Yesterday, the news leaked that Rare had cut staff. Many thought it was due to the poor sales of Kinect Sports Rivals.
What I find the most annoying about this is the message it sends to the XB1 owners or prospective owners. Sure, I get that games need to launch on time (Rivals was delayed 6 months) and they need to sell when they do release (Rivals - not so much). BUT, when you reduce staff at the same time that you are talking about how you are focused on the GAMES, it doesn't seem to match up. Also, does this indicate that there will be even less support for Kinect games in the future (Obviously)?
This all adds up to less commitment to games to me…
It is near the end of the end....
