wait, did they buy a studio, or just formed one.

it sounds like they just formed one, well where did they get the employees from, are they talented, what experience do they have?

they said they will be working on "core" games, but by the look of thing (posts in this thread) it looks like its going to be a Kinect game.

also this gen is nearly over, so unless they will only have 1 year dev time (which would make sense for most kinect games, but also unfortunately probably means low budget casual kinect game) or they will release it the last year of this gen, and get no sales, or next gen, which doesnt help this gen.

i want microsoft to win me over, with games, which means they need studios, and Kinect wont do it for me. my allegiance is to games, and if Microsoft will provide them, this gen or next, i will gladly come over

Buy, the team was already there and apparently have made a game for FB or something before. But they are hiring and expanding the team
