MS gave Rare too much freedom. Nuts n Bolts for example was a game Rare had in the pipe works. The problem with Rare was they failed to deliver under no supervision so MS shifted there freedom to Kinect which turned out great for awhile.
They did have a couple good gems on Xbox like Kameo and Viva Pinata. Sea of Thieves is MS giving Rare another chance at freedom.
