*Fun Fact I didn't catch until after recording: Matt Booty incorrectly called the team "Alpha Dog Studios" in his memo and not Alpha Dog Games. Also called "Roundhouse Games" instead of Roundhouse Studios. Head of Xbox Studios couldn't even correctly write the studio names they were shutting down...*
So does this mean that they're going to take down single player games as well like, games like Skyrim and fallout?
Wouldn't be surprised if Booty was the guy who decided to shut them down, I feel like everyone else just does as he says, Phil Spencer wants gamers to be happy but Booty has done nothing but prove to everyone that money is all he cares about over the years
because if this is what i think it means, people are going to pirate a crapload of the games included in this list.
I understand, alright. Bethesda broke Arkane and tossed it in the bin, like an entitled rich kid who crashes their Ferrari. Xbox and Bethesda bosses are exactly the same: no responsibility, no adult thinking, no willingness to cut Starfield losses, just passing the blame onto the least able to defend themselves and lawyering up. Another tranche of the most talented people hit the bin. And we still have to look at Spencer’s idiot grin through it all.
@@5226-p1eno one is going after singleplayer games
Microsoft: "Great work! Really fantastic stuff. You're fired."
Phil Spencer - “ Welcome to Xbox brother, there’s the door”
"Great stuff" bro Redfall has 40 people playing it on Steam
@@Xfacta12482 No one cares about the co-op Redfall, we all wanted the next Arkane Austin single player game.... oh wait, Microsoft murders single player studious as a general rule.
@@MrH4RR7 If Xbox was totally hands off with Bethesda and Arkane like it seems, we cant really blame Microsoft for a bad creative direction.
I dont think people realize the creative lead for the studio left after Prey. Prey is my favorite game of all time, I feel you... but I dont think Austin had another game like that in them.
This sounds too much like Trump. Especially the "You're fired" part.
This is why you should never celebrate giant companies buying up developers. Ever.
Not this lmao.
There are numerous other reasons to not have a monopoly, but yeah, this is also of the consequences...
Not sure who celebrated this garbage to begin with
yep. embracer is another example.
@@yipperdeyip There was a lot of people jumping and clapping at Microsoft buying Activision blizzard which was always mind blowing to me. Even Bethesda. It’s like do you really think a trillion dollar ESG infected corpo like Microsoft is going to make these developers better ?
Consolidation is always bad for the consumer. P.S- get some life insurance if you plan on flying again ever.
Well, there are success stories, but this is Bethesda we are talking about, they were going down anyway.
People really believed Redfall could come back?
People just like to bitch about something dude. they helped spit on its grave and then act shocked that it wouldn't come back lol
@@robdebone another live service death I guess
@@robdebone RedFail is TRASH. Arkane can make WAY better games
@@Bdestiny933 i agree 💯 lol..
People are just that dumb.
"If we lose our way with Halo, we'll lose our way with Xbox"
Well, Halo has been dead for like a decade so it's safe to say Xbox lost it's way
Halo has been dead since Bungie left it seems. Gears of War has been dead since Coalition took over. Things are not going so well for them
Well that's what happens when you base your entire console on one franchise. I know there's also Gears and all that but really xbox players only ever bragged about Halo.
-Phil Spencer 2010? I think. It was early 360 days he said it if I'm remembering correctly.
Well here we are , in a age where they flop games left and right. With beloved IPs being killed off in a vault or by microtransaction greed and Garbage writers and woke devs.
I love Xbox GamePass. Xbox has never been more fun to play. Some of my favorite games of all time are ones I would have never even looked at if it weren't for GamePass. So who cares if Xbox shuts down bad studios making bad games. Move those resources to ones that deserve it.
@@ZidaneSteiner Spoken like a true consumer
Microsoft: yeah shutting down Lionhead Studios was a "misstep".
Also Microsoft: so what studios can we shutdown today...
And Ill never get another Black & White game.
Here hold my beer. I can top that.
@@Mullins11B18 as an aside I like to see a remake of Peter Molyneux's Populous. Maybe I'm looking back with rose tinted nostalgia glasses on.
