 This article here says, while I wish IGN had spent more time drilling Spencer about all the recent layoffs and studio closures, the interview did touch on the subject for a bit. And his answer was about as corporate-y as you would expect. The Xbox boss says that closing any studio is hard on the team, but he says that ultimately he has to run a sustainable business and grow. So sometimes that means he has to make these hard decisions. Sometimes I have to make hard decisions that frankly are not decisions I love, but decisions that somebody needs to go make.
