Hope people will buhhh a lot the next time they have a live presentation in front of gamers.

My support for Xbox has dwindled a lot this year, but for me, this is the final nail in the coffin.

The biggest thing that's getting me......how the literal fuck do they expect to have any sort of hype around the Summer Showcase, one that they're insanely excited about and so many projects that we've known about for years finally get their curtain lifted, when this happens just a MONTH before the showcase?!?!

Xbox is so damn stupid sometimes. I can understand closing Alpha Dog and even Atkane Austin after Redfall flopped, but closing Tango is the stupidest decision they have made since closing Lionhead and Ensemble. Ghostwire Tokyo and HiFi Rush were both successes, and it sends a horrible message to any JP devs who might have been willing to work with Xbox.

Omg, I'm still venting about Tango. They created a banger of a game with critical acclaim. And Xbox 'we invest in Japan' closes them down... WHUUUUUUUUUUUT.

So can someone explain to me again why my negativity about xbox is wrong? Their only Japanese studio, the Japanese game sites are on fire....

Even if it was forced upon him by Microsoft, I think the damage is done no matter who is to blame, it quite frankly doesn't matter who is to blame at this stage, Phil is the face of Xbox and leading the business and now his reputation and credibility has been shot and buried, studios won't trust him, employees won't trust him, the industry won't trust him.

Microsoft's all about those profit margins.

Could learn from Nintendo, instead deciding to learn from Embracer, Nintendo at this stage is the only company I have any faith in anymore, I couldn't care less if Microsoft goes fully multiplatform, I'd still buy Xbox consoles but this shit...I'm more tempted than ever to go PC+Switch and likely Steam at that, an Xbox controller + Steam...

It's obvious Aaron Greenberg bullshitted us, Hi-Fi Rush was not a financial success, it also bombed on PlayStation.

But neither of those things should be reason to shutdown Tango in an instant. Give them another shot FFS. They are a less than 150 employee studio, they are based in Japan even where wages are much lower than many American states, or if not that, then let them spinoff independently like Toys for Bob, this just sends a message to Compulsion, Double Fine, Ninja Theory that they're next.

One flop is all you get, one flop and then you're dead.

I guess it is safer to not release a game at all under Microsoft. Once you do, and profit margins arent good enough, you get axed. Lets pray for Ninja Theory.
