Rare has been failing since Starfox Adventures. MS will probably just regulate them to Hololens apps and games like when they made avatars and kinect stuff.

If it's not on Steam it already failed.

Dont think Sea of theives will be a mega hit,.... it probably wont fail, but be a minor success.
Yes I could see MS closeing them down.

I can see MS shutting down Rare if it does. And I guess it would make MS even more hesitant to make new IPs then they already are.

Studios that don't have big hits are always at risk of getting closed, but I don't see that in the cards for Rare even if Sea of Thieves fails.

I anticipate they will be working on the next Fable, whenever that happens. They're funny, they're British, its a perfect fit.

It'll likely Bomb though.

I don't think much of note will happen, it's not like much has happened to Rare's IPs recently anyway.



LudicrousSpeed on 18 May 2017

Will be hard to tell if it "fails". It'll be a GaaS game so it can make a lot of money even if it doesn't sell 5 million copies.



DaveTheMinion13 on 18 May 2017

Based on the alpha "tech test" it will most definitley fail, the game is extremely boring to play by yourself.....and talking trash on the mic you can do with any game. The tech test made me not want to buy it.....dont have time to stand on a boat for 10 minutes....get off for 2 and get back on again with the treasure. Theres a reason theres barely any hype.......also if they do the monthly sub like the FaQ sheet says, thats even worse
