Drop horror genre for a while with that studio. Seems once they are unleashed they have a lot of potential.
It’s a niche genre with many studios getting on the brink of bankruptcy to make them anyway.

If the response was really that they’re happy with all metrics, why would you imagine retail sales aren’t included in that?
Grubb also admitted on Twitter that he has no idea what MS expectations for HFR were.
It’s Grubb. When he gets something wrong, he tries to weasel away.
- Claimed Starfield was planned for a November 2021 launch. Then tried to spin it as “plans change” when Schreier called him out on it.
- Mistook Coalition’s UE5 GDC demo as a new game, and then pivoted to claiming the game was canceled when he realized he was wrong.
And now this shit about MS ‘putting lofty sales expectation’ on an AA game they shadow-dropped.
He does get quite a decent amount of stuff right, especially around planned showcases etc. but he needs to own up when his predictions don’t pan out.

So funny how people missed the obvious point in your first post. MS invests in MS. No surprise though since so many here are just headline readers.
That is just exactly what my message is saying.

What does that mean though when it was available on gamepass day 1. I would fully expect it to not make its budget back in sales, if it did it would be a monumental success.

It means just that. Grubb “heard” its sales didn’t equal or surpass its budget. I’m sure there are many games available day one on game pass have been profitable.

It makes sense but seriously? They can do an overpriced soundtrack release on a format barely anyone uses these days but not a physical release of the game itself?

Awesome. I've said it before but if there's a studio that will get me to buy a Series S/X, it'll be Tango. Bethesda is up there too but I'm much more interested in Tango.
Ghostwire: Tokyo 2 would be an immediate Series X purchase, no questions asked.
Ball is in your court MS.

The Evil Within 3 would be legendary.
I would also be interested in a continuation of the Ghostwire universe. Not sure what the ending is/if it warrants a sequel, but I would love to see more.
Maybe even a prequel where you play as KK.

Shame about Mikami leaving. Lost all interest in the studio.

They will probably join Mikami at Kamuy so at least the team will probably keep making games.
Also I wonder if Mikami left because he knew this was happening or if this happened because he left. Spencer is supposed to be a big Mikami fan so I can see why MS would close Tango if Mikami wasn't involved with them anymore.

What kills me isn't the closure but the massive corporate mood swings.

"Hey. If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft gaming, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on 1 Microsoft Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here...with a big ribbon on his head! And I want to look him straight in the eye, and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-assed, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed, sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?"

I think I've had it with Microsoft. I try to give both Sony and Microsoft the benefit of the doubt. But fuck this noise. Those poor bastards never saw it coming.

I don't buy the theory that they closed the studio because of Mikami. Their last game scored extremely well and there were no rumors of other people abandoning the studio in the recent months. It's very likely they would be capable of making Hifi Rush 2 or some other high quality level project, even without Mikami.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
