Phil Spencer's Xbox is a Complete Failure
2,668Microsoft announced that it would be closing Tango Gameworks (Hi-Fi Rush, Evil Within) & Arkane Austin (Redfall, Prey, Dishonored) in a completely shocking announcement that seemingly came out of nowhere following their record layoffs of over 2000 developers after acquiring ABK.
The Lies of Phil Spencer have been adding up lately and the recent news surrounding Xbox Closing 4 of its Bethesda Studios comes at the worst possible time just 2 weeks away from the reviews and release of Hellblade 2 Senua's Saga & the 2024 Xbox Games Showcase this summer. Xbox has been deeply engulfed in controversy and backlash ever since Microsoft acquired Activsion Blizzard. Xbox has had to make severe staffing cuts through a series of layoffs and studio closures with canceled games and rushed development cycles in order to try and earn back the massive $69 Billion spent for ABK last year. In addition to that Phil Spencer has started porting certain Xbox "Gamepass Exclusives" to platforms like the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. Despite this it doesn't seem to be enough to balance the budget to justify keep some of their smaller less profitable studios open despite Tango Gameworks developing the most critically acclaimed Xbox game in years and being the only foothold in Japan Xbox possessed. Throughout this Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox & Gaming at Microsoft, has been repeatedly caught lying both to customers and the very developers Microsoft employs across their studios and this latest round of studio closures proves exactly why Xbox is dying if Xbox isn't already dead. How are you supposed to trust a company this openly dishonest? No wonder why the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S aren't selling and Gamepass Subscription numbers have completely fallen off...
