Game has 176million sales and they don't follow up on a huge graphic update for it which they deem to be "too ambitious" If I promised something to 100+m potential users you know what's too ambitious? Thinking they'll be fine with you cancelling work you promised them 2 years ago with no alternative offered... just... Oh you know that update from 2 years ago? yeah, cba sorry, we demo'd it 2 years ago but apparently making it work was just too much of a bother for one of the largest software companies in the world. Tragic behaviour in terms of what they deliver compared to what MS promises, I think to have faith in their PR spins in 2019 is to be having a level of faith which would be normally associated with religious groups.

Will wait for the deflective "MS isn't the only company to cancel games, isn't the only company to close studios, isn't the only company to do 180 all the time, etc".

Kinda lost interest in whataboutism and slippery slope as argument tactics on here, there's no point in discussing Star Fox 2 not coming out for the SNES in a thread about the Xbox brand power. I'd rather speak about the things that brand is doing as I was going back and forth with @Chazore in the article about this mod being dropped I was just kinda shocked because there is amazing modders on the PC side of MC who have graphics addons which made the "overly ambitious" one that Mojang were working on look shoddy and yeah... Mojang/Xbox game studios/MS effectively have infinite money and they couldn't reach out to some of that modding community and check them a 6 figure amount to come on board and give them access to Microsoft's hardware and software to build tho fan made add-ons into a "super duper" project if they couldn't do anything over the last 24 months.

Naw... they fire money at other studios instead who are already making games so that those games won't appear on other systems, rather than spending some money on what they already have, ya know.... a game which sold 176m units over all systems. It is without question the largest gaming IP that Microsoft owns and a upgrade for the graphics to that 10 year old title was deemed to not be worth completing. Crazy.
