Proceeding the departure of Jeff Kaplan, we discuss the future of Blizzard
The Outerhaven interviews Francisco González of Grundislav Games about his passion for Point and Click games.
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
By the looks of it, PlayStation 5 exclusivity does not hurt the sales of Stellar Blade in Japan as the game has passed 90,000 sold physical copies.
Stellar Blade really deserves way more praise than it got, devs have been adding more and more content, for free, since release and the game already was great to begin with!
Stellar blade is performing very impressively there, DD2 didn't do well because word of mouth destroyed it's reputation and not about the Microtransactions or performance, bad word of mouth about how the game lacks so many things that were in the first one
Exclusives matter. No matter what bumbling phil and bond try to say, exclusives is why you buy a console.
They dropped the ball with dogma. SB is a solid game, it just had to weather the social storm.
It's funny.
Companies like EA buy up talent, milk them for all their worth, then close down their studios when they don't meet the ridiculous standards they impose on them.
Activision does the same thing, but then relegates their studios to being little more than CoD support. Not that they aren't known go let go of hundreds of people, even during times of amazing profit returns.
Modern day AAA gaming, people. There's a reason so much talent leaves to produce smaller indie projects.
People move on. When I leave the company I work for later this year I wonder if they'll also be thinking it's the end for them?
Of course they won't, they'll replace me. Loss of talent is hard but I'm sure blizzard will be fine.
The old blizzard who made starcraft, warcraft, diablo all departed and made a new studio already anyway
Not sure this matters at this point. Bliz is probably "deving" for Candy Crush.
Just not going to support them anymore. Not after that tournament where they penalized the winner for supporting Hong Kong.
