Some people pretty desperate for any sort of win right now.

Who, the Sony fans trying to pretend it doesn't matter that Sony is forced to shutter one of their biggest first party developers because they're broke as f**k?

It's not being shut, did you even read the OP or any of the articles?  It's selling off one division, while still hiring.  Most likely explanation seems like the new IP wasn't up to scratch so they cancelled it and let the people working on it go.  So any staff Microsoft hire have been deemed by SSM to be surplus to requirements. Hardly a massive victory hiring the dreggs from another company is it?
