Xbox employees are bracing for what follows more layoffs.
They really seem to believe every gamer cares about Call of Duty games, while so many gamers flocked to a service like Gamepass because they cared about all kinds of different fun genres to try out and enjoy.
Call of Duty holds absolutely zero value to me and many others.
These decisions about the gaming industry these past few years have been made by suits who just look at spreadsheets and buzzwords, and have absolutely no clue about what kind of industry they're in, and what ('classic') gamers want (from a console) ... which is a wide variety of games across different genres.
These suits just want everyone to stick to 2-3 genres they can sell to you as a service or subscription so they can keep monetizing the exact same thing over a longer period of time, and that simply is just never going to work, at all.
The industry is truly in a depressing era right now. Just look at a game like Forza Motorsport (full-scale SP career mode with plenty of tracks and cars) to see what was and what is now left of it (Always Online, barebones minimum of tracks, focus on online MP, etc) a hollow glossy shell of former greatness, because instead of releasing a game, they want to sell you a service and add stuff over the years to come ...)
Unless these studio-execs wise up about what a game console is, and what it should offer to most of us gamers, our hopes is now on indie-devs, as well as devs from emerging markets to pick up on these opportunities.
Yikes this is just keep getting worse ppl who Said Activision being bought under Microsoft was good for gaming where that at huh?
Capcom has announced that Resident Evil 4 remake sales are now at over 7 million units, Street Fighter 6 is at 3.3 million and more.
are they nuts or nuts?
So...should I start my roflcopter now, or after this is gotten rid of.
Know wha? I'ma start it now.
Roflcopter. Where are these scores even from?
Edit-
@Darkequitis - If you've got it from Edge magazine that came in the mail this morning, it'll eventually be scanned in sometime today.
Still, I'm leaving my roflcopter flying. This is pure hilarity.
more scans later
they have got to be having a laugh COD5 and R2 6/10 and mirrors edge 5/10
did they not actually PLAY the games....
Confirmed: Animal Crossing City Folk is better than R2, Mirror's edge and CoD5.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edge is a joke.
