Xbox is closing down Ninja Theory, the studio behind the Hellblade series, a source tells The Verge. Staffers were told on a call on Monday about the closure.
follow up to the last post just a few hours ago that they were negotiating with xbox. who knows what will happen to the other studios mentioned.
I can’t speak to Ninja Theory specifically but it is suspicious that all these studios they bought up slow to a crawl or turn out lower quality games after acquisition
Ms is in the top 3 revenues and those are significantly higher (>2*) revenues from the rest of the companies below the top 3
Being in the top 3 for revenue doesn’t make you a monopoly. Xbox is the clear last place in the console wars. You can’t be a monopoly from last place lol.
The studios they bought didn’t really change their release cadence or quality after being bought.
