I don’t know what you don’t get. MS themselves said it was a hit and met every metric.Right.
40+ million players equals flop cause you said so, but HiFi was a great success.
Sony nikkas are broken
But Sony Stan’s just made it up

You think they closed the studio for fun?
Metrics were apparently low.I don’t know what you don’t get. MS themselves said it was a hit and met every metric.

I don't know, but it fits better than a lot of these rationalizations people are coming up withYou believe those lies?!?!

What does this even mean though? Arkane Austin were working on the update and DLC for Redfall, Mighty Doom was still getting updates, etc.
What does that mean for studios like Turn 10 that are just updating games they launched already?
It’s not really rationalizations, Microsoft themselves said the reason is they are going to focus on high impact IP, which means they clearly lied about the performance of Hi Fi Rush.
Xbox Shutters Three Bethesda Studios, Including ‘Hi-Fi Rush’ Maker Tango Gameworks
Microsoft's Xbox will shut down four studios run by Bethesda, including Arkane Austin, Alpha Dog Studios, Tango Gameworks and Roundhouse Games.

Microsoft themselves have lost the plot and it’s clear the xbox division and Microsoft proper are fighting for messaging behind the scenes. When the head of xbox gaming (Sarah Bond) gets on a huge platform (Bloomberg Business) and looks like a deer in headlights a day after the studios closures its clear there’s more going on behind the scenes.

Realistically, why would that be grounds for closing a studio?
they had to trim fat. they chose studios that weren't working on a new game that they had already invested a lot of money into

The studio that put out their highest rated game last year that won awards and by their words exceeded all metrics of success is ‘fat’?
Like i said, the messaging is off here.

Again, and it makes sense to you that they would cut a studio that put out their highest rated game, that won multiple awards, and “exceeded all expectations” simply because they were in the pitching phase?
Either they are really bad liars and the game wasn’t very successful on gamepass or they have extremely bad judgement and studio management.
I don't agree with their decision, but IMO the explanation fits

You think they would cut Bethesda Game Studios if they were in the pitching phase?
