Tigeroovy, do games w Microsoft Plans Major Job Cuts at Xbox Gaming Division

That’ll get them their killer game!

Honestly maybe the last Xbox will be the last one I buy. Even if they put out another one what’s even the point anymore?

pinball_wizard,

Honestly maybe the last Xbox will be the last one I buy.

Yes. I also stopped buying XBoxes with the Series…G. (I’m lying. I have no idea what my Xboxes are called. Is the 360 still new? Was there a G? It felt like we were doing letters for awhile.)

Even if they put out another one what’s even the point anymore?

I agree. But I gave up when I had to do research to figure out which one was the new one.

Tigeroovy,

Tbh I never really had trouble with which was which, despite their ridiculous naming conventions. And like the console is decent and they do a lot of things right. But also unless I’m just paying them a monthly fee for gamepass to get access to games that are also on other consoles then there’s no real particular benefit to the console aside from what backwards compatibility it offers. Which is okay but not nearly full BC coverage. And at this point with all the studios they’ve gutted, what more would a new console even bring to the table? An $800 price tag maybe.

Detecting multiple executive class lifeforms in the game. Are you certain whatever you’re paying is worth it?

Chunk of the founders ousted and a dev team resentful about getting screwed. Think we got ourselves another Concord on our hands.

towerful,

One of the best robot chicken scenes.
I was in tears the first time I saw it

These absolute dipshit MBAs could’ve made so much goddamn money if they just let the original team make the game they want to make.

mememuseum,

Any business executive who graduated after 1993 can’t run a business sustainably…all they know is line go up, microtransactions, layoffs, give themself bonus, buzzwords & lie.

    Can’t wait for the release of Underwatica.

    According to the article the old leadership wanted to share the bonus with the whole development team of around 100 people. I don’t think the motivation of the team will be great now that the publisher pushed the bonus in unreachable distance. Fucking assholes can’t even stand by their own promises.

    vane,

    $2.5 million per person. They can’t afford that, they need their slaves. I hope whole dev team publishes game source code on torrent and resigns.

    Odds that Ted Gill, Charlie Cleveland, and Max McGuire, previous leadership at Krafton saw that well earned bonus and just thought, “yoink”?

    There’s a petition going around now to try to “Save Subnautica”.

    It’s at least worth a shot: www.change.org/p/save-subnautica

    Really quite booba of them

    Seeing how publisher buying company and fucked their employees, now i’m super glad Hoopo sell only the IP to Gearbox, and not the whole company. Unknown Worlds might as well become a f2p company now, and my interest had plunged below zero.

    Similar shit happened when they were PUBG Corporation. Fuck these lying assholes. Player Unknown was a smart, capable dude, and they exiled him to a remote office because he got pissed at the CEO for over-monetizing things in a way that cost them players.

    When they released the battle pass while the game was retail, all of the non-Korean employees nearly revolted. It wasn’t smart, and it was a money grab on the players. When the team lead of market research told the product manager that the feature was a bad idea and would lose them all their Western players, the product manager got him demoted and moved to another team.

    When the numbers didn’t look good, the data analysts were freaking out because they couldn’t deliver bad news up the chain of command, even if it was accurate.

    When they acquired Mad Glory, they promised that the dev team would still be contracted to other game companies to build APIs and tools for them, keeping the game industry tooling ecosystem healthy (think op.gg). When PUBG Corporation acquired them, the company canceled their contract with Bethesda for the API they were in the middle of building and forbade them from working with other companies.

    Fuck Bluehole. Fuck PUBG Corporation. Fuck Krafton. Fuck game studios in Korea. Don’t play Korean games. Kpop and cosmetics and whatever are chill. Don’t play Korean games. Korean game companies are fucking cancer.

    Don’t buy Subnautica 2. The Subnautica franchise died when Krafton became the publisher.
