Done deal.
Usually people leaves their position after the job is done.
his job as a double agent for microsoft?
Microsoft would never do such a thing. Just look at their successful acquisition of Nokia.
(Seriously though, guy probably had a few buddies at MS and liked working with MS overall, he got sold on the idea and helped sell it to SE with great big blinders on. Idiot, not agent.)
Tomb Raider is officially dad.
lawdIt was expected.

Doubt Sony will pay money to make TR exclusive for the sequel, series is tainted now.
I'm fairly confident Sony would rather start pushing Horizon as their flagship action/survival franchise once UC4 is done.On the other hand, for the next release it would probably make a lot of sense to partner with Sony for the marketing in the same way Destiny, Battlefront, MGSV, etc have done. Especially if Uncharted is finished after 4 - or at least dormant for a few years.

Bad decision = somebody in change fired.
Real world.
Mattrick already had a job lined up immediately after he left. I pretty sure he had every intention of leaving Xbox.
Like others before him... everybody in big positions left in common deal and have contact for new jobs.He left of his own free choice?

I think problem with that is, that Crystal Dynamics hasn't made a Playstation game in a long time, all their games to platforms other than Xbox has usually been ported by another studio, so they have a long history working with Microsoft/Xbox. I don't think Sony would have that much interest and same with Crystal Dynamics, although of course it would be Square Enix decision.
He'll be officially on the MS payroll soon if his past actions show us anything.
Crystal didn't make the 2013 ps3 version?
This is going to turn into another Rise of the Tomb Raider failure thread isn't it?
Saw this coming. Now who okayed the released date for tomb raider?
isn't up to square-enix to accept/refuse a deal with MS for tomb raider? i don't think it's the guy fault for the sales

Blessing in disguise considering how much better the Nixxes ports are than CD ones on their lead platformLike others have said, CD is an Xbox exclussive development studio, and have been for about a decade. They leave the PC and Playstation ports to other studios, despite the fact those versions see better sales. The idea that they ignored all common sense and obvious fan backlash to get this deal made is all too realistic given their past actions.
