I know people will get mad at me saying this, but if you cannot do your job then you don't deserve to keep it. This is also on Microsoft. How did they not take the initiative (pun not intended) to come in years ago and can the project or reboot it? There's a reason you never announce games too early. |
Yeah... I think most of us like to always focus on the publisher themselves and feel the cancellation/ closing of a studio isn't justified. THe studio itself was formed back in 2018 and if all they had wer evertical slices then I think it's not surprising MS just cut their losses.
STILL
Management should've stepped in earlier to course correct if milestones were not being hit, or MS should've had stricter milestones. At the end of day, MS is still to blame (even if only partially). And when you take this news in connection with all the other studios (who have seemingly had similar issues releasing games, there's clearly a bigger issue at play here.
Honestly, seems like MS just doesn't care about their studios or their people. And that's what makes this worse. I want to say thoughts and prayers but those words are meaningless I guess. I can only hope that as many of those who were affected can find some work.