More like what other Competitor can we get rid of today so people will only have 1 place to buy games from and even if they hate the games made they will still buy them as no competition
Shinji Mikami, father of Resident Evil and creator of RE4 and Evil Within, left Tango Gameworks months ago. People said he was retired. Only then later he personally tweeted that he has done resting and he is back in action. LMAO!
He knew it was going to happen lol
I thought he made Tango for young devs anyway and left after seeing how the director of TEW2 and High Fi Rush was doing and left due to seeing that Tango was in good hands...
@@da_001I wouldn't be surprised. Why continue to put in effort like that if you think it will be yanked away?
creative difference with Xbox.
shame about Tango Gameworks.
AAA game industry in west is ruled by losers who fail upwards, these days.
The issue is anyone worthwhile at these studios is removed. It's cheaper to hire new than keep the the people that gave the studio a name. Everyone need to stop saying x studio is great and instead this person is great. Chris Avellone, Tim Cain, Hideo Kojima etc.
@@christopherhendry1633even those guys are hacks nowadays
If you think Sony, Square Enix or Capcom are better then you're pretty naive.
The west has big independent AAA studios like Larian, CDPR which is not the case in Japan
@@christopherhendry1633 That's not how game devlopment work, one person will only be able to influence a fraction of the final game.
the fact that devs left doesn't mean the studio lost the skills, devs will teach other devs how to do stuff and a lot of know-how will be documented, that means a studio can preserve knowledge and skill for decades (like Rockstar)
@@ni9274 cdpr is running for ESG, that company has also bent the knee...cyberpunk sequel will most likely be trash
Shinji Mikami knew this was going to happen. That's why he left to make his own studio. Microsoft and Japan won't ever mix. Hopefully tangos employees can get rehired by Mikami...
I'm not sure he went to start another studio, but do his own thing. I've not looked into it, but he wanted those devs at Tango to grow while he stepped out to do something on his own. It's been quite a bit if he is, though he has done interviews, two I know of (one with Boken Studios and a few years ago with Archipel)
Aww come on. Not tango works. Hi fi rush was amazing
Wasn't progressive enough.
@@alphaotakuxuhhh Hi-Fi Rush was almost too progressive.
@alphaotakux so that "Hi Fi Rush was a major success accroding to xbox" was a fucking lie after all.
@@ewjiml Which in the minds of the progressives, means it was nowhere near progressive enough. It follows the pattern.
@@ewjiml other than the anticapitalism message it wasn't really
Tango Gameworks got shut down?
Fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK!
Yeah it's depressing as I was hoping for evil within 3
@@amanchoosesaslaveobeys6510 It might still happen since presumably Microsoft still has the rights to it. Doubt it would feel the same though. Same for if a sequel to Hi Fi Rush happens.
@tylertheguy3160 true but without the same devs it definitely going to be different like look at halo gears as example under different dev with only a handful of the original
i wish sony buy them
Starting to think Bethesda and Zenimax were better off independent than being managed and owned by Microsoft. Never understood how everyone had faith in Microsoft to improve them.
The faith was probably just misplaced hope, people thinking "They can't possibly do worse as leaders than Zenimax did, it's gotta be better.."
Because Bethesda sucks balls. Fallout 76 and Starfield were both made without Microsoft.
@@Cl0ne66 Remember the best Fallout games were never made by Bethesda
Problem is a large portion of Zenimax was owned by a Private Equity firm that was already negatively pushing Bethesda down a dark road... Someone was eventually going to purchase Bethesda. That was a goal of that equity firm when they took a major interest in Zenimax around (I believe it was) 2016.
Microsoft hasn't really done anything management wise with Bethesda that they can be faulted for. Again, MS let Bethesda do business as usual, just with more money. Bethesda would have still failed and sucked dick with or without MS.
"Some of our colleagues will be leaving us" no dude, you kicked them out.
The fact that they shut down Tango Gameworks is a damn shame. Even Arkane Austin put out Prey, which was great, they just got screwed over with Redfall.
with arkane i get studio was already dead with 75% of its stafd leaving but fuck me tango what the fuck
Shinji Mikami left tango a year ago and most of the veteran devs who made prey left during Redfall's development.
