It's called the Valve effect. You bring in studios to a highly paid company like Microshaft. Microshaft has no management skills and lets their employees do as they please. Naturally the employees waste all of their time and spend as little of it making games.

Similar to how Valve went from a video game company to a glorified storefront with lootbox and hat simulators. Why? Because Gabe doesn't care, he lets his employees do as they wish which is to spend as little time on video games and waste it all on non-sense while getting paid a very good salary.

This is why you can't reward laziness as it only worsens the problem.

The only actually good xbox studios game I've played is Pentiment.
