"Yesterday various Xbox LIVE members were treated to a surprise when they noticed that they had received a donation of Microsoft Points randomly in their Xbox LIVE account. The amount of points received has apparently varied across the impacted members of Microsoft’s successful online gaming network, but if you have noticed any form of random increase in points for your account, it’s time to act NOW!

Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.
"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins.

Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.
i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.
but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.

Forza and Starfield next?
In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year
“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄
I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige
/S it's beyond a joke right now
Hey, that's a nice surprise!
That's always a nice surprise but they shouldn't take it away!!! Its their mistake and this could lead to other problems like people saying Microsoft took their money... I'm just saying
I smell a hacker ! LOL .......
You never though
People would need to prove that with bank statements and a receipt if damage was done. Any points added to an xbox-live account or redeemed generates a email receipt. Since in this case no emails were sent then no bank accounts were involved. This was all in house and probably a glitch of Microsoft's xbox-live rewards system which just so happened to send points out to everyone who is a member when this all started. Rewards are given out every month.
I already spent them as soon as i logged in and seen them there. And on that day, not a single fuck was given.