So, had these studios enough substance to be kept going? I stopped caring about studio names a couple years ago. I try to see where the creative heads are going. studios are just brand names these days, they mean nothing.
they still put out a bad and uninteresting game, I’m not shedding tears for them
@@levikazama2323 The fact that devs left doesn't mean the studio lost the skills, devs will teach other devs how to do stuff and a lot of know-how will be documented, that means a studio can preserve knowledge and skill for decades (like Rockstar)
@@nixladOkay, troll.
Typical ceo, it's on me, now let's lay off a bunch of people that aren't me and I'll get huge bonuses
The Evil Within was underrated & PREY was one of my favorite games of the last decade... this is devastating.
Prey was amazing but not a big seller.
Prey Mooncrash was what Deathloop wanted to be when it grows up.
Prey was a masterpiece.
Was really hoping the best for the Prey IP but damn. RIP. Only dislike about that game was those slow loading screens but amazing game play and story
@@themagnus2919I liked both games a lot , replayed the evil within 2 quite a few times … It resonates with me
They seem to prefer funding those terrible DEI consultancy firms rather than sustaining their own studios... It's a shame, HI-FI Rush was such an excellent game... We truly can't have nice things.
Xbox is cooked.
Arkhane was all about DEI. and not coding/game design.
Even when nothin to do with it minorities will still get short end of the stick and not capitalism and the leadership for being greedy pieces of shit? Bruh gamers were a mistake
Hi fi rush was actually a good game and the gamepass actually hurt its sales. And red fall should have been put down before it hurt the company’s brand.
Gamepass probably helped it get the sales it got. I know I wouldn't have played it if it wasn't on gamepass and I'm sure there are many others that fele the same
yeah even the studio who fucking made Redfall wanted it to be cancelled.
Gamepass always hurts games. This is why you should never celebrate giant companies buying up developers and buying exclusives.
@@PicklePete69 The majority who would have paid full price decided to get gamepass to save money. This game doesn’t take more than a month to beat it so it takes 1 subscription which is $10 instead of the $40
@PicklePete69 the opposite was found to be true last year when Micorspft themselves admitted that gamepass actually hurts base game sales.
Imagine being a gaming company and seeing your big competitor get dragged through the mud for imposing a mandatory psn account for pc players on Helldivers 2 and deciding that you can do worse and close studios, cancel games and attract all the negative press 🤷🏻♂️
And all of that AFTER Sony announces the backtracking too. If anything, they’re smiling cause they know the hate is gonna be pointed at Xbox now
Mergers are rarely if ever good for the employees.
Mgm and amaxon are doing great actually with thigs like hazbin hotel. And the fallout show
@@lupitox_arts_and_animationthose aren't mergers at all, that's licensed properties.
@@joeypizza2761 i said amzaon and mgm LUL
Learned this from Joshua Fluke
@@lupitox_arts_and_animation Hazbin Hotel is CANCER.
Fallout TV Show is probably no better with what I've already seen first-hand.
I worked in the same office building as Tango Austin. We talked with some of the developers to see if working there was better than our current employer. They told us they were one failed game away from getting shutdown. That was about 7 years ago. They moved out of the office building with a short term lease. We assumed they shut down.
Well whoever you spoke to definitely were true to their word.
Well that happens when you sell your soul for money when you don't have to do it.
Your Master Roshi PFP, goes well with that Comment. He would actually say that lol.
yo blizzard and bethesda sold their souls years ago
Bethesda calling out anyone but themselves after making Starfield is wild lmao
The typical pump company valuation scheme. Bought all those companies to look great in front of investors and now they’re dumping them to look great in front of investors, showing they can also take affirmative action.
if every business in america keeps going this route, our economy is doomed.
@@SlavTiger They do, it is.
Microsoft doesn’t want the studios, they want to own all the franchises they developed.
That is the scariest thing about these acquisitions. They are like Evil Epic Games and their desire to buy off many software companies, except Microsoft is trying to harvest game IPs.
I have been saying this since the Rare fiasco: Microsoft is a graveyard for studios.
TRUE
The thing I don’t understand is why?! How do they fuck it up so consistently, yet have the cash to keep buying publishers & studios?! It seems so contradictory
@@Nikkska Probably because they make money from more than just Xbox and video games. In fact, that's most likely not even their biggest source of income.
