🗣 Thomas Mahler, head of Moon Studios, spoke revealingly about the Xbox priorities that led the studio to its current problems."The Ori duology has become one of the highest-rated releases from Xbox since the seventh generation. I secretly hoped that Microsoft would see the value in what we did and turn Ori into their Mickey Mouse or Mario mascot. I wrote to Phil Spencer more than once saying that Xbox should focus on creating a magical gaming experience for children and families - like Disney and Nintendo. Ori and Moon Studios could be the start of something new, but the execs were too focused on the past formulais not that difficult: release better games than your competitors.If you do this constantly, you will win." Apparently, Moon Studios is lucky that they are now independent and are preparing to release their topper No Rest for the Wicked on all platforms.And Ori was truly magical, but a little complicated.More beautiful platformers still cannot be found. #game
