Shinji Mikami, founder of Tango Gameworks, expresses sorrow over Microsoft's decision to close the studio renowned for its unique contributions to the gaming industry.

Tango Gameworks, established by legendary game creator Shinji Mikami, was closed as part of a broader Microsoft layoff affecting several studios.
