Yeah, ND for example started the gen with something like 80 employees and now they seem to be 200+

Are you sure Black Tusk are working on 4 games? Because unless they've hired like 500 people there, then that would indicate they are arcade games, not AAA?

Anyway, I totally agree, doesn't mean I'm not pissed about Microsoft closing Ensemble so I don't get Halo Wars 2!

Yeah they announced they're working on 4 games a while ago.  All we know is one of them is a big AAA game.  The other 3 are probably smaller.  Or two big and two smaller.  

But yeah it sucks that Ensemble Studios had to go :/  Same with Liverpool and THQ as a whole.  I think out of all the ones that I can think of those have been some of the more upsetting shutdowns in the last generation.

Awesome.

Microsoft just keeping bringing awesome exclusives like Ryse, Forza 5 and Killer Instinct to the One. And I'll be very very happy.
