Truly nuts that these are the last two tweets from a game studio that Microsoft just shut down.
Read from bottom to top.
@carnage4life "We couldn’t be happier with what the team at Tango Gameworks delivered with this surprise release" https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/05/microsoft-shuts-down-bethesdas-hi-fi-rush-redfall-studios/
@Lyle @carnage4life They say it had nothing to do with "the risks they took to try new things" referring to the studio teams... But it 100% is? 
@carnage4life For real. They released an absolute gem out of nowhere in a year full of terrible garbage games like Forespoken and Redfall. Truly shameful and just shows how full of shit Phil Spencer really is
@carnage4life The Friedman doctrine comes for every effort controlled by a public company eventually.
@carnage4life awards don’t equal profit tho, right?
@carnage4life @frew Microsoft literally said 8 months ago that they were happy with Hi-Fi Rush’s success and planned to invest in the company. It’s not a matter of profit. Their brain-dead corporate speech about IP consolidation is all about not making ENOUGH profit under the silly and unrealistic assumption that everything must be Call of Duty-level of profit.
@ppn @carnage4life yeah maybe. But it’s also been a tough 8 months.
@frew @carnage4life “it’s also been a tough 8 months” and whose fault is that? Who are the ones in charge and supposedly responsible for it? Why are they not impacted at all? Did you go to the same school of tone-deaf public statements as Mike Ybarra? https://mastodon.online/@ppn/112406490095250937
@frew @carnage4life nope. The disregard for talent in your quest to please “the shareholder”will bite you in the a… sooner or later, though.
@carnage4life It's Life of Pi and many like it, all over again.
