Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.
Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately
...
Goes right back to them as partners.
Okaaaaaay...
Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.
The Nerd Stash: "Developed by Treyarch Studios, Call of Duty: Black Ops games are some of the best in the series in terms of gameplay, story, and -- of course -- Zombies."
It seems Black Ops 6 will be another "DLC" download added to the Call of Duty HQ app for all platforms when it launches later this year.
this news makes the choice easy, Concord it is, - totally different, but happy for a change, not played any other shooter for about 5-6 years now
Yeah, they are adding more extensions to make the entire streamlined experience more convoluted.
Series S/X is losing to Xbox One this year not just 360. That’s really bad news.
Out of a plain and simple business perspective, why would you build the most powerful console yet and then don't care about units being sold?
I can imagine heads at Microsoft are not enjoying these numbers, at all.
Then again: software sells hardware, always has.
Microsoft had prepared their hardware well. They reportedly we're even confident about it compared to PS5's specs. But they again fell short on their software. Their units numbers would be different otherwise.
Who knows what's still to come, I certainly don't. But after three years into this gen, Gamepass alone doesn't push any additional units to people.
I can't imagine how high the exact amount of billions of dollars must be that Microsoft has already put into their Xbox Gaming Division, only to hold up against Playstation. Bonkers.
cant even beat itself
