Microsoft Closes Redfall Developer Arkane Austin, HiFi Rush Developer Tango Gameworks, and More in Devastating Cuts at Bethesda

This is just terrible. Especially after the critical success of Hi-Fi Rush.
I really don’t understand why Tango Gameworks is being shut down. Hi-Fi Rush was hugely popular. People loved the Evil Within games. Ghostwire Tokyo has its strengths and weaknesses, but so doesn’t every game. This is just sad.
“Man the Fallout show was so good, I wish Bethesda would stop working on other projects and put out a new Fallout game sooner!”
*Monkey’s Paw twists….*
What the absolute fuck? I know Redfall didn’t hit for most people, but Arkane Austin is a genuinely talented studio that deserved better. Same with Tango Gameworks… Hi-Fi Rush was on a lot of people’s Top 10 lists last year, and this is their reward??
This fucking sucks. I honestly feel so defeated as a fan of video games right now… Why do I even bother investing in this hobby when the people that make the games are treated so poorly?
Absolutely gutless move by Microsoft.
what can you even do but laugh at this. what the fuck
*Oh, I’ve been here before*
Could someone smarter than me please make this make sense? Why does xbox buy these studios up just to kill them? It just seems so clueless and wasteful.
Absolutely stunned. Tango made the only surprise-hit Microsoft exclusive in the last two years. They didn’t deserve this, they deserved a sequel.
>Alpha Dog Studios – **This studio will also close. We appreciate the team’s creativity in bringing Doom to new players.** Mighty Doom will be sunset on August 7 and we will be turning off the ability for players to make any purchases in the game.
>Tango Gameworks – **Tango Gameworks will also close. We are thankful for their contributions to Bethesda and players around the world.** Hi-Fi Rush will continue to be available to players on the platforms it is today.
So, you all have no jobs, but thanks!
Bethesda should have been closed a long time ago.
Go figure. They only wanted Bethesda and id. Why keep the rest…
I don’t get it. Doesn’t MS want more Bethesda games in a shorter time period? I have not studied buisness economics and all that jazz, but doesn’t removing workforce reduce productivity?
*Everyone Disliked That*
