How would they know its struggling? Xbox had so many studios acquired in such a short length of time. It seems the "hands off" approach wasn't to allow creativity, but was there because they can't manage everything
um.. because they specifically aquired studios that were in financial despair. that was obvious to anyone. they didn't aquire a single "successful" studio except maybe ABK and even then MS swooped in because of the accusations of a toxic workplace that allowed for sexual harassment and assault and top leadership ignoring it.
