I was just reading the other day about rampant disfunction and disorganization over at Amazon Game Studios. Now this on Stadia, gaming is a tough business even for those with deep pockets.
 
Why?


They’re hiring



The initiative is near their socal studios...and then there InXile and I think obsidian, the latter two have multiple teams as well.

SSM, insomniac, pixel something m (I forget the whole name, sorry) and some other studio that works on tech that is shared between studios (they’re also in Santa Monica) Oh and they have their baseball studio in San Diego

No good is why

Whys that?

Would it be better for for new studios to arise from their ashes? hopefully they stay afloat longer, especially in this current environment... or they could just collect unemployment till it all blows over.

I’d rather theyd get pickup by someone big for security and reassurance at studios they could grow with their skills and talents...especially if it’s near by

MS needs to do stuff with the acquisitions they have 1st before worrying about scooping up people from failed projects.

I see your point, but the studios working on games weren’t really, entirely, at fault...google failed them and the industry they tried to enter.
MS still has better catches it could catch/bigger fishes it could fry.
Start frying the fish they already caught before looking at some minnows.

Was Xbox part of their reason why they shut down?

Bethesda acquisition seems to have been the final nail in the already closed coffin.
