"Microsoft Studios (formerly MGS) is looking for a seasoned human resource professional to serve as a Human Resource Business Partner (HRBP) in support of two of our key internal studios, 343 Industries (responsible for the Halo gaming franchise) and Platform Next Studios (pioneering experiences on Kinect)."
no worries bra, i don't care for pc games either but it's just another example of ms building new studios
firebird, they probably still exist or changed their name, virtually every large developer/publisher has internal tech teams that share tools and methods . Rare built the Forza 2 engine, Epic collaborated on the Forza 4 reflections and Forza's Image base lighting ended up in Milo and Kate and so on.
odds are if the studio sitill exists it has a fancy schmancy new name (e.g. Microsoft visual imagineering compendiata) or is running silent, since they apparently don't make games, only push their tools/tech there's no reason for them to be public, what's the name of the studio that updates xbox live? no freaking clue but we know someone does
