A bit of self-irony is always healthy, and nowadays many can certainly use a giggle. Today, following the extensive reveal of the Xbox Series X, Microsoft provided.
Search and Destroy remains one of the most popular game modes in CoD, but Black Ops 6 players want more variety.
Xbox allegedly has a lot more games to show that it couldn't fit in June's Showcase, and they are likely to be revealed at Gamescom 2024.
Jesus!
I wonder what could those even be?
We already got both 2024 and 2025 packed!
but 2027 is when the next xbox drops so the schedule demands pro versions and the start of hype train for next gen.
2000 xbox
2005 360
2013 xbox one
2020 series x/s
Very much doubt they will be bringing out a pro version. They'll move next gen slightly early to try and get the jump imo
We still haven't seen Contraband from the Just Cause devs, or the fantasy RPG with dragons from the Hitman devs. They've got a lot of 2nd party stuff in the works.
Halo and a rumored new ip. I was wondering why they were missing
The Communication Workers of America filed a claim with the National Labor Relations Board alleging that a Microsoft-affiliated studio laid off 160 QA workers due to unionization efforts.
An interesting development could potentially illuminate the reasons. Additionally, the fact that the largest union in gaming consists of 300 employees is concerning.
anti union is common sadly in huge corporations.
Sony atleast has 13% of its workforce is in a union though no doubt there the oldest ones from back in the day but hey they so far have not been fired

Also there is more than 300 well more here is a article that sums it up

If this is true, this would go against Microsoft's agreement that they would remain Union-neutral with the purchase of ABK.
This is a separate contractor that isn't owned by Microsoft though. They can't force another company to allow its workers to unionize.
But they can allow them to lay them off while alleviating the work load they still need to do in order to aid in that decision. If the contract company unionizes, that's more costly for Microsoft as well or they'd have to use something else that would mean getting that new contractor up to date on where the old teams were. Not unionizing benefits Microsoft because it keeps contractor costs down.
It's honestly a thing CWA needs to assess. But this is also news Microsoft doesn't need with FTC still looking for a reason to break up the current purchase.
A matter of concern for federal instances could be why Microsoft owns the largest unionized studio with only 300 employees.
For instance, Naughty Dog employs approximately 497 people, while Rockstar North has about 2000 employees.
Lionbridge- not owned by MS/Xbox. So, #1, silly to blame MS for this
#2 like the industry isn't hurting enough, let's bring Unions in.
Unions help ppl get fair breaks and working conditions it would help the industry just not the consumer
Quality assurance should be more valued with how buggy games are. Launch is what matters the most you lose gamers interest there sometimes you lose them forever
lol, well played MS.
Im loving the footprint of the box...its as tall as a 1X standing up vertically. In fact, a 1X with a stand attached is actually TALLER than a SX!!! Going to fit on top of my entertainment stand wonderfully.
Goes well with the grill PS3.
