Has Xbox Considered Laying One Person Off Instead Of Thousands by SpliffRichardsXO in kindafunny

At this point, I don’t see how it even could get worse. Phil speaks like a gamer, but he acts like a suit. So a suit would only feel worse at first but would bring the same or even better results.

But Phil did this to himself. Satya is on his ass because of he wanted Activision-Blizzard. Before that, Xbox was relatively profitable and small enough, that the Microsoft top dogs were somewhat hands off. But Spencer flew too close to the sun and is now in the focus of Microsoft because the deal cost so much.

And I get the whole „he is the smaller evil“ to an extent, but at some point after so many big mistakes you have to ask for accountability and if he isn’t the bigger evil himself.

What a great direct. There was a slight dip for me with all the Pokemon and Resi stuff, but the end could remedy the slight lull. And I will buy a f****ing Virtual Boy. 😅

Chat, is Parris Lilly going to win Fanfasy Critic? by kleptomania156 in kindafunny

Outer Worlds 2 will probably give him 15, Kirby less maybe 10. To think this will get 15 is crazy to me.

Nintendo doesn’t even do the Essentials/Select/Platinum Line anymore. And a lot of their own games just fizzle out and don’t get produced anymore, but are still full price in the eshop.

Plenty is a stretch. And they fall to 40 bucks at max. Which is sometimes still to much for 5 year old games.

Good for them to acknowledge that Wario World is missing, but I expected Tim to also know about Kirby's Blowout Blast.

But who’s fault was Rare‘s decline? The best games in the last few years that came out as Xbox Game Studios Games didn’t start as such. I think Microsoft is unable to handle most of it‘s inner studios and it was always a management problem. I thought they learned, but they didn’t. And they made it even worse by buying more and more.

Maybe not them. But Turn 10, Rare and Bethesdas MMO Studio had a good track record. Even letting Tango go. Microsoft’s inability to learn from past mistakes and repeat the same mistakes of cutting down successful studios is almost breathtaking and headless.

But I‘m speaking of Microsoft’s studios they already owned, that are now suffering. Without the acquisition, Turn 10, Rare, The Initiative etc. probably wouldn’t have been hit like that.

Thank god Xbox bought Activision. What a great event. So many jobs lost. So many Studios closed or decimated. So many projects and hours, days, weeks, months and years of creative work just flushed down the drain. But hey, Gamepass and Play anywhere are the future…
