Tencent closes TiMi Montreal — studio never shipped a game

Tencent has shut down TiMi Montreal, and the studio never shipped a game during its ~5 years.

What it means for gamers: fewer fresh AAA bets, more "wait, what were they making?" mystery, and yet another sign that big publishers are cutting anything that isn't immediately profitable.

Translation: expect fewer weird new IP swings and more sequels you can predict from orbit. The closure adds to a growing pattern of publishers retreating from experimental Western studios.
