That ship has passed and it's over. Any dev could be next for any studio not just from MS. You guys worry about things that you neither can control nor have any say outside of your purchase habit. I will be frank, for every studio closure another one forms. Developers move from studio to studio. In an industry where even if you have a successful game you can find yourself on the chopping block, worrying about such things is a waste of time.
I for one only worry about enjoying games and hoping creative people have the opportunity to create what they want but it still is a business where there are huge risk with large sums of money spent. A lot of these game devs fail because they cannot straddle between the 2 situations. Producing a game that can appeal to enough of an audience for success and their own game concepts. While its sad that Tango was part of whatever is going on at MS, I have no reason to hate MS nor praise them. Stuff happens and we may never know the full extent of any particular decision but as with anything in this industry. If the developers at Tango are talented, they will land either at other companies, form their own or fade away to something else. Who will know if later MS regret their decision or it becomes the catalyst for the other studios to step up their game.
