Well, this pretty much confirms what many of us suspected, Xbox didn't shut down Tango because their games underperformed or anything like that. What actually happened is that the miserly, penny pincher Chief Financial Officer, Amy Hood, decided that having 3 different Microsoft Gaming Asia branches was redundant, and decided to shut down Zenimax Asia instead of Xbox Asia or Activision Asia, so Tango got the axe alongside the rest of Zenimax Asia. What an utterly stupid way for a good studio to go out, Microsoft could have simply had Tango reporting to Xbox Asia or Activision Asia bosses instead of the now fired Zenimax Asia bosses, but instead they closed them down entirely.
