In the short years that Microsoft Game Studios has been in the industry, it has gotten itself a handful of popular and loved franchises. Of course this segment isn't about the games. Its about the developers who make these games. Which studios made it in and which one got the title of Microsoft's Number 1 First or Second Party developer?"

From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.

Yea, most of MS great studios either get shut down or go independent.

That's one disappointing top 10 list of studios.
Good list. Ensemble should be way higher, but nonetheless...they're all mostly there. =)
