Five video game studios that shut down this year

"The developer of the Disney Infinity games, Avalanche Software, was acquired by Disney in 2005 to make new games for the Nintendo consoles. In May of this year, Disney announced that it would be closing the studio and stop publishing games. Disney games will now be published as licensed products only."

Although it is correct, but technically kojima production didnt shut down at all.

Evolution shutting down was a sin. Unfortunately they flopped the launch of Drive club. Turned out to be pretty good, but they launched an incomplete game. Motor storm was awesome. WRC series was pretty good. Sad to see them go.

Well fortunately, Codemasters took them in. I hope they're not made to exclusively make sim racers, and still get to make arcade racers like Motorstorm.

LucasRuinedChildhood3594d ago

The studios that made Pure, Split/Second, Motorstorm, Metal Gear Solid and Driveclub are dead (or purged for Kojima Productions). Jesus Christ. The gaming industry is losing so much of its individuality and game diversity by the day, that it's actually getting ridiculous.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit12d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing12d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
