R.I.P. Arkane Austin

Arkane Austin, one of the last torchbearers of the AAA immersive sim, has been killed off by its owners, alongside Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog Games, and Roundhouse Studios. This was a move purely motivated by greed and a callous disregard for the livelihoods and artistic outputs of everyone who worked there. Join me in my grief as I mourn the loss of an irreplaceable studio that meant so much to me and many others, and tear into Microsoft for what they've done.
