In a bid to remain independent, Yahoo plans to reject Microsoft Corp.'s unsolicited takeover offer, according to reports on the Wall Street Journal's web site.
"They want you to believe the devs under them are super stoked to work generative AI into their processes," continued Gaider, "but I assure you what they took as excitement was really a veiled wail of despair not unlike the time that team was informed of their new 'really cool' live service mandate.".
I think anyone with some common sense knew this, im glad i don't support their games anymore, what a sh!t company.
I said this yesterday. AI isn't what we want when it comes to crafting artistry. Alas, these soulless corporate morons don't care about their work, only about cutting corners as much as possible.
Has the rapid growth of Xbox made the ship too heavy? Following the closures of Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, and Roundhouse, we explore what the future of Xbox could look like.
This ship was never meant to sail, this ship was made from the get go to sink as fast as possible. It almost feels that they want to lower the standards of quality in the industry so that they can fit in
Xbox has no soul and Phil has no confidence, and it's impossible to say either do when they killed Tango and Arkane Austin.
Everything they've said since has only made them look worse to a point that they're actually less competent than Embracer.
Whe you release something like the series S and expect it not to hurt your business model, and developers have to have parity with games. Then you know Microsoft don't care. Series s is the final nail that broke developers,
While on stage with Dina Bass at The Bloomberg Technology Summit the President of Xbox, Sarah Bond, was asked about the Xbox studio closures of Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog, and Roundhouse Studios
Of course she did. She's part of the problem and will just tow the company line.
I always wondered why xbox had multiple leaders with similar titles like Phil Spencer, Matt Booty, and Sarah Bond, like, how many heads do you actually need?
Seems to me it would be more cost efficient to cut 2 of them instead of all those studios.
yay!
:/ not really sure why Microsoft wanted Yahoo.com Is ad revenue that profitable?
hah! I knew this was going to happen... I purchased like ??? yahoo shares at the news that microsoft may buy them... stocks went up... then It make sense that it would take a long time to even be approved ... and it may never be allowed since so many strong names like Google are against it which can slow the process.... so I sold... make some $$$... if you own yahoo stocks... and you don't want to lose money sell them... they will be worth what they used to before the bid.... which is $10+ less than today. And that's where is going once people know that the are rejecting it...
sharebuilder marketed grade this stock to D-(Sell) from B+(Buy) after this...
Now Yahoo is worth nothing... they will continue to bleed marketshare to Google until they are forced out of the industry...
Last time I checked Microsoft lost half a billion dollars on MSN last year while Yahoo made quite a lot of profit. Yahoo does not need Microsoft to survive, and they SHOULD reject this deal.
I use Yahoo about as much as I use Google, so I'd be pretty ticked if Microsoft started screwing things up on the Yahoo side.
some yahoo employees are still in trouble because Yahoo is going to have to downsize to cut COST, like most do.
It's either that or re-energize their business to compete with google, or buy other small companies that can make them stronger.
Now if this deal would of gone through, it just means much more would of lost jobs with MS take-over, but hey that's just business.
Either way, Yahoo is still exacerbating their options on what to do...Tough times ahead.
MS is in this to compete, when it feels threatened, then again weren't they saying Goggle has slowed down a bit. I wonder what investors are thinking on the yahoo side..44 blil
