Interesting that Konami is releasing nothing of note and still enjoying high profits. I guess this is the allure to companies.

Another L for Xbox, when are they going to have good news?

MrDead2h ago

I would read the article but the giant pop-ups from the top and bottom of the screen made me close it.

Without reading $23.4 million isn't a deterrent for a company that size.

Boss: Let's fire a few people to recoup on that loss.
Slave: Cortana has decided to get rid of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks.

Game pass hasn't even hit the enshittification stage.
Xbox has proven they have no direction, they aren't looking after the developers they've acquired.

Competition is good & very much needed but Xbox has been a joke since Don Mattrick left, the only thing I've heard from Xbox since 2014 is words, empty words.

I can tell you now, there will be A SEPARATE cod tier of gamepass

they will separate the two tiers, added onto of their existing 3 tiers, so now more tiers.... so Gamepass:ultamite:cod

EITHER THS:

or they keep same price, get everyone playing cod, then raise price 2-3 months after, sneaky little ****'s

Stopped reading after this.
"Xbox says Game Pass is profitable and I’m sure it probably is."

Just pure delusion.

You live in an alternate fanboy reality if you think game pass is profitable while in reality Microsoft is firing people, closing down studios, raising prices and making their games third party.

Some people just want to be lied too I guess...

They have investors and a board they are required to report to. They can lie about a lot of things and do, but profits ain’t one of them, especially in court lol

Xeofate19h ago

You don't understand, when we see the investor reports on this site they are reporting revenue not profit.

Microsoft has lost multiple legal cases for misleading investors.

It's well know that they manipulate and hide costs and losses in other reports in order to be able to present positive reports to their investors and the public on products they are trying to drive..

Why do you think they are closing down studios making major cuts to staff increasing prices and lowers rewards? It might actually be worse if game pass was profitable and they were doing this.

MrDead4h ago

No Xbox needs to be sold to a company that wants to grow gaming instead of what we have, a company that wants to own gaming... and get you to rent games.

All these articles speculating and guessing when what you need to do is look at MS and how they conduct business, they buyup, take the IP's, tech, etc they want, consolidate then shut down.

Smaller studios are chaff to MS, they have control of some of gaming's biggest IP's to use as leverage and are moving on.

How does a non-profitable, self-cannabilizing and non-growing sub service need a reset? It needs a bullet to the head.
