Going by MS‘s track record the last couple decades, it‘s all business as usual. It‘s expected from them to eventually close everything down they incorporate into their ecosystem. Sometimes after draining it or letting it rot away, and sometimes sooner than later.

So Redfall was set up to fail, and you make those people fall on the sword, and then Hi-Fi Rush is a game people clearly want more of and could have stood to cost more than $30, and you let those people go too instead of hitting the ground running on a sequel? What is wrong with you, Microsoft?

The same thing wrong with all capitalists.

I’d expect a capitalist to iterate on a thing people liked, which is cheaper than what it cost to make it the first time, to make and sell more of it.

Alas, modern corporations are a fucking mad house, where sometimes not even the most profitable solution gets chosen cause ‘risk’ or whatever.

Stop having such high expectations. They’re capitalists, not video game makers. The money is the ONLY point.

I think my expectations are pretty damn low, and Microsoft is still coming in below them. Moves this dumb are actively against their best interests.
