Color me shocked.

It’s almost as if buying all these game studios was utter bullshit at best and disastrously dumb at worse.

They also lost a $4 billion deal a month or two ago that hit them really hard.

It’s awfully convenient that some of these studio closures happened before that deal was tanked and how they’re apparently on the backfoot even worse following that.

Depends on how bad the end result of this anti trust lawsuit is in addition to if those studios they purchased are able to make any profit on any projects.

They do not want Starfield to underperform.
