mrmud Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 It doesnt make any sense to me though. I mean the previous studios that microsoft shut down werent putting out financial successes, but as far as I know Ensamble were. Why shut down a studio that makes money? Or am I missing something.

Moatilliatta Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Because they spend a lot of money? I don't think anyone has given an official reason but some of it might be because microsoft wanted them in Microsoft games rather than Ensemble as people in general know the former better.

Morgoth Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 (edited) Microsoft just doesn't believe in the PC market, as they've demonstrated in the past as well. Ensemble, at it's core, is a PC developer, and they probably wanted to make AoE4 or another PC game getting greenlighted, which Microsoft denied. Consequently, there was fighting and MS just decided to shut them down. Bunch of bastards I say. Edited September 13, 2008 by Morgoth Rain makes everything better.
