IIRC previous Arkane Austin titles are Dishonored 2 and Prey which were great games, but Redfall was definitely not so well received. I wouldn’t necessarily agree they were closed for “pretty much no reason,” but should one big flop mean a studio gets the axe?
With how expensive AAA development has gotten maybe that’s the stakes now, and a reason so many are taking the modern Hollywood playbook of churning out sequels and remasters.
The really egregious “no reason” closure was Tango Gameworks, makers of Hi-Fi Rush.
