Ensemble Studios closing doors due to Microsoft decision

This is truly shocking news. One of the best developers in the industry with a huge line of successful titles and IP ( Age of Empires anyone? ) is getting closed down from Microsoft. This is why I think selling to the large publishers is just as risky as making an independent studio. Well, I feel for the people I know at Ensemble. Here's to hoping it all works out for the best in the end cause I think they are definitely getting the shaft on this one....
