Microsoft's announcement this morning was pretty shocking, so naturally we have to twist it every way and make more threads. Predict the next studio to be shut down or have their announced game cancelled before release. Only thinking about the near future/2016.

Winner(s) get $1,000.

Options

  • No closure/cancel
  • Rare/Sea of Thieves
  • Turn10/Forza 6 PC
  • The Coalition/Gears 4
  • 343
  • Team Dakota
  • One of their other first party studios that seems to only exist on Wikipedia
  • Scalebound
  • ReCore
  • Halo Wars 2
  • Killer Instinct Season 3
  • Crackdown 3

That's such a mean thing to bet on....Rare/Sea of Thieves

Sea of thieves. Not sure if they'll close rare along with it or just have them make hololens games

Definitely one of these.  Or maybe several of that last one.

Have to pick just one if you want in on the pot.

I'm betting Team Dakota. Word is the studios already been cleaned out to just a skeleton crew keeping project spark running.

Wait, I've also just heard about this happening a couple weeks ago, this completely went past me.

Gigantic could be cancelled as well, doesn't look like too many people would care though, since I didn't even see this news on reddit, where it was probably only discussed on the X1 subreddit.

Woah how did this not make the news?

Gigantic didn't have AAA hype, but it was still a pretty hot game with a strong media presence.

Ludicrous Speed

Nah, I was closer.  I expected 3x7, instead we got like 5x7.
