Legendary creator Shinji Mikami has one word for Microsoft shutting down the studio he founded: 'Sad'

Remember everyone, this merger was good for consumers. That’s why it was ok-ed by regulators and the courts (and for no other reason). Venal, unelected septuagenarians have your best interest in mind.

Also, Microsoft is famous for giving consumers what they want. For instance, Microsoft Word has no autosave function because consumers don’t want to save their word documents. (If they did, they would buy OneDrive, which is the only way to autosave on a word processing app that costs money.) I mean, just look at Windows. It’s a steaming pile of garbage because that’s the aesthetic that users know and love! If they didn’t love it, why would they keep buying it? Checkmate, naysayers.

Anyway, that’s why all of gaming will soon be pay-to-win mobile games. The end.

I saw people defending MS here, saying technically nobody lost their job because the staff was moved to other MS developers. So let me just tell you that jobs are next on the chopping block and they‘re just doing it independently of the studios they just killed.

Put your money where your mouth is. But indie games. It's really that simple

Does that mean no Evil Within 3?

Yeah he’s so sad that he left the studio before it was shuttered. So sad.
