Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.
I guess.
How come they didnt either let them go or sell Tango and others to another publisher? Not saying Ubisoft, EA would be any better. (Capcome would of treated them right )
At least it wouldn't be MS of all ppl destroying them.
MS really should let go Tango go like they did TFB here.
one was under Bethesda (Tango) the other under Activision (TFB). Clearly each one handled the separations of their subordinates differently.
"How come they didnt either let them go or sell Tango and others to another publisher? Not saying Ubisoft, EA would be any better. (Capcome would of treated them right )"
Perhaps because Zenimax and ABK handles such matters differently based on their own internal policies as "independent" publishers.
Whoever, chances are it´s simply because MS didn´t wanted Tango or Austin to be acquired by competitors and develop new bangers for them, giving MS a bad rep in a possible future. Which could also be the reason why they ensured an exclusive partnership with TFB and its new game, before anyone else.
Sad and disgusting. But it is what it is.
Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately
...
Goes right back to them as partners.
Okaaaaaay...
Id venture a guess that TFB working directly with MS was a better outcome than working through Activision to get to MS.
From the article...
"Toys for Bob spun out as an indie back in February after Microsoft instituted sweeping layoffs that impacted 86 employees, which was more than half of the staff"
I doubt those 86 employees enjoyed the Microsoft experience over Activisions.
MS shuts down studios because of lack of resources and then helps these guys by giving em resources. Also MS is what forced them to buy their freedom in the first place? What kind of logic 😂
Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.
The Nerd Stash: "Developed by Treyarch Studios, Call of Duty: Black Ops games are some of the best in the series in terms of gameplay, story, and -- of course -- Zombies."
Just looked at it and the so called deals to me are piss poor.
I really think Walmart and Best Buy PS3 and 360 deals are better.
LAME GS fails.
- Xbox 360 Elite Holiday Bundle - $299 (plus Bakugan or COD: Modern Warfare Free) Doorbuster
- PS3 120GB Holiday Bundle w/ God of War I & II, LittleBigPlanet - $299 Doorbuster
So you can either get a defective console with Bakugan OR MW2, or you can get a superior console with God of War 1, God of War 2, AND LittleBigPlanet for the same price as the faulty console bundle. With the lack of exclusives on the 360 (well, lack of games in general) there is no reason to get a 360 unless you're replacing a broken one (and even that is a stupid idea).
Ya, is there a line I need to stand in to buy GH preowned? LAME.
Although, the 299 holiday bundle with GoW 1 and 2 and LBP is an ok deal if you are looking to come to the dark side and have a kid...and it's a NEW Slim.
I wish i lived in america only for this one day and then go to my free healthcare :)
