To announce all of their studio closings
But Xbox fans told us MS buying these studios was going to be more games for everyone
They never seriously tried to be a game making company.
They paid for exclusives most of their existence.
They didn’t grow their internal studios over the years and to grow their culture for creativity.
They only mass bought all these studios in the last couple years and had trouble dealing with the small amount of studios they have before those acquisitions.
Then they chose a stupid business model,
Netf...
A lot of us saw this coming. MS has a poor track record of making games. How were they going to handle all of these studios? They weren’t is the answer. A lot more closures coming over the years. They want to control the IP of games are made or they aren’t.
Not like anyone else at all. Unless he gets fired and his money taken away down to employees levels he isn’t hurting anywhere close to anyone else involved in this situation
Wrong section
If it was any other company than MS they could have potentially increased revenue. But the Gamepass model decreases revenue automatically
That time was before Gamepass was a thing. Now the damage is done to the gaming industry
Remake 4 and give it a lot of love. Do not mess with the story
Took until now?
Makes sense to me. They still have the IP the studios mean nothing to MS
Nothing will sell well when they have trained their fanbase to rely on GamePass. (There could be a unicorn every decade or something like that) The price has to go up a lot or more than likely they close a lot of studios to get upkeep way down and have few studios handle all of the IP and still raise gamepass price just not as much as necessary to keep those doors open for all of the devs that created the IPs MS now owns.
They don’t care about the studio. They own the IPs. They will fire more devs and close more studios and have a few studios handle all of the IP. They don’t care who made the games only that they own them.
There is no other version on NES or SNES. Just saying. Also if you bought it physically you don’t have to download the patch if it really matters that much.
Divorced Dads is the best card game ever made
We are getting good games at PS. I’ll take these lesser issues over what’s going on at MS.
Many of us saw this coming. Gamepass is not sustainable with 50 studios or whatever they have. They will close more studios, have a few a studios handling all of the IP and focus most on MT’s , battle pass type of games because they aren’t selling physical copies. On top of that gamepass price has to go up by a good amount to even maintain that. Quality will go down with different studios handling closed devs IP. This was foreseeable a mile away but Xbox gamers begged for it just to have what...
downloading doesn’t do nearly as much buying the game. Plenty of people downloaded Hi Fi Rush I’m sure but it didn’t help at all apparently. I buy just about ever game I play even though I have PS plus. I want my money going directly to the devs I like. If you are a Gamepass only gamer you are letting MS choose what games they want to give you and what developers they want to support.
Plenty of jobs available in almost any industry. Corporations are charging more for items than they need to for record profits and jobs should pay more instead of paying CEO’s hundreds of millions but the job market is actually suffering from lack of workers in general.
Clearly steam has more players to start so it would make sense PC has more players in the long run but that being said a shitload of PS5 players bought and play the game. Who cares if it is 55/45 60/40 or whatever it is ? It sold very well on both.
