This looks like a great way to play.

"The sudden closure of several video-game studios at Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox division was the result of a widespread cost-cutting initiative that still isn’t finished.
This week, Xbox began offering voluntary severance agreements to producers, quality assurance testers and other staff at ZeniMax, which it purchased in 2020 for $7.5 billion, according to people familiar with the company’s plans. Others across the Xbox organization have been told that more cuts are on the way.
Speaking about the closures more broadly, Booty said that the company’s studios had been spread too thin — like “peanut butter on bread” — and that leaders across the division had felt understaffed. They decided to close these studios to free up resources elsewhere, he said.
Game Pass has not seen the massive growth that Xbox boss Phil Spencer may have been hoping for."

So what you're saying is...you bought all these studios and you guys can't run them.
Jesus.
Reports are suggesting that Game Pass will be getting a price hike soon and that Call of Duty may not be added to the day one offering. I honestly have a hard time believing this but it does beg the question why exactly did GP fail? I think the answer is that it just didn't get the growth that it anticipated. Jim was right but I wish he wasn't because at the end of the day, its gamers, devs and other front-line workers who have to absorb the blow for Spencer and team's miscalculations.
For all the armchair executives who were calling for Sony to release its big-budget AAA games on PS+, the same exact thing would have happened at PlayStation. Game Pass has killed Xbox. Congrats.
A look back at 4A Games' admirably consistent post-apocalyptic shooter franchise.
nice good to hear
ps3 might have the lowest attatch rate but if there is one game every ps3 owner shouldnt do without its mgs4. It won't be easy for mgs4 to sell a million day one but if anygame can its mgs. If mgs4 can't do it then seriously speaking no game on ps3 can. Solid advertising will get it done. In the first week they can definetly sell about 2-3 million. mgs4 does well in pretty much every region so it should make it easier.
come on guys we were doing really well for a while there
but lets try to keep amazon out of N4G from now on k?
JiggyJay Your an IDIOT!