Microsoft is becoming ea: where studios go to die, and vultures in suits pick the corpse.
Rare is doing fantastic with Sea of Thieves though so I don't get how people say it's a fiasco there.
Bethesda bout to branch into a barbershop with all these dam cuts
Hifi Rush just got rated for Nintendo and all the revenue made will no longer be shared with the devs. It all belongs to Microsoft now and they don’t have to share any of it.
These are salaried employees, it never goes to them
Did you really think that game sales of any kind went to the devs?
If that was the case then how is the company owning them making money if they are giving it all to the devs. C'mon now.
All I heard was great thing about HiFi, and how its was finally a great game from xbox. Now you are telling me they are literally shutting down the whole studio?! WTF?
It's like theyre trying to not be good on purpose.
Ya it’s like the one other game I’m gonna play when I do my month rental with Gamepass. Was gonna play Hellblade 2 and check out HiFi. But other than that I never turn on XBSX. It’s been a literal ghost Town.
But I’m sure MS doesn’t want me as a customer, as I only activate Gamepass when there is a game I just can’t skip on, which there will be a total of one when Hellblade 2 releases.
It wasn't a cash cow, no recurring payments, the only thing xbox cares about nowadays.
@@simpson6700 if it comes on gamepass ofcouse it will fail thats the reason hi fi rush is on playstation and switch now
Matt Booty and Phil Spencer should have been fired and those studios given another chance. Its not like MS doesn't have the money.
Microsoft is pulling a Disney! Buying all these amazing ip's just to destroy them.
It's the goal for woke people, right ? ^^
@@BlackWipeout sure feels that way at least.
I think it's more like Warner bros
I wouldn't have complained if they had closed 343 industries but Tango. Shame on Xbox and it's leadership team. They did the same thing what they did with lionhead. Who is next? Obsidian, Coalition, Playground games?
Ninja Theory(
They thought they would be buying money printing machines like Activision. Guess that wasn't the reality. New AAA games really need an overhaul and I'm glad to see players are starting to vote with their wallets more and more.
Dude, Tango was the gateway to Japan, and Hi-Fi Rush would be great for a second game or dlc, so disappointing
They tried to get into the Japanese market with the Xbox 360 with games like Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon and that didn't workd out either
Why would they double down knowing full well Japanese are PS and Nintendo loyalists?
@@P_D-px6iv they’re not Sony loyalist anymore, with Sony leaving Japan and adopting more and more western philosophy in their studios, they are slowly losing Japan. Nintendo is king in Japan and it’s not even close, mostly due to Japan is going more into handheld for their entertainment than consoles.
@Chaosmite even then Xbox has never had a chance on the Japanese market
The Series X/S hasn't even sold 1m units in Japan they've sold thousands
@@P_D-px6ivXbox is not selling anywhere in the world. Why are you isolating Japan when nobody wants an Xbox around the world?
Sorry to say this, but Japan will never accept Xbox over nintendo and sony even if xbox makes great games..simple as that
So the "bright future" of bethesda is
>DLC for a mid game
>Live service garbage
>Indiana Jones game which could go either way
>Live service garbage
I'll be putting my faith and support on mod creators like Beyond Skyrim instead, thank you but no thank you.
TES 6 sure is going to be something...
I don't have much hope, that's for certain.
Indiana Jones game which could go either way!? Its from woke MachineGames that RUINED the Wolfenstein franchise and is reportedly working with Sweet Baby inc. Have you seen the trailer? It REEKS of DEI.
Here's hoping Once Lost and The Wayward Realms is a success.
Don't call TESO garbage, even 76 is good now
@@psevdonim481 I have zero interest in any live service, even less from bethesda, its not what I want from them and I am sure many others would agree
Embracer Group: We're gonna be buying up all the dev studios, and make a sweet deal, what could possible go wrong?
Microsoft: Hold my Gamepass, and watch a pro at wasting money do this shit.
