    Considering the average time for game development nowadays, these studios barely had time under the Microsoft umbrella. It’s just ridiculous they’re getting shut down already.

      These studios have all released at least one game under Microsoft and those games just didn’t perform.

      I love double fine, but let’s be realistic, Kiln and Keeper… Just weren’t that great. I wanted to love keeper, but it was a very shallow game in the end.

      Game Development is brutal, most studios out there can’t afford a single miss or they are done.

      I hope Microsoft does the right thing and lets those studios go independent again. I want a scrappy double fine again.
