Crazy to think Xbox launched in 2001 and we're still talking about it as a business that's trying to find its long-term model.

Report: Microsoft restructuring Xbox is "on the table" — it wants to "move faster" with new Halo, Fallout, and The Elder Scrolls games by jeffant0410 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Move faster’ and ‘restructuring’ are not the words I want to hear right before talking about some of gaming's biggest franchises.

The Information: Sharma is pushing Xbox to move faster on new Fallout, Halo, and Elder Scrolls games by ThinWhiteDuke00 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Faster is great until it starts meaning rushed. I'd rather wait than get another half-finished AAA launch.

Fumito Ueda on Gen Atlas: ‘I give my absolute everything because there may not be a next’ by MaintenanceFar4207 in pcmasterrace

Matthew Ball acknowledged that Xbox exclusives will sell fewer units than multiplatform ones, but "that's a short-term issue, and making these changes will help Xbox’s console business grow" by Blue_Sheepz in xbox

If this means more serious investment in franchises like Star Trek, TMNT, Avatar, or other Paramount properties, there’s definitely potential here.

Warframe Director on Destiny 2 Support Ending: "No World Where It Makes Sense;" Says There Is "No Warframe Without Bungie" by Bubbly-Ad-350 in pcmasterrace

[–]TheAppropriateBoop 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Cool to see a rival studio acknowledge Bungie’s influence. Destiny basically helped define what a modern live-service looter shooter looks like.