Did you guys not see the Microsoft gaming executive team? Not a single gamer on there and the roles screaming DEI. This is why these things will continue to fail, people in leadership positions without leadership abilities and who have no idea what their customers want and would spend money on. I'm only surprised this didn't happen sooner.
DEI = Marxism
Phil Spencer is a bigger gamer than you.
@@That1Pete Yeah, but clearly knows nothing about how to run a gaming business. Xbox has been going downhill since 2013
@@That1PetePhil is a fraud. He is a corporate pig like all else but with a nack for pretending to be relatable.
It doesn’t help when these people hate their customers too. Didn’t Earn It = DEI = DIE.
HiFi Rush was a fun and polished game. What a bunch of clowns for them to just throw away the whole studio.
Truly sad...I was really hoping for an evil within 3 😐
Me too buddy… me too…
Outside of exploring what happened to Joseph Oda there wasn't really a need. Don't get me wrong... mega bummed no more Tango. Absolutely loved their games. Hope they reform under a different name.
It may still happen, just not under them potentially
Wasted billions just to shut down studios brilliant strategy 🤣🤣
WRONG! You are close minded, lack business vision and that hurts!
@@markomejac8172yeah, we all should take classes from Phil Spender the $100 billion guy😂
@markomejac8172 care to explain?
It's quite crazy that you buy a studio in 2021, have great success in 2023 and then close them in 2024....
What success? No games from any of those studios had high sales numbers
@@P_D-px6iv Hi Fi Rush got over 3 Million sales.... ( Mix of digital sales and game pass subscriptions)
@@P_D-px6iv no Xbox games since the release of Gamepass had any high sales. I wonder why?🤔
@@yomamasohot6411 Forza Horizon 4 & 5 have both sold over 5m copies despite being on Gamepass

Yeah I was against Phil Spencer getting fired, but this is just clear proof Xbox has no idea how to handle any of their studios and need new Direction.
This is literally Lionhead studios all over again...
Didn't Phil Spencer say they made a mistake by closing Lionhead games?😂
No hi fi rush 2, no ghostwire 2 etc
Absolutely devastating, this is on phil spencer and Xbox!
IDK if you've heard about it but the creative director for Ghostwire Tokyo, Ikumi Nakamura, has gone off to found her own studio and work on a game with similar inspirations called Kemuri. It's worth keeping an eye out for.
Ghost wire was shit anyways
@@RAFMnBgaming Thanks!
@@saintjames1995i loved ghostwire.
And all xbox fans cheering the merger
RIP Dishonored. Im actually livid
One of my favorite franchises. But truth be told, I've always thought Dishonored was done
The story of dishonored ended on a good note. The studio would have been perfect for another single player journey....... I'm sad now :(
@@nickb365 the story, yeah. But I wanted to see more of the world, it was great

I played Hi-Fi Rush recently, and this news has me seeing red as I type this. I am ready to spit nails. They had something GREAT there! 😡😡🤬
Sony tried to force PSN down people's throats just to play Helldivers and failed, and now Microsoft is hurting themselves by aquiring so many studios for quantity instead of quality. The console war of the old days is gone and this is a perfect example of that
Did legacy ever talk about the helldiver psn requirement?
@@om58499 I don't think he did, which makes no sense because that was a huge topic that the whole internet took note of.
@@Eva01-jy2qu7pu9r yeah it weird i mean if he had a surgery again it would make a bit more sense but his last video was 4 days ago and i not sure if he mention it in this video maybe next video
Bethesda/Zenimax, not Arkane exec's or Microsoft, did this to Austin. Bethesda/Zenimax shoehorned an immersive Stealth dev studio into making a Co-Op Looter-Shooter money grab.
They should've been able to make a Prey 2 or something. Hopefully, much of Arkane Austin land at Wolfeye with Raphael Colantonio.
Sad day that could've been avoided... just like Starfield's junky load-screen steeplechase nonsense.
This is what happened to Rareware. Activision will not improve under Xbox, neither has Bethesda.
Hifi Rush was a success from how many people played it on Game Pass. Since not many people actually bought the game it's not surprising that the studio was closed. This also shows that Game Pass can kill games.
