    “ Ninja Theory, the makers of Hellblade, and Undead Labs, the developers behind State of Decay, are also being sold, with agreements in place to ensure Senua and State of Decay 3 continue to ship.”

    That’s not independent

    Xbox will sell the studios Ninja Theory (Hellblade) and Undead Labs (State of Decay) to undisclosed buyers.

    Two other studios, Double Fine (Psychonauts) and Compulsion Games (South of Midnight), will be spun out and return to private ownership under their founders.

  • I mean jesus at least they didn't shutter them but my god is Xbox so dead. Xbox won't even be a brand in 2 years.

  • Why are you defending Microsoft buying out the industry, just for them to realize that they can't handle all of these studios and now have to sell/release them as a W for them?

    Sure it's great that these studio aren't being closed, but let's not for get they shouldn't have been in this positions in the first if not for Microsoft's greed

    They went about trying to beat Sony the wrong way. It takes time it seems like they are trying to take that approach but we will see. Issue is that they want to be profitable but at the same time increase their competitiveness at the same time. I'm not sure that's possible right now, but maybe these layoffs and getting these studios off the books helps with the profit part and I heard they have also frozen giving out new game pass deals will studio/publishers so we'll see how it goes for them
