South of Midnight developers have begun to leave Compulsions Games en masse, as corporate owner Xbox starts a big "reset" of the business.
Multiple reports recently claimed that several Xbox Game Studios were bracing for mass layoffs or even full closures, with Double Fine (Psychonauts, Brutal Legend), Ninja Theory (Hellblade, Enslaved) and Compulsion Games all apparently in negotiations with the company over their future. These studios were reportedly in talks to potentially spin off and secure an independent exit from Xbox in an effort to avoid a shutdown.