WTF is wrong with Microsoft & Bethesda bruh? Fvkk this stoopid companies for shutting down Tango Gameworks. I was really hoping for The Evil Within 3 to rival RE domination. Microsoft deserved to have all Ls in Game Industry. They are DONE.
Bethesda has nothing to do with this. It’s all Microsoft doing. Bethesda are pissed off at Microsoft.
Microsoft itself's never been good with gaming, they've only had the Age of Empires series, even the old flight simulator was shut down while still very popular, they contracted another game, then had to start over to build the simulator they'll abandon next.
its all about money in the end, these companies don't do well, they do lay offs and closers
But they will continue to milk the mid starfeild and fallout
EW3 may still happen. It'll just be under someone else tho.
Remember XBot Shills claiming Microsoft will take over after buying Bethesda? I said back then that Bethesda is going down the drain anyway.
Dishonored and Prey, really amazing games. I don't know what drove the change but these studio should have worked on what they were good at, instead of shifting in the Youngblood/Deathloop/RedFall direction
Dishonored is Arkane Lyon, the better Arkane but still Arkane Austin did good games too, excluding Redfall which started as a GaaS game
Devastating.........But also the first possible steps in Microsoft actually running these companies.
If only I had faith in them to do that: Xbox couldn't even run it's own ship for the entirety of the Xbone era and the tail end of the 360.
So why is Xbox still keeping Ninja Theory alive? This company has a long history of commercial failures. I mean, does anyone remember Bleeding Edge?. What crown does the mediocres of Ninja Theory have? Tango Gameworks is (was) much more valuable in my opinion.
You still have the fake dante head from ninja theory .😂
I remember when people celebrated that Disney and Microsoft absorbed so many IP from movies and video game studios. This is what monopolies does. They ruin everything for everyone else.
'monopoly', xbox is only bigger than Sony in the US...
@@Lolatyou332 Sony is on the same boat.
@Lolatyou332 its not about sony vs Microsoft, dummy, its a world-wide cancer that takes opportunity from everyone in the industry and consolidates it in the hands of a few people
How Phil Spencer is still in charge is mind boggling. He needed to resign about 7 years ago. I remember E3 2014-2016 ish, Phil and Xbox started buying up studios like crazy "Oh we're gonna have exclusives like Sony" 10 years later Xbox has no exclusives is still losing the console war, failure after failure after failure, and the series that built their entire brand has been dead and gone since 2015. At the rate they're killing studios their graveyard will surpass EA pretty soon.
The Evil Within was so good. So upsetting to her the studio has been shutdown.
I remember when everyone was saying xbox saved gaming with gamepass, i saw the appeal of it but i never supported it. Subscription services affects sales and therefore the developers as well. As soon as xbox needs to cut down somewhere they get rid of these talented people without any additional compensation for their games. My dream is that either sony or nintendo picks up these people and make great games for those companies instead. Microsoft seems to have lost their heads.
To be fair when Mikami left Tango he took a ton of people with him. Arkane Austin also lost 70 percent of the old devs during the development of Redfalls. All those devs got replaced by new people. To make matters worse you have MS spending 7.5 buying Zenimax so you know the non gaming MS executives want to make that money back not today or tomorrow but yesterday.
That's what I imagined Happened. He took all the best employees with him...
Ah, the classic "force devs to make games they don't want to make, then shut them down when the games flops" move that EA perfected...
Everyone was so gung ho about Xbox acquiring activision like it was going to be a golden age of games and look what it has wrought. How long until we start seeing these Xbox owned companies trying to buy their freedom back?
i actually wish they'd bring RedFall to the ps5, spruce it up, and give it a 2nd wind.
Lol
Better download prey, and dishonored from gog, once a studio no longer exist the gog versions usually get delisted. Want to have a drm free pc version of those great arkane games, better get them while they still exist at all.
Dishonored is arkane lyon so that will stay but prey might yeah
Tango Gameworks has been my favorite studio in the past decade, and dammit, I wanted an Evil Within 3, that was actually recently rumored to become a thing :( why can't we ever have good things? I f***king hate Microsoft.
If you want good things than Evil Within is definitely the wrong franchise to be playing.
Didn't arkane austin already lose more than half it's employees while redfall was in development? They probably couldn't recover from something like that.
