Tango won Klobrille's Twitter poll for best Xbox studio in 2023. HiFi Rush director John Johanas commented on it:

For a studio that’s kind of been “in the background” for quite a while, this is unbelievable to see such community support.

All the studios here did fantastic work so we are happy to just be part of the team.

And thanks for your support @klobrille https://t.co/pvTFWxAy2d

Activision has released a behind the scenes video for High Moon Studios, an Xbox studio.https://t.co/qCfxCL7V2e pic.twitter.com/yFfV7t3iXg

Seems like a nice studio. I really hope to see Phil Spencer slow down the release cycle on CoD so that less CoD support will be needed, would love to see some of Activision's studios working on their own games again.

we're hearing from the so called "gamers lawsuit" side first, before the FTC's case. Both were asking for a preliminary injunction to block Microsoft's Activision Blizzard acquisition. Both failed and are appealing those decisions today

Judges time being well spent.

So, seems like Ubisoft really shit the bed on Avatar, reviews sitting on 69 average. Some critics are enjoying it a good bit, for instance there are 6 reviews above 85 and the highest of those is a 9.5. However, quite alot of critics are saying that they basically just made Far Cry: Avatar with the gameplay loop near identical to what Far Cry has had since Far Cry 3. One critic noted the extreme irony in an Avatar game where you are forced to kill the wildlife for crafting materials ala Far Cry, considering the whole point of Avatar is living in balance with the wildlife and protecting them from the humans.

Makes me a bit worried for Ubisoft Massive's Star Wars game now.
