    a reorganization that remaining developers are reportedly convinced will cause irreparable damage to some of the company’s most valuable brands.

    if by “damage” they mean reduced quality: LOL

    how many years has it been since microsoft prioritized quality? ever?

      Late 90s into the mid 2000s MS studios produced a lot of great and/or ambitious games, some groundbreaking like Halo, others genre defining like age of Empires 1/2/3/mythology.

      Other ones you had out of left field like Impossible Creatures or crazy ambitious Ones like JP Trespasser, an open world survival sandbox in the late 90s.

      Lets also not forget the Microsoft Gaming Zone, the free predecessor to Xbox Live.

      Yeah it sounds like they want to take a fallout-like that was half finished, and slap the fallout themes on it and call it fallout 5.
