President of Xbox at Microsoft asked about the closure of Hi-Fi Rush developer Tango Gameworks, spends close to a minute saying almost nothing

of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks have sent ripples throughout the gaming industry. Arkane has a beloved library of games, but recently flubbed on Redfall—while Tango seems unceremoniously shuttered after the comparative success of its most recent title. Then, in a later town hall, Booty argued that Xbox as a brand needed to develop smaller games that would win the company more awards.

"The news we announced," that is, the closures of studios that make games, are"an outcome of that". A"commitment to make sure the business is healthy for the long-term." Bond adds:"But it all comes back to our long-term commitment to the games we create, the devices we build, the services—and ensuring that we're setting ourselves up to be able to deliver on those promises." That's it, next question. No elaboration.

There's a further deluge of quote-tweets I'm not going to share here, because that'd leave us all locked in the same place in a while, but the consensus absolutely seems to be that this is both a bowl of word salad and a complete PR disaster. interested in dwelling on the interview. Bond is a corporate figure, so a corporate answer is completely unsurprising.
