  Microsoft Cancels RedFall and DLC After Shutting Down Arkane Austin

  Prey rules.  Shutting down a studio instead of greenlighting more Prey is, honestly, messed up.

  This is absolutely terrible. Permission to be human : to any executive reading this, friendly reminder that video games are an entertainment/cultural industry, and your business as a corporation is to take care of your artists/entertainers and help them create value for you.

  I see a lot of shots at Phil over today's Xbox announcements. I get it. But knowing him as a human, I know this hurts him as much as anyone else. I can't speak for all of the leadership there, but I do know him and I do know what he is likely going through. I'm not trying to...

  I don't understand the closure of @TangoGameworks, I mean... Why close instead of divest? Surely the team would easily have been able to find a new home. 🤷‍♂️

  I had the honor of visiting Arkane Austin in 2011 and 2016, it was an incredible studio filled with passionate developers. Heartbreaking to think about how much they talked about their publisher (Bethesda) having their back to keep creating bold games. [video]

  Tango closed. Sad.

• @locust9 David Goldfarb on x

  @thomasmahler having spoken to friends inside several of these studios- they were blindsided by these calls to the extent that even HR was scrambling. This doesn't sound like something that was explained sufficiently even to those in the loop.

• @theswweet James Galizio on x

  This dude stayed at Tango for *8 extra years* to build it up into a state where he felt comfortable leaving. It didn't matter in the end because MS closed it anyway. I don't have the words... I'm so sorry.

  Is Bethesda Softworks going to be reduced to Fallout, Elder Scrolls, and DOOM? Is that what's going happen? No more experimentation? No more risks? AAAAAAGGGGHHHH

• @rcmacleod Riley MacLeod on x

  Fascinated by the use of the word “success” in today's terrible Bethesda news— if making good games that people love, and making all the Microsoft numbers go up, isn't enough, I simply don't know what is https://aftermath.site/... [image]

  Microsoft shutting down multiple Bethesda game studios including the makers of the critically acclaimed Hi-Fi Rush is depressing on two fronts. First, having a hit game isn't enough to survive the gaming apocalypse and secondly it's now layoff season every quarter in big tech. [i…

  And yet Microsoft still employs the people who work on Teams

• @cromwelp @cromwelp on x

  Leadership have tough jobs and they're compensated accordingly. But it's not leadership that need your empathy right now, it's the developers whose sparks are being constantly diminished by the inability of leadership to protect them from a brutal, hidden conflict.

• @thomasmahler @thomasmahler on x

  I've been in the industry long enough now to have seen how things unfold from both sides and I'm honestly not a fan of the outrage culture we've created these days. Hear me out for a second. I know it's of little comfort for people who have lost their jobs today, but I think...

• @astralberryy Anni on x

  You can't make this shit up. On April 11th, Bethesda were tweeting about Tango Gameworks and HI-FI Rush winning *A BAFTA* for Best Animation. Tango Gameworks retweeted. On May 7th, Microsoft shuts down Tango Gameworks and the studio tweets announcing this. The state of games. [im…

  As I'm hearing, today's news is not going down well internally at Bethesda at all

• @dark1x @dark1x on x

  I was never a fan of acquisitions but, to keep the peace, I've had positive things to say about MS acquiring Bethesda. I retract those things. Activision, I have no real affinity for, but these were two of my favorite Bethesda studios. Really bummed out now.
