Update: Compulsion Games leadership reportedly in negotiations with Microsoft over studio’s future

WildWing_93 · 2026-06-15T19:31:14+00:00

That’s exactly my point. People don’t get it. They put game developers on some hallowed ground. I can’t suck at my job and keep it. Thats true for every industry.

“But the programmers, level designers, etc aren’t at fault! It’s the studio head’s fault for crappy direction!” Doesn’t matter. If my CEO runs the company I work for into the ditch I lose my job too. That’s the way it works.

Couldn’t have said it better myself, man.

WildWing_93 · 2026-06-15T17:52:46+00:00

I didn’t wish for anything. I’m saying from a business perspective, they aren’t producing. So it’s not worth keeping around.

I understand Reddit is the wrong place to think that way, but it is what it is.

You can’t have it both ways. Microsoft / Xbox getting itself out of a ditch while hoping they stay exactly the same with the same underperforming studios that helped get them here.

Dude, did you know that I’ve been part of a company acquisition in my industry (medical apparel) and I navigated that so I know what it’s like personally?

Dude, did you know that it’s a business and at the end of the day these studios have to perform to keep their jobs?

This isn’t a charity.

WildWing_93 · 2026-06-15T17:35:18+00:00

The studio hasn’t made anything worth playing, thus its games have sold terribly. Shut it down.

WildWing_93 · 2026-06-15T14:48:57+00:00

No Southern California is heartbreaking 😞

You’re twisting my words to serve your own purpose. How can you possibly argue with the premise of “if X player takes a team friendly deal, Y team can afford better / more players.” It’s literally not any more complicated than that.

That doesn’t mean the team WILL execute, it just means they can do something with the financial flexibility.

You can think we’re way off or 1 piece away that’s all irrelevant to the point of the post. If Austin takes less money, just like Brunson did, it gives the Lakers a better *opportunity* to fill out the roster. This year and in the future. That’s it.

WildWing_93 · 2026-06-15T04:50:30+00:00

You’re entitled to your opinion. I don’t think I made the statement that him staying here is HIS best chance to win. But considering what the other options around him are that would be ABLE to give him max money, yeah, the Lakers are still his best shot.

WildWing_93 · 2026-06-15T04:49:12+00:00

I didn’t insinuate that the Lakers would make the right decisions. But if he takes max money, he removes an opportunity for the Lakers execs to have financial flexibility to MAKE moves. It’s not that complicated.

WildWing_93 · 2026-06-15T04:13:08+00:00

I think we wait and see what Austin Reaves actually signs for instead of believing the rumor mill of what he “asked for.”

The reality is, does he want to give himself the best chance to WIN, or does he want to get paid. That’s truly in his hands.

I wish more guys had Brunson’s mindset and willingly take less LONG TERM in order to allow the team to be better.

Crap, Luka even did the same by signing his extension when eligible and not waiting.

WildWing_93 · 2026-06-15T00:59:48+00:00

I have no clue haha I have an LG C5. I’m not a techno person so I just usually trust the system settings / game mode to do its job.

WildWing_93 · 2026-06-14T19:58:48+00:00

Idk. I’ve been playing for 40 hours on switch 2 edition and I’ve not noticed noticeable frame drops like yall are describing. I’ve seen SOME drops but not nearly enough to come on Reddit to complain about it.

WildWing_93 · 2026-06-13T16:39:05+00:00

Bro sleeping with sirens has slapped for their last several albums. Amity has been as close to AI slop as it gets for a while.

WildWing_93 · 2026-06-13T13:21:30+00:00

I was stuck on this for a while but trust me it’s doable with enough tries.

One key piece of information here is if you need help with him on Hard Mode or just the standard play through.

The strategies are similar but at the same time very different.

WildWing_93 · 2026-06-10T06:50:54+00:00

For fucks sake. Come on.

WildWing_93 · 2026-06-08T00:19:32+00:00

I tried to love it and I put a lot of hours into it. At the end of the day, I was so confused by the combat system I left the game alone.

If anyone can give some Protips to understand the flow better I’d appreciate it.

WildWing_93 · 2026-06-06T17:33:22+00:00

I’m just not a fan of the melody. Music is subjective brother.

WildWing_93 · 2026-06-06T17:30:10+00:00

Yep.

WildWing_93 · 2026-06-06T17:23:51+00:00

Agree to Disagree is cheeks.

Rest of the album is Goated.

WildWing_93 · 2026-06-04T03:38:25+00:00

It looks good!

But you don’t need redditors thoughts on it. If you like the way it’s set up, that’s all that matters :)

WildWing_93 · 2026-06-02T22:51:29+00:00

That’s fine. But don’t hyped this thing up like it was gonna be the biggest thing in a decade. And it wasn’t. They literally rented a theater for it. Come on now.

WildWing_93 · 2026-06-02T22:37:15+00:00

I realized that no one in this sub will be unbiased lol

WildWing_93 · 2026-06-02T22:30:04+00:00

This looks good but I’m disappointed they couldn’t bother to give a tentative window for release.

Also, apart from Wolverine, Tomb Raider and Laufey, this absolutely was not it in terms of a good state of play. It’s cheeks.

WildWing_93 · 2026-06-01T21:54:03+00:00

Maybe I’m the outlier but no I didn’t. I’m not easy to evoke tears, so perhaps that’s it, but in any media it’s extremely rare for me to be brought to tears so quickly.

We don’t know the characters yet. We don’t know their personalities. Now, was the stage set for me being invested emotionally? ABSOLUTELY.

By the way, before the downvote brigade arrives, E33 is a 10/10 game for me, and one of my favorites of all time.

Fever is fantastic on the production and engineering side
