The timing of the Tango closure in particular is surprising, because MS acknowledged that they "couldn't be happier with what Tango delivered" in Hi-Fi Rush.
Sales were reportedly below expectations, but I don't think that's Tango's fault. And now the game is getting a chance to reach a larger audience on PS5 and presumably Switch 2.
MS knows its a good game. Everyone that played it thinks its a good game.
So that closure in particular really sucks.
Redfall was a huge blunder from what I could tell, so the closure of Arkane is much less surprising, but they have a good trackrecord before Redfall, so it seems harsh to do that after one misstep.
