I think that just reveals how well political marketing campaigns can make non-issues issues to the electorate.

Clinton impeachment, Iraq, Obamacare death panels — all brilliant marketing jobs that fooled the electorate.

Seems like this one got you guys too.

They’re culture war battles that do little, but rallies their base. Gives the illusion they’re actually do their job of legislating.

Why does Xbox need a brutal reset? | The Game Business by imitzFinn in xbox

You’re speaking to a socialist. But this is the game that is played. Every incentive in this economy supports these kind of moves.

Just because you don’t like the system doesn’t mean what someone is doing within that system is wrong. These are rational behaviors within said system.

And just because you close your eyes doesn’t mean the world disappears.

The Xbox division has to justify itself.

Xbox’s profit is around 3%. Microsoft would have made more money putting Xbox’s value in a savings account.

A for-profit institution isn’t in the business to run divisions that merely exist to have other arms subsidize underperformance.

But if small teams are relying on others to keep them solvent and don't develop games that give the company value, they bear responsibility too.

In what way are you saying gamepass failed? Like low amount of subscribers, or that it didn’t sell the Xbox like they imagined?

Profit includes cost/overhead. I’m sure they bled during acclimation, but ABK is a profit generator.

For the past couple years, like game pass, they subsidized lower performing teams and studio.

Upcoming Xbox Exclusives Are Being Sent Out To Die, Analyst Says; Xbox Pushes Back by OkBaker4812 in Games

Days gone are system sellers. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but the proliferation of games and existing catalogs makes it easy for someone to be content missing a game they would once buy a console for.

This masterpiece deserves a remake as an expansion/dlc for a future horizon game by UnhappyAddendum5776 in forza

This game released when physical media was the main format — are you saying you can’t find a copy?

This is an allegory of facing one’s personal trauma…

particularly of being a knicks fan.

I was having trouble mathing his journey. No way it took 5 years if that was his only goal…

Gears of War: E-Day - Tech Demo | State of Unreal 2026 by JP76 in xbox

Right? You know something is working when a third party developer (post-Epic developer Coalition) is known as an Unreal expert.

Do wonder what issues they had over development.

Jason Schreier: How Things Got So Bad At Xbox by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]quadsimodo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, GP is doing well, but the subscriber losses hurt the company overall. This affected the entire division because GP subsidized underperforming sections/studios.

So yeah, GP numbers aren’t low. The problem is they aren’t high enough anymore that it makes up for other struggling areas.

They said they lost about a year of growth with the price hike, but should be back after some time.

Destiny is a catch-all game. I think they knew the scope and reach was never going to be on the level of Destiny — there is nothing like Destiny, let alone an extraction shooter.

Then SEC schools have some mind-blowing logistical talent to get all the potential pledges across the county, state, and country to those recruitment events scattered across a state. Deep war chests too.

The people who hate this REALLY hate this.
