I think it’s time. #Bluesky has shown me a side of social media I’ve missed over the past couple of years. I know I’m not that active here, but would still love to connect and enjoy the new platform together. Cheers, friends 🍻

Hey, you. Yes, you. I appreciate you.

I’ve always appreciated Ryan’s thoughts, especially on hard topics like this. It’s absolutely devastating to see, and I hope all the best for the amazing creatives here. It all definitely leaves me scratching my head.

[Ryan McCaffrey @DMC_Ryan]

Awful news that the Layoff Eye of Sauron once again casts out from Microsoft HQ today, with Arkane Austin (Prey, Redfall), Tango Gameworks (The Evil Within, Hi-Fi Rush), and Alpha Dog (Mighty Doom for mobile) closing.

As a guy who doesn't pretend how to know how to best run Xbox but has covered this company for 20+ years, I have some thoughts (warning: long post):

1) Phil has talked about wanting Japanese developers on the Xbox platform...and they just shut down their only Japanese studio. 🤷‍♂️

2) Speaking of Tango, is it a coincidence that this is happening after industry legend and studio founder Shinji Mikami left? Was the studio unable to find leadership and/or traction on a new project after his departure? I obviously don't know anything, but I can't help but wonder if this is a factor.

3) Redfall was a huge miss, sure – one that I still maintain that Xbox leadership should've better seen coming – but with Arkane Austin's track record up to that point, do they really not merit another chance? Again, I'm not privy to the inner biz details, but what message does this send to Microsoft's other first-party studios?

4) For a first-party publisher who is in desperate need of more exclusive games on its platform, it is absolutely WILD that they are closing studios. Again, I recognize that the business reality is far more complicated than that, but nevertheless, the optics for Xbox gamers are...not great.

5) Matt Booty says they're "prioritizing high-impact titles," so does this mean we shouldn't look forward to new ideas like Hi-Fi Rush and instead expect very little outside of The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Doom, and Wolfenstein (and maybe Indy if The Great Circle is a big hit)?

As always, I hope the affected developers find a rewarding next chapter of their careers very soon. Perhaps some of them will start new studios and we'll see a lot of new seeds planted that will eventually sprout creative, brilliant, original new games.
