Microsoft Faces Backlash Over Bethesda Cuts

While Ninja Theory seems to be in a good position under Microsoft, the same cannot be said for some of the Bethesda studios that were acquired by the tech giant last year.

The move sparked outrage among fans and industry insiders, who questioned Microsoft’s commitment to preserving the creative legacy of Bethesda. Microsoft has defended its decision, citing the need to focus on its priority games and increase investment in other parts of its portfolio.
