Yeh, this will probbably cause issues for the Halo Wars release, at least indirectly… I mean, who’s going to work hard knowing as soon as it’s done your out of a job? Great motivational techinique there, Microsoft.

And Norbit was right, Teal… that press release was shameful.

Why would MS even think about closing a studio before one of MS’s their major games is delivered? I have a feeling that the final stages of development of Halo Wars is going to be SEVERELY crippled after this announcement.

Stop the Flame wars please. But yes, norbit has a point, why mention all those games and hype them if the letter is intended to microsoft and ensemble employees?

@Norbit

Apparently you did not even read my last post on this very topic…….either that or you completely ignored it……

Because if you had read it you would notice that I was making a counterpoint to what you said about this being an advertisment…….your last comment attacking me instead of responding to my last comment pretty much negated any credibility you may have had on this subject……..talk about “classy.”

Go Marlins!!!!

@ ManOfTeal

The vast majority of posts I have made on this site were made discussing the topic in hand. Sure, many of those posts are highly opinionated and sometimes provocative but they are all pretty much relevant to the discussion.

On the other hand pretty much every single reply you have written to my posts has completely ignored the topic and instead has simply attacked me.

It would appear you have neither the ability nor inclination to debate or discuss therefore I have absolutely no more time for you.

@Norbit

I think you are mistaking advertising with crisis management. It’s a Public Relations move to divert your attention away from the negativitiy surrounding the studio closing.

Seriously ManOfTeal why dont you try actually having a discussion about the subject or commenting on the actually post instead of trolling and childishly attacking me at every opportunity?

I couldn’t give a shit what company wrote this. The fact they turned a press release about closing a studio into an advert is disgusting.

@Norbit

I am not hating on you, I am asking you a question. And even when it appears that I am being mean to you it is just that I am calling you on your bullshit…..try not to take it so personally.

Go Marlins!!!!

@Norbit

Did Microsoft rape your mom or something? Where does this intolerable hatred for them come from? Honestly…..it’s getting old.

I like how he turns the message into an advert for upcoming 360 releases. Classy.
