"Activision Blizzard CEO Robert Kotick is a determined man. Focused on little but the bottom line, Kotick spoke openly to investors and analysts at the Deutsche Bank Securities Technology Conference in San Francisco about Activision Blizzard's status within the gaming community. Kotick made some fairly large claims during his 45 minute presentation, surrounding the future of game development and Activision Blizzard's role therein, but most of these claims seemed more focused on making or saving money rather than on the enjoyment of consumers."
"They want you to believe the devs under them are super stoked to work generative AI into their processes," continued Gaider, "but I assure you what they took as excitement was really a veiled wail of despair not unlike the time that team was informed of their new 'really cool' live service mandate.".
I think anyone with some common sense knew this, im glad i don't support their games anymore, what a sh!t company.
I said this yesterday. AI isn't what we want when it comes to crafting artistry. Alas, these soulless corporate morons don't care about their work, only about cutting corners as much as possible.
Has the rapid growth of Xbox made the ship too heavy? Following the closures of Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, and Roundhouse, we explore what the future of Xbox could look like.
This ship was never meant to sail, this ship was made from the get go to sink as fast as possible. It almost feels that they want to lower the standards of quality in the industry so that they can fit in
Xbox has no soul and Phil has no confidence, and it's impossible to say either do when they killed Tango and Arkane Austin.
Everything they've said since has only made them look worse to a point that they're actually less competent than Embracer.
Whe you release something like the series S and expect it not to hurt your business model, and developers have to have parity with games. Then you know Microsoft don't care. Series s is the final nail that broke developers,
While on stage with Dina Bass at The Bloomberg Technology Summit the President of Xbox, Sarah Bond, was asked about the Xbox studio closures of Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog, and Roundhouse Studios
Of course she did. She's part of the problem and will just tow the company line.
I always wondered why xbox had multiple leaders with similar titles like Phil Spencer, Matt Booty, and Sarah Bond, like, how many heads do you actually need?
Seems to me it would be more cost efficient to cut 2 of them instead of all those studios.
This guy a greedy duoch
but i guess thats business
Kotick should realize that looking after gamers and consumers is the BEST way to look after his shareholders. Gamers ain't buying means stockholders aren't getting paid.
stupid mother...
How is he a CEO of anything if he can't think???
wow.
Atleast we are second, surprised we are that high, he treats us like a clingy woman, no matter he does we come back.
I will never buy GH, WoW, WarCraft, Starcraft or Diablo 3, because of this guy I got too close to buy WoW and I went I refuse to put faith in a company that treats me this way. I'm buying COD 6 second hand unless they implement some anit second hand system in which case I'll pirate.
