Several Xbox studios, including Compulsion, Ninja Theory and Double Fine, are negotiating with Xbox as they try to avoid closure. Some or all could spin off. (www.bloomberg.com)

Should have just gone the route of abandoning the hardware business and being a video game software company. Spin off from Microsoft

    They gotta be good at making games for that to work... They collected top AAA studios like infinity stones but can't figure out how to put them together.

    For really. Imagine owning Blizzard and Bethesda and putting out what like 2 new non-COD games? Isn't it just Diablo 4 and Starfield?

    I hardly even count those, both were in development way before MS scooped up the studios. Looking back most games they've released were either previously announced by the studio, or at least deep in development.

    Indiana Jones, HiFi Rush and Avowed come to mind as games likely developed under MS by acquired studios, but not too much else. It's a shame to see.
