How a small studio's chance at big time died at Microsoft's doorstep

I haven't seen the 3 minute video and I probably won't, but seeing as we don't have all the details, I think its safe to assume that Microsoft had very good reasons for pulling out. I can't blame them. I sympathize with the dying studio. I'm trying to set up my own studio at the moment and the costs are ridiculous if you want to make AAA games or even good indie games/mobile games that real gamers would play. I don't want to make the typical mobile games that most ladies play because while those are actually good forms of art in themselves, they aren't the kind of experiences that made me love gaming enough to become a developer.
