VG247: In an interview with the Major, Infinity Ward's Rob "FourZeroTwo" Bowling has said that there are currently 13 million unique Xbox Live users that have sampled Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's multiplayer modes.
Xbox's handling of the marketing for Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is casting a huge doubt over the future of its developer, Ninja Theory.
They should be worried. They we told they were free to be creative to dev. a walking sim, and now Phil and the Lady are walking that back.
The lack of worldwide availability of Arrowhead Studios' Helldivers 2 on Steam is due to restrictions from PlayStation, not Valve.
To be clear though, Steam does not restrict use of their platform in any country. So, to say that Sony delisted games in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and other similar regions is disingenuous. The taliban doesn't allow video games in Afghanistan.
There are many restrictions in many countries. Painting this as a false dichotomy of Sony or Valve ignores all other layers of what is going on.
Just be honest in your journalism about what countries are left out. Those countries should a) have internet access b) allow the game.
Sony would be stupid to let valve run the show. They would be bad at business if they did that.
Companies, particularly public companies like Microsoft, need to grow.
i mean its pretty simple, they spent close to 30 billion in acquiring activision, they thought they'd make it bk no problem, and that didnt happen.
its just shit that because of MS's miscalculation alot of people lost their jobs.
They are going to use AI for a large portion of the game development process. Upper management need bonuses and the shareholders need more money. So, people will lose their jobs.
They shouldn't have bought any studios. Some is okay...but they went on a shopping spree...stupid

Erm ACti Blizz reckon that CoD: MW1 sold 13 mill worldwide on all platforms so 13 mill Xbox Live users sounds a little generous.
so many stat boosters...
13MM gamers is great, especially a year and a half after the game was released. Wish there was more DLC though..
How can there be 13kk XBOX LIVE users when Call of Duty 4 sold 13m on all platforms..
Which the total amount sold on XBOX 360 goes up to 7m ? So how could he say that XBL has 13m people playing COD4.
