Yep. Even if he was concerned he wouldn't want to express that publicly, because his teams would all start jumping ship. Then he'd have an actual delivery problem on his hands and the chance of closure would be much higher.

That said, any studio owned by Microsoft should be worried. They demonstrated that even producing popular, highly-acclaimed games isn't enough for them, so there doesn't seem to be a way to keep them happy.

Plus to admit that would be to express doubt in the parent corp, and that sounds like a good way to get on their bad side and have them start having doubts about you.

Accurate but given the current turmoil and backlash from the most recent closures, I think it's justified to place doubt in Microsoft right now.

Oh absolutely, but if you're part of MS then going around saying you're worried about MS is a good way to create a self fulfilling prophecy where you definitely need to worry about it, where before you might have actually been fine.
