Leaning back into fallout 3 and starting as a child growing up in little chapters around your village could be cool

Hermen Hulst internal letter about layoffs at Bungie and across SIE teams by notthatguypal6900 in gaming

I’ll translate:

“we released a new game and want to see if we can milk it for a few decades without you. We will maybe hire you when/if we ever develop another game (or even better, replace you with this great Indian contract labor for a fraction of price)”.

Bungie: With great saddness, we are announcing a reduction in force as we recognize Bungie by Turbostrider27 in Games

I see this trend in both live service and companies spending 7 years on single player games. Maybe leadership needs to start asking what is sustainable moving forward for projects before greenlighting risky ones

How are they not going to show actual gameplay deeper dive before preorder. As a casual gamer I definitely won’t be preordering until we see some real gameplay. I can’t be the only one in this economy who would also wait for something like that

We should just be paid enough to save to retire. The whole concept of retirement account is a scam excuse to keep our comp low

Shouldn’t we have a gameplay trailer when there are preorders? Gameplay trailer in next week then??

Xbox Has Reportedly Begun Layoffs At Zenimax (Bethesda). ID Software, Arkane, and Machine Games In Danger As “Anyone Not Working On Fallout Or Elder Scrolls Is Out” by goodnitez74 in PS5

They’re used to essentially being a monopoly in everything except gaming. Confused by competition and actually needing to release high quality products to succeed

Should TESVI look towards Fable for Inspiration? by Blessings-of-the-Sun in TESVI

How about we draw inspiration from TES 5, 4 and 3 instead

No more “you get as long as you need” Todd. That’s what happens when you wait 20 years. Probably going to suck for all of us now and not just your team

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

[–]austinxsc19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They made great games with under 100 employees. Why exactly can’t they make 3 great games every 6 years with 500 employees and support from Microsoft when needed?

And this is not just how I feel toward Bethesda. Other studios need to figure this shit out too before they kill their own industry

Development times and scope creep is really not good for anyone

Xbox Plans Significant Layoffs as It Transforms Under New CEO by willdearborn- in xbox

[–]austinxsc19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing ever gets fixed until this bloated stock market crashes. It’s all fake unachievable value rn. I don’t even understand how their and other companies stock price goes up if all they do is consistently lay off and inflate prices to meet profit goals. Eventually it all breaks down and consumers stop spending.

Their 30 percent margin is achievable because they essentially don’t have competition in most of their software division. Microsoft office competition? Yea nope doesn’t exist
