Xbox Game Studios Stupidity Hate Thread Game Pass Edition

[whatever I feel like]

Actually more lenient than I thought, at least so far. I was expecting full shutters and cancellations but I guess the games in production will get funding to push them out the door. Just wondering who the hell the buyers are.

The so-called marketing team won't be missed but they're really fucking over the Bethesda half of their assets, again. Oddly we haven't heard anything out of Activision. Maybe they've already killed everyone in Activision proper who isn't on CoD?

@Polyboros2 Outer Worlds 2 was absolutely a bomb. It only sold like 800k copies and Obsidian announced they were putting the franchise on hold indefinitely.

Boy, up to 14 layers of management in the worst cases? No wonder nothing gets done.

That's not that abnormal within Microsoft.

I didn't even know they made a Outer Worlds 2, I'm baffled Obsidian is still in business

Yeah, it was worse than my assumptions(mainly that they spent way more on it), and I don't even think their creative Game Pass financials could soften it. Don't they also have an issue of selling a Season Pass for content they haven't even announced yet? I wonder if they are going to even shit something out or just refund it.

I'm more curious what Gonzalez was rehired for if not Fallout, and why they seemed to not be hit as bad as Studios that have a better reputation.

why the fuck would bethesda let obsidian do anything with fallout agains instead of doing it themselves

Good riddance, the first one was as exciting as a PBS special. The fact it got a sequel baffled me to no end.

It's only Monday and my week is already ruined.

Take heart, friend, this just prolongs the death march.

You don't remember when they announced it was 80 dollars and then had to walk it back? I do.

 

[a-Lager]

Mark my word theyre giving the boot to the white wokescolds and replacing them with 5 jeets each

 

[Gorilla Man]

Activision, Bethesda/ZeniMax, Blizzard, King, Mojang, and XBOX Game Studios will face reductions and restructuring
Damn
If remove all of the retards from the WoW team and if Elder Scrolls 6 doesn't suck, I vow never to talk shit about jeets ever again

Another thing they did was give anyone who pre ordered the $100 edition an in game perk called "consumer" that was a permanent debuff to your character.

The last thing Microsoft ever does is get rid of retards, as their fanbase continually shows us.

Kinda disappointed Obsidian didn't get shoaed.

everyone is shitting on him in the replies and he is coping hard LMAO

It's also worth noting that Xbox laid of 1,600 but also signposted they're doing another 1,600 through FY 2027 - so there's more to come but might be on pause for specific releases.

For example, the Coalition may be just waiting for E-Day to release before more layoffs, 343 might be waiting for their game, etc.

It's only halfway there so far.

They also can't shitcan Arkane without a ton of red tape due to France's commie labour laws, so those jobs will be added to the tally at a later date.

yeah good job microsoft on keeping obsidian around despite not doing a really popular game since new vegas

 

[DeadwastePrime]

Deathloop: Journos called it the best game of the year... I can't tell you one person I know in real life who played, let alone enjoyed it.

i liked it

Let? No. Forced to? Sure. Bethesda doesn't make games fast enough to persuade MS to leave it to them to make another Fallout in a year or two. If it's left to that worthless retard Emil there won't be another Fallout until 2035 at the earliest.
