$10 that he's joining frigging Jar of Sparks which has poached multiple senior 343i employees lately: Jerry Hook (Head of Design), Paul Crocker (Campaign Associate Creative Director), Stephen Dyck (Character Director), Greg Stone (Principal Lead Producer), Martin Deschambault (Associate Art Director). Microsoft is being clowned in their own backyard

NetEase is one to watch, they're doing the same in Japan too, they've hired Hiroyuki Kobayashi (Capcom Producer of 27 years) and they also set up a studio entirely around Toshihiro Nagoshi (Yakuza Creator). If Tom is leaving for Jar of Sparks, then Microsoft needs to start getting more competitive in their own area.

343 losing key employees right on a hiring freeze too, Lol.

The 343 shitshow is unbelievable, they should be the #1 studio on the XGS side no excuses anymore.
