Microsoft opening new London Xbox studio

4.5
The day after reports of Microsoft reducing its Vancouver-based development studio, the company has announced it will open up a new one in London. MCV speculates the studio will focus on first-party free-to-play and online casual experiences, based on job listings.

"EMEA is a key market for us and we continue to cultivate the best talent and focus on growing our business, with this role focused on the continued expansion of our Microsoft Studios business in the region," Microsoft said in a statement.

Microsoft's Xbox presence in the UK includes Lionhead Studios, Soho Productions and Rare.

Some of the "Huge" Billionares are very very charitable. They donate millions upon millions of dollars to support research,development,and education programs.

Bill Gates has donated like 7 or 13 billion i think



Thats a massive ammount of money. I can't even wrap my head around it. Think about how many regular peoples income that is.
Would be a few lifetimes work lol
