Former Blizzard boss Mike Ybarra has claimed that Xbox head Phil Spencer will be hurting “as much as anyone else” following the closure of four first-party studios.
On Tuesday, news broke that Microsoft is planning to close Redfall developer Arkane Austin, Hi-Fi Rush maker Tango Gameworks, and fellow Bethesda studios Alpha Dog and Roundhouse.
News of the closures leaked via an internal email from Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty, before being confirmed on official social media channels for some of the studios, as well as through the personal accounts of affected employees and their unhappy colleagues.