Probably, I understand that loss but Tango hurt more and honestly it's just as likely Shinji Took all his best employees from there with him once he started his new Studio, But the thing is WE don't know that, so on face value it looks Terrible from pOV
@@RUclipsCensors - Completely agree. Prey is also one of my favorite games ever, but even I understand things were bad at Arkane Austin. It's Tango that caught me off guard.
Did Xbox got rid of Tango Gameworks just because Shinji Mikami is gone so they cant milk his name anymore
Shinji didn't even work on the game.
@@RUclipsCensors Tango did more than just Hi-Fi Rush
@@-datrandomdude-6979 Shinji leaving the studio had a ripple effect causing many of them to follow leaving, if I heard correctly, meaning the studio was rudderless and leaderless. with no real sign to improve.
😤 I AM FURIOUS!! I WAS LITERALLY TELLING EVERYONE THAT MS WAS A STUDIO-KILLER AND NOW LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENS! Nobody ever listens until it’s already over. FUCK! 😒
Good! Hope the cleanup continues!
Hope this is remembered as the "Great Consolidation of Gaming Industry". As multiple companies allowed themselves to be bought by their competitors to be shutdown. Even if certain publishers continue to do bad in the future, it's not gone be many companies left to prove that
They killed Tango and after a hidden gem of Hi-Fi Rush. I feel massive hatred towards Microsoft right now. Same for all my friends who celebrated that game.
I also feel for those other studios as they didn't deserve being under such crappy a crappy umbrella.
I saw this coming the sec the Zenimax purchase was announced. Microsoft gave Bethesda enough rope to save themselves or hang themselves. And guess what happen. There is no sugar coating it, if Bethesda keeps going the way they are going, than Microsoft doesn't need Bethesda to continue making Fall Out and Elder Scrolls.
my series x broke down in february and is out of warranty. since i wasnt playing much there, I moved on from microsoft hardware. and now I am glad I did. what a train wreck. everything they do turns to sh*t
I spent a bunch of store points from this one department store I often shop at and got a Series S without costing me any money. I have barely played it in the 3 or so years I've owned it. The only game I have played to completion on it was Lost Odyssey, a 15 year old game from 2 generations ago. I put it back in its box and haven't taken it out in over a year. And this was after getting a few free months of Game Pass.
I bought a series s when it was on a Christmas sale a couple years ago because of its compact size for work travel and have never played a single game on it, turned it on once lol I rather lug my ps5 around and play pc at home.
I should add that MS buying Activision was just a really bad decision. $69bn was too much and now the Xbox division is under intense pressure to deliver. Spencer likely regrets that purchase. Had MS stopped with Bethedsa and swallowed a few smaller studios, it would have been far more in alignment with its A/AA Gamepass strategy. This move makes no sense.
It's obvious they wanted the names and brand recognition, not the people that work there. All the companies that buy out other companies sooner or later they let the people go. It's all about profits not about the people and that sucks unless you at the top raking it in.
Thats what you get when your priority is to shovel slop into "game pass".
Also Matt Booty needs to go. They need someone in that roll that can grow and nourish developers to make the best games for their serious lacking portfolio.
esg won't allow talent to work there. That's why u see all this trash.
This is just sad to me. I love Hi Fi Rush and was hoping more cool stuff from that studio. I hope the other studios acquired by MS don’t end up the same way. Scary times for the industry indeed
I said it before Microsoft even acquired Bethesda that this was a huge mistake. And well...Also, I've felt Phil Spencer and Matt Booty should have been fired long ago.
Legacy: “how would Microsoft run all these game companies?”
Me: “to the ground, run them right down to the ground”
Exactly why I sold my series X and got a PC, tell me lies…
Does it have Windows on it?
@@RSGCProductions So what? Your PC only supports xbox games?
Lies of phi fr
I wonder if Mikami- san saw the writing on the wall early and that’s why he left last year
He probably caused it as much as anything, probably took all his best Tango employees with him
I can understand with the 3 other studios but Tango is the biggest scratch in the head
Exactly!
