The door has been opened, so who knows what Microsoft could decide to do in the future.

Of all these studios, we get that Redfall wasn’t the success we all hoped for.
Instead, it signals that one bad game could end your entire studio.

I hope this isn’t part of your attempt tooutput Bethesda gamesat a greater pace.
These aren’t the sacrifices your fans want to see.

In fact, this makes me want to play your games less.
