    This in particular is probably the worst thing to come out of this whole thing. id was an ecosystem, not just a dev house. I’m not sure that many will be able to forgive Microsoft after this one. Out of all the studios, this one is the most damning. There just isn’t a clean logic to it other than pure corporate shortsighted greed.
