Or, that maybe people are still hesitant about MS as a publisher?
They screwed over the developers for the Phantom Dust reboot, as well as SWERY with D4.
They abandoned a lot of developers to help pay for Kinect marketing (Aces, Lionhead)
They pushed for everything to be GaS - Fable Legends, Halo series, Forza, etc,
Under their care, a beloved studio floudnered, and made basically nothing worthy of note for like 20 years (Rare)
They shut down Ensemble because they were "the RTS studio", and that wasn't the direction they wanted to go, despite not letting Ensemble work on anything but RTSes (They had pitches for everything from racing to MMOs)
They have studios that exist to to never work on new IPs, just like EA's sport studios (343i, The Coatillion, Mojang, Turn 10, Undead Labs)
They basically have an almost EA track level with studios. When a studio gets bought by MS, I generally consider them to have an expiration date, unless they work on one series for the rest of their time. So basically, I just don't trust MS as a publisher. While Phil seems to be saying the right things, it'll be a while until we see results, and if he retires, or otherwise leaves, it could mean a huge disaster, since it seems like he is the only one pushing for things to not be as horrible.
