Well said. Not sure I can add much to how I feel about this.
They're so fucking stupid.
70% of the staff that made Prey left over the course of making Redfall. I'm not sure how they were supposed to return to those roots.
I think Arkane Austin these days is one of the studios of Theseus where very few old devs remained to begin with.
Xbox execs had no interest in anything but BGS when they bought Zenimax. All the shit about encouraging their creative teams was lip service. Game Pass is floundering and they're retreating even more into their shell of profit generating franchises.
That's what you'd expect of Activision, but not of a first party publisher trying to build a platform.

Hopefully a lot of the team can get together somewhere and make more banger immersive sims. The market is rarely kind to these games, but it's pretty much my favourite genre.
The percentage of staff thing cam can keep being brought up but regardless the remaining still deserved a chance to at least try to go back to what they were known for. Redfall was a mess in the making that wasn't stopped from happening and it's a damn shame that's enough to take them out.
That doesn't mean they can't make a good game. As far as I can tell Harvey Smith and Ricardo Bare were still there.
One of the very few series I was even looking forward to from Microsoft. Come on man. This makes me feel like any hopes for Prototype 3 is in vain
Even still, Harvey Smith was there and they could always consult or collaborate with Arkane Lyon.
Arkane were also still working on the Redfall DLC literally a few hours before it was announced they'd all be let go. (9:23 UTC is 2:23 AM Pacific Time / 5:23 AM Eastern Time)
Arkane was a large part of the reason I even invested in a XSX, because I expected I probably wouldn't be able to play much more of their future releases on a Playstation after Microsoft bought Bethesda.
They really hooked me with the first Dishonored release and I loved the whole package of their works (Redfall aside). Was hoping that one day they would return to a Dishonored 3 (or whatever it would be called). Sad it's ended up this way.

1) Harvey Smith was a director at Arkane Austin
2) There are at least three Dishonored games for them to use as guides for how to make a Dishonored game
3) Arkane Lyon, the lead Dishonored devs, are their sister studio and could've lended support if needed
