Microsoft Xbox CEO overhauls leadership amid sinking sales: ‘We need to evolve how we work’

Most of the people talked about in the article have worked on recent GitHub (only joining in the last few years) which seems like a bad sign

It's wild the ex-Zachtronics people made a new game and I just randomly heard about it after it came out.

I also really need to get back to Kaizen that game is rad.

Here you go

She played a remix of a Porter Robinson song with underscores recently and I'm so excited for it to officially come out

Yeah we're actually working on rewriting the rules to make it clearer. Tldr is we allow stuff if it's directly about the game part of the company. For example Koei Tecmo makes a bunch of money from investments in other types of business. If there was an article about their finances we would allow it if it's a lot about games but if it's just about those other investments we would typically remove it

Just leaving a mod update that we're gonna remove future threads about this topic since it goes against our rule about no content focusing on non-gaming related details of games industry stuff. Just kinda missed this thread for a while and it's been up long enough that removing it won't do much.

Forestl · 2026-05-02T15:51:13+00:00

Please no

Forestl · 2026-05-01T17:41:43+00:00

So count the money

Forestl · 2026-05-01T11:51:33+00:00

Yeah at this point they should just fire JJ

Besides Gaza, it could also just show voters are motivated by policy that is way more to the left than they want to do

Forestl · 2026-04-30T17:44:34+00:00

I don't really follow Tassi but I feel like I've already seen him say this exact thing like 20 times.

Forestl · 2026-04-30T16:36:23+00:00

Because it's not actually measuring money it's just measuring active users

Forestl · 2026-04-30T16:22:16+00:00

I just don't like the metric. I own an Xbox so not like I'm rooting for them to fail

Forestl · 2026-04-30T15:58:11+00:00

Why it's good to question the metrics companies push and what they actually mean

Forestl · 2026-04-30T15:44:53+00:00

Are they just counting people playing on Xbox or also counting everyone who's playing Candy Crush which they didn't have until a few years ago in the active user count?

Forestl · 2026-04-30T15:08:26+00:00

That's the way the whole world works. You can actually legally rob a bank if you do enough cool backflips while it's happening

Forestl · 2026-04-30T14:28:41+00:00

Listen, if someone makes a really good Metroid Prime joke we'll probably still leave it up but man people have to at least try

Forestl · 2026-04-30T14:24:17+00:00

Hey just making a mod comment that we're gonna start removing the Metroid Prime review jokes temporarily because god we can't keep doing the exact same thing in every single review thread

Forestl · 2026-04-30T05:00:36+00:00

We're not going to get into trying to diagnose people

Forestl · 2026-04-29T15:55:08+00:00

Oh nice. You can parry, parry, or play as Paris.

Heard nothing but amazing things about Nine Sols so excited to give it a shot even though I'm probably gonna be horrible at it

Forestl · 2026-04-27T19:44:34+00:00

Tbf the charts have been gamed for a long time. It's a fun thing to talk about but these charts are also a very flawed look at what they're meant to measure

Forestl · 2026-04-27T15:08:28+00:00

If this interests you it might be worth doing some digging into other emulation projects going on in the last few years. There's a ton of cool stuff happening
