I feel like this was an incredibly short sighted move on MS part. At this point I am struggling to follow the strategy...
I thought all the acquisitions were done to bolster gamepass. Gamepass also should relieve the direct pressure on games to sell millions, allowing for games like hi-fi rush to exist and ultimately flourish. Having a varied and quality game library is what makes gamepass valuable how can a studio like Tango Gameworks not be a part of that?
Also with the launch to multi platform - this move feels premature. Microsoft literally has all the ingredients to be a great gaming company, but they have some serious issues with leadership.
