Obsidian's modest ambition with Avowed is just what Game Pass, Xbox, and the wider industry needs - but will Microsoft let them stick to it? (www.eurogamer.net)

I have nothing to corroborate this other than my intuition, but I’d bet the outcry against Microsoft in the wake of them shuttering Tango will make them far more hesitant to do something similar in the future. They have done a lot of work to move away from the GFWL era and have clawed just a little bit of goodwill back which does a lot to sell games, and the Tango closure was clearly an own goal that really hurt their image.
