing. Graphicly it might not be the most spectacular out there, but the gameplay looked like it had a lot of depth and was a blast. 

Honestly... wtf was MS thinking and doing when it came to this? Its really sad to see a game that looks that fun get canceled because of shady reasons.
