Wow..that's incredible. For Microsoft, only ip's and statistics are important, hard-working employees and gamers are secondary.
There will be no more xbox for me. But that's not a bad thing: at some point all xbox-titles will also be available for PlayStation 5 in future.

A bit surprised by Tango Gameworks, but I think we should just get used to this from MS. They bought SO many studios.

It's time for the remaining Bethesda and Activision employees to go on strike. Things have gotten significantly worse since the takeover.

2024 truly sucks, Arkane Austin like I can understand, Bethesda and MS probably lost confidence in this studio management, but Tango... really? They just release Hi-Fi rush for the PS5 and they'd probably be tasked with porting it to switch 2 shortly. The only thing I could see that made MS choose tango was because they were cancelling projects and Tango found themselves having just release their latest work and without any project they were too invested in and without any will from MS to fund anything new right now.
