Microsoft, Xbox, and Spencer have dominated the news carousel this week, drawing enormous criticism from the gaming community following the announced closures of Redfall creators Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks, who developed the critically acclaimed Hi-Fi Rush.
Because “gaming journalists” hate Xbox and with the recent studio closures it has suddenly become more popular to make negative articles about Xbox. So if they can write an article about literally anything, they will, regardless of whether it has happened before or not.

This isn’t because journalists hate Xbox. But because gamers hate Xbox, and they know this will get them clicks.
