Diabolical Theory Makes Xbox Infinitely Worse Than PlayStation, Proves More Studios Will Be Shut Down After Tango, Alpha Dog

The recent closure of multiple Xbox studios, including the critically acclaimed Tango Gameworks, developer of 2023’s beloved Hi-Fi Rush, has leveled an unprecedented amount of outrage towards

from the games industry at large.

However, what made it worse was the trillion-dollar company’s executives internally telling development teams that they want “smaller games” that bring “prestige and awards” to the company, right after shuttering those four studios. Here’s why this extraneous pursuit will lead to even more studio closures within Xbox.

Xbox’s Demands Go Against Its Actions

Xbox had one prestigious game that accrued lots of awards, and it proceeded to shut down the studio that made it.

Over the past few years, Xbox has been on a spending spree of close to $100 billion. The platform holder has acquired extremely famous names in the industry like Blizzard, Bethesda, Activision, id Software, and many more. Xbox claimed that it wanted to acquire them to give them 100% creative freedom, but it appears to have been a devious land grab for famous IPs.

Hi-Fi Rush, a surprise hit from Tango, is a prime example of this. It was a delightful, critically-acclaimed gem which, according to

, exceeded Xbox’s internal success metrics, yet the studio that birthed it was still deemed expendable and ultimately shut down.

What makes it even more ironic is that Hi-Fi Rush was the perfect representation of the aforementioned executives’ comments. It was a short and sweet experience that resonated brilliantly with players and went on to earn several nominations and awards throughout the rest of 2023, yet it wasn’t enough to save Tango from being axed entirely.

If Hi-Fi Rush‘s incredible success wasn’t enough for

’s words, then no studio that isn’t working on blockbuster IPs like Call of Duty and Elder Scrolls is safe, and with recent reports alleging that Xbox will reportedly cut more jobs, everyone is seemingly bracing for impact as the organization trims itself to the bone, and then some.

The closure of Tango Gameworks, though, has deeply saddened and confused many. In honor of the Shinji Mikami-founded studio closing its doors, several fans are deploying a tactic that was also used after Sony reversed course on its decision to implement mandatory PSN linking for Helldivers 2: reverse review ********.

. Ultimately, it’s the talent, the passion behind the games, that truly matters, but the trillion-dollar company’s recent actions suggest otherwise.

Solely focusing on popular IPs like Call of Duty will lead to the demise of creative freedom & individuality on Xbox.
