What studios do you think will be on the cutting block or be axed completely?

Tango Gameworks

All rare employees not working on season 132635 of Sea of Thieves finally killing Everwild and Perfect Dark.

dear god i hope they shut down double fine.

>>713692612 (OP)
Hopefully massive cuts to Blizzard and putting wow on gamepass so it can die already.

No studio gets chopped but 20% of all studios get replaced by Indians.

>>713692612 (OP)
Why did they think they could sustain their entire gaming division just trough gamepass subscribers?

>>713692853
Gamepass number go up!!
Focus on where number go up!!!

cuckpass makes no sense since ALL games compete for the same guy who pays $10 a month. this is not sustainable. a lone chudda could bankrupt the entire xbox division.

Not looking good for Compulsion Games. South of Midnight will sink them.

>>713692612 (OP)
Undead Labs is kill

>>713692853
They already do. Letting workers go is normal and the numbers are always shocked at a big company and used for headturner headlines.

>>713692612 (OP)
Holy shit, just in time before the Xbox handheld is released. SteamOS gaming is saved.
BASED Microsoft, just keep firing everyone please!

>>713693093
No, you don't understand! Growth! Infinite growth is all that's possible! There can only be exponential and constant upward growth! If it's anything else it's just over!!

>>713692612 (OP)
Ninja Theory are so done

>>713692612 (OP)
>dead weight
Double Fine
Compulsion
The Initiative (with the following cancelation of the PD reboot)
>highly likely but will probably get one more chance
The coalition
Ninja Theory
Undead labs
>safe for now but are threading on hot water
Obsidian
>Safe
everyone else
>should be killed but wont
343i

>>713692979
I could see Compulsion and 343 getting axed. Playground will be next once Fable flops but by that point Xbox will probably be out of the console race anyway.

>Ninja theory
They have 2 games under prodcution and microsoft said they have no plans to close the studio doubt there'll be any layoffs.

Buy studios and then close them. Are they the new EA.

>microsoft said they have no plans to close the studio doubt there'll be any layoffs
Heard that one before

>>713693529
Its not really microsofts fault all the games the studios they buy suck and flop.

>>713693609
>It's not the fault of the people ruining studios
Fucking apologists disgust me.

>>713693686
I dont think there's any evidence of microsoft forcing these studios to make shit games they dont want to make.

>>713693726
We know their influence on most studios is pretty bad. They very much fall into the camp of "Get involved when they shouldn't and don't get involved when they should".

>>713693824
Source?

>>713693401
Playground makes Forza Horizon which is a big IP for Xbox.
The team that is in dev Hell with Fable might get booted but the studio will continue on.

>>713693880
1: They closed studios that made games that sold. 2: While Redfall wasn't entirely their fault, blame Zenimax as well, they sure as fuck didn't help.

Hi Tim

>>713694243
Tango gameworks.

>One iffy example
It shows that they don't step in when they should but they do step in when they shouldn't.

>>713692697
Perfect Dark at least looks close to finished, everwild is never coming out though, yeah
>>713692612 (OP)
Hopefully toys for bob

>Obsidian
>Ninja Theory

>Machine Games
The most likely candidates. The ones I wish would also be closed are:
>343 Industries/Halo Studios
>Blizzard Entertainment (WoW team spun off into "Azeroth Studios" or some shit)

>>713692612 (OP)
I want Activision Blizzard to be absolutely niggered and hollowed out into nothingness

>>713696427
Rare would make me so fucking hard, things would have come full circle, they aren't the same studio that they were during the N64 era and they haven't put out anything worth a damn since the OG Xbox era, it's time to put them out to pasture, they deserve it for virtue signaling on twitter

>>713696747
Their only big release in several years has been Sea of Thieves. Meanwhile some indie-tier slop they've supposedly been working on since then has been going through development hell, including a full reboot from scratch. Rare is absolutely on the chopping block, their glory days are far, FAR behind them.

might open rare vintage if compulsion was laid off

>>713693726
isnt this exactly what happened with redfall