But daddy Phil wears T-shirts and goes to the box-social just like the rest of the youths, he would never lie to the kids (or dumbass xbot fanboys), he's our immortal god that we all pay respects to as we wake in the morning and face the east to praise the rising sun, er, I mean Daddy Phils Glorious Stress-wrinkled filled face!
Phil is a corporate snake without wearing a suit
So can people stop getting on there knees for Phil spencer and realize he’s a suit and not a gamer? If he doesn’t care about his developers he certainly doesn’t care about his gamers.
Time for Bethesda to take a close look at the upcoming Indiana Jones game: Is it made for paying customers or for DEI cultists who never spend money?
Well if it's anything like the last Indy movie, then we already have the answer to that question. I'm sure Xbox worked closely with Disney to ensure it is made for "modern audiences."
Not going to buy it, it is a bit upsetting that a once good game company has made so many fails.
All the Xbox Studios and Bethesda Game Studios are clients of Sweet Baby Inc. Sweet Baby Inc is also working on Assassin’s Creed: Codename Red. The Feudal Japan AC game. It’s already going to be a trainwreck. A black Samurai and female Ninja protagonists. Another game that is on the wrong side of history.
Prey 2017 will live in my heart forever; same with the Evil Within; while I am upset by this; all the people the made Prey left when they found out they were going to be forced to work on Redfall; not the same studio that created Dishonored & Prey.
Arkane lyon did dishonored that is still all the same devs Arkane Austin only did prey redfall so the dishonored team deathloop are all still the same
I don't like seeing people lose their jobs not at all but maybe this will be a wake up call that Bethesda needs to upgrade and update their hardware or face some serious consequences in the future We want Bethesda not BUGthesda in the future
Given their track record I'd say the answer is somewhere in the range of "not in this lifetime". Bethesda's one consistency is to screw things up and not learn.
The unfortunate reality is that the easiest expense for a business to control is staff. Also I expect Blizzard to get some large bonks. I knew Microsoft was going to be problematic the second they took over and horror stories about WoW tech/GM support started popping up like crazy.
I thought MS was goonna help everything but has made it worse!
It's Microsoft! Look at windows systems and how bad they have gotten. To think xbox a Microsoft company would make.anything better is 10000% crazy
@@def-po8tu What they did isn't anything new
MS is as bad as EA and Activision when it comes to killing studios.
How anyone believed they will make tjings better is baffling.
Microsoft only know how to make things worse.
Who could've imagined!
Remember when Microsoft and Sony were working overtime to outdo each other in terms of releasing banger games? Now it seems like they are only competing in who can mess up this industry more.
Microshit will always be trash. The only time they exceeded was in the 360 days
The original xbox was good, so was 360. After that the company has been garbage.
i remember couple years ago when microsoft was buying all those dozens of studios, all xbox fans were screaming "Xbox won! look at us! we have so many companies that make amazing games, that are now exclusive to our mini fridge!" and look where it all coming to now....
This is what happens when Philly tries reinvent the wheel. Sony and Xbox never want to follow the traditional gaming model like Nintendo has for decades. Too much ambition and throwing crap at the wall and seeing what sticks
12:08 That's a requirement in Japan, he didn't do it out of the kindness of his heart.
Didn't EA do this to a smaller degree. They bought decent small studios then killed them off.
A smaller degree? It's what EA is most known for.
Arcane before DEI: *makes great games*
Arcane after DEI: *makes Redfall* *gets shutdown*
People out here endorsing all these acquisitions but dont look at the downsides of good studios being destroyed.
the most fucked up part is im sure microshit kept all the great ip that these companies created..
can't wait for them to give us a shitty Dishonored reboot in 5-8 years...
Phil Spencer is a real gamer, watch him come out with a Halo shirt next. Phil is looking out for us.
Those Mega Corps like Microsoft dont buy Companys for their staff, they buy them for tech, patents, IPs, Brand recognition. The actual devs are not more then tiny building blocks. Exchangeable, unimportant.
For them, it doesnt matter if a Studio has Talented devs and closes, Talented devs can be hired or just, like a block of Lego, just put somewhere else....
This is the fallout of DEI/ESG.
Companies stopped hiring talent and started hiring only "diversity", now every AAA game sucks and they all fail.
