I want to be in the timeline where scalebound released (and was good).
[The Verge]: Microsoft says it needs games like Hi-Fi Rush the day after killing its studio

Oh wow that's actually his bio. Maybe it's just Booty's style…
I have never thought that the Xbox One Don Mattrick saga could be "topped" at Microsoft.
Holy Fuck.
Holy Fuck.
I don't think Phil is in charge anymore.
Either that or the Xbox team is as efficient as Tesla leadership board.

You know someone at Double Fine heard this and like slumped down in their chair so they hopefully couldn't be seen.
I was waiting for that meme template to show up 😂
But seriously, fuck Microsoft for what they did to Tango and Arkane Austin and how they're apparently handling the aftermath. The people at corporate collectively need to get their asses thrown out. Utterly disgraceful.
It's Mike Ybarra's tweet from yesterday telling people that Phil Spencer feels bad about killing these four studios.

Yeah, I wasn't joking. This is literally Booty's whole persona.
Microsoft has always had a history of really sketchy industry moves (paid online, rrod handling, original XBone plans), but I'm legitimately shocked at how quickly and completely they just immolated *any* possible good will. Like unironic taught-in-business-classes bad bad.

Maybe he is the perfect fit.
But i believe he shouldn't be allowed to make remarks, it just confuses people.
he left this part out at the end: "and bankrupted the company as a result"Oh wow that's actually his bio. Maybe it's just Booty's style…

Midway shut down 2 months after he left. He killed the company and bailed, then continued to fail upwards at Microsoft.Oh wow that's actually his bio. Maybe it's just Booty's style…
Literal fucking ghoul.
The funny thing about these people is they don't really care who they fire or how their company looks but care a lot about their own image.
And because of the "worldwide reduction in workforce of nearly 30%" Midway couldn't finish the games they were working on (nothing after Wheelman in March 2009) so no money came in and they got shutdown as a result.Oh wow that's actually his bio. Maybe it's just Booty's style…
Business genius Booty.
I'd say that would fit "smaller game". Most small games still take years to make, just not with a team in the hundreds to thousands so doesn't cost like 150m+.
Its smaller. Unless you want to coin the term "AA and A half"
Fucking hell, Judge got me until you linked the Tweet to remind people LOL
I had forgotten about it.
You can almost feel the pride he took in typing that.
Well then I guess we'll know when Xbox is dead after Mr. Booty bails.
That is a good question.
Clearly Hi-Fi Rush is perceived as a "small game", but it might be seen as a failed "small game" because of production time.
I would say 4 years for a new IP and a rythm based game is nothing, and clearly a sequel to this highly praised "small game" wouldn't take 4 years.
So, i don't see how it makes sense to close a studio that can go in production with a "small game" sequel to a highly praised game.
Bro, Fuck Xbox
This is the final bit to kill any faith I held for the platform at the top.
Reeks of shutting down a studio and not even knowing the content they were making. Considering some of the studios he couldn't even name correctly, it wouldn't surprise me.
The "blank check" truly was the mark of the death it seems: the suits are here in full force now for their short term gains that'll just bite them in the long run.

I can vouch for Kirby64 because he knows how to write, which is a skill Matt Booty hasn't mastered yet
Did those risks ever come to fruition? I don't even remember what was an exclusive after tv show game where I had to save Beth. Made by
