Steve Ballmer announced that he’ll be stepping down as the CEO of Microsoft within the next year. The Surface RT was a costly flop. The company is in a transitional phase, and this has led some people to speculate that, hey, maybe Microsoft will have a renewed interest in PC gaming!
Dear God, no
The Xbox brand has done a lot of good over the years, but their various blunders are pretty wild to look back on in their magnitude.
Ironically number 9 can save them at this point (releasing games on multiple platforms)
Phil Spencer is the worst that has happened to Xbox.
They built a respectable brand up to Xbox one. Then this guy took over and things became a joke
Really good video.
I remember the days with RRoD was big news on here, N4G.
Microsoft had it turbulence number of years.
Looking at the success of Sea of Thieves despite being 6 years old, time to release Halo, Forza horizon 4 & 5 on PS5. It'll help their revenue
I found this video painful to watch. Can someone list them out?
Top 10 for me from are:
1. 2013 reveal presentation
2. Bundling Kinect 2 with Xbox One
3. RRoD or why rushing to market with hardware is always a bad idea.
4. Buying studios only to close them.
5. Ads on the Home Screen
6. Letting Halo die.
7. Letting Geard of War die.
8. Every console name
9. Charging for Xbox Live on Xbox 360 when Sony let PS3 players play online for free.
10. Cancelling release of OG Xbox games after the Xbox 360 launched.
Microsoft recently revealed its plans to incorporate Copilot directly into video games, with Minecraft being the first showcased example.
F*** AI
"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...
Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.
It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.
Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.
Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
YEAH RIGHT THEY SHOULD GO TO PC AND PUT DA FIRSHT PARTY TITLES ON DA PC SO DEY CAN MAKE DA MONEEEZ
PUT TITANFAWL AND DA FORZA AND DA SUNLIGHT UNDERDRIVE ON DERE SO WE DONT HAVE TO BUY DA SHITBOX ONE LOLOLOLOL
/sarcasm
Pc gaming is Microsoft (Windows). No other OS has the amount of developer support
All I want from Microsoft is to make a new Flight Simulator, and not like that rubbish attempt that was MS Flight.
They're dismantling GFWL, which is a great thing. They'll probably try to hide some games in the Windows 8 store, though. I had no idea BlazBlue was even on PC until last week. Apparently it was hidden exclusively in the GFWL market.
Arent that what they've been doing all these years? Remember a few years back when Microsoft had all those amazing titles like Age of Empire, Rise of Nations, Age of Mythology, Freelancer, Zootycoon? They basically laid off all of their talent and continues spew out piece of shit like Halo or Gears games. I think it's pretty clear they DO stay away from PC as far as possible.
