The invisible hand of the free market is fisting Obsidian for making shit games

Basically xbox was burning nearly 2/3s of the money it would put into indie studios.

all thats nice and pretty but some studios legit should stop existing

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.

343 was gutted down to being an IP management studio farming out development in 2024, weren’t they? Happened with the rename to Halo Studios, as I recall.

Obsidian is so full of degenerates that they’re into that sort of thing.

They should all stop existing.

Which studio under MicroSoft's umbrella is worth keeping alive? id?

And only after a truly epic, 10+ marathon to kill one of the most popular gaming IPs of all time.

That they were allowed to kill Halo thrice over while MicroSoft did nothing just goes to show what a clown show the whole jeet infested company is.

I pray to God MicroSoft replaces everyone they've laid off with more jeets, it would be fucking hilarious to watch the cucked liberal devs fume, but unable to say anything because raycism.

bethesda is legit the only worthwhile studio microsoft has and activision

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.

It's a Fallout trait and if it wasn't attached to smug fartsniffing it would be a funny one. 10% less for selling, 15% less cost when buying.

It would be the kind of trait you could optionally get from a commune of hippies that misunderstand communism in Fallout but instead, they felt it necessary to make it a wokescold. I bet they were forced by their management leads to make it a net positive of 5% purchase power, and not a flat detriment.

Please John. Please make Fallout: Chicago and make it good. PLEASE.

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

If only their asses waited for Rockstar to announce GTA 6's pricing, then they could've gotten away with it. SAD!

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