Under his leadership, many have lost their jobs and fewer games have made it out the door
On May 7, Xbox announced that it was closing four studios: Arkane Austin , Tango Gameworks , Alpha Dog Games , and support studio Roundhouse Games. The news is yet another example of Xbox —which has spent billions buying up studios—cutting costs, laying people off, and rearranging chairs on the good ship Xbox , which lately feels like it’s drifting aimlessly. Now, it’s time to acknowledge that Xbox boss Phil Spencer is making bad decisions.
” While Spencer may say wonderful things about creativity and letting his teams make what they want to make, the reality is that if those bets don’t pay off , the teams are at risk of getting gutted or shut down, all while Microsoft becomes one of the few companies in history to be worth three trillion dollars. But while Spencer was something of an industry darling for over a decade, it’s become clear in the last two years or so that he isn’t infallible, and perhaps deserving of some scrutiny.
