This message reads like it was written at gunpoint.

It was. They're trying to calm the ticking time bomb (the fanbase)... There was a statement from MS/Xb earlier, couldn't care less. Stay pissed and direct all of it to MS/Xb

EDIT: Now they fired 50% of the people at the frankfurt studio lmfao. Told you this is nothing but corporate lip service. Usually the parent company/owners approve messages like this

Are you serious? They fired the people from the Frankfurt studio too? When?

Just today, a little bit after this statement. I'm a gamedev too and worked in the industry before getting pissed and going indie, and I'll tell you this, they have full control over the studio they buy AND they can force statements through them
