The Microsoft Effect - Buy studio, destroy culture, assimilate IP, close studio, farm IP to new studio founded by ex-employees. Case and point...
Carbonated Games - kaput
Ensemble Games - Made sh*t-tons of money, got shut down anyway
Bungie - Ran like hell before it was too late
Indie Built - DEAD
FASA Studio - Microsoft destroyed their culture
Wingnut Interactive - Basically DEAD
Mistwalker - Getting Close
Xbox Live Productions - Pretty much doomed
Rare - Approaching the final countdown
Bizarre Creations - Not happy with PGR4 release, relationship gone sour
If Microsoft had their way, first party games would no longer exist.
