The past decade has not been especially easy for Microsoft. The company has branched off in many directions, but was slow to adjust to the shift toward mobile. One part of its business that has remained fairly strong is Xbox, but even that has grown unwieldy
A new Fortnite leak shows another massive change coming to the game, and it might arrive with the next season.
Think you have what it takes to become the model employee? It's time to prove it as CorpoNation: The Sorting Process comes to Xbox and Switch.
From Fika Productions is Don't Kill Them All - an emotionally intelligent turn-based strategy base-builder running a Kickstarter campaign.
I do think it's a good idea yet for the reason that it wasn't successful and there is no reason to continue giving money to a studio who couldn't deliver.
That money can go to other innovations that could work and are proven to work. MS is trying to be lean and able to adapt quickly enough to compete on a consumer scale with Apple and Google.
Was a good decision to trim the fat but they still have a lot more fat that should be cut out.
Studios like-
Good Science Studio
Kids and Lifestyle Entertainment
Leap Experience Pioneers
Platform Next Studios
Microsoft Studios – Mobile Gaming
Lift London
Soho Productions
Or better yet, join them altogether and make a decent studio that makes games for Xbox.
For their vision - No it's a big blow to their "all in one entertainment vision" and a reminder their vision was not well visualized

For gamers most definitely it more resources that could be put into the gaming aspect although I question their supposed refocus in gaming as the deciding factor and coming outcome because it's an unmeasurable statement because there is no way to see if any upcoming support is part of their prior investment like the $1 billion on games or from the this renewed focus. Time will though as how the landscape for XB1 will reflect if those words were just part of a reassuring PR statement or if they meant it.
Good, it sounded terrible for the Xbox as a gaming brand.
They could create a show with Master Chief interviewing developers and celebrities. Arbiter would be the musician and stuff.
