To celebrate the Xbox 360's 20th anniversary, Eurogamer sits down with former Xbox boss Peter Moore to reflect on the console's creation and puglistic launch.
Former CEO describes lawsuit filed by Swedish pension fund as a "collateral attack" on Activision Blizzard.
Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.
Larry writes: "As many of you have been with me during my career in gaming, I'd like to share personal news. Like many in the gaming space recently, I've been laid off from @Unity"
That’s some major layoffs best of luck to him and the rest that got laid off. It always hurt specially more before or during holidays.
Met Larry a couple times. Sucks to hear he got laid off. Real standup guy who just loves gaming and the industry.
Dude finally got laid at 58 years old. Bit of a weird flex but im still happy for the guy!🥂
"We see DRM as something which can make the life of a legal customer more difficult," says Michał Kiciński, "so there is no reason to keep it alive."
Part 2 tomorrow. Good read.
One could make a case that Xbox Live was the quarterback. Getting the ball into the hands of millions of players. Connecting their community. Quite the time. Plus we had the push to be this all in one entertainment unit. Everyone had to evolve, in a hurry.
I was a ps3 fanboy back then but boy do I miss the 360 and the competition, the games, the fun that xbox gave.
I unfortunately could only focus on one console because I was but a child with no money back then lol. What a generation that was.
It’s too bad they didn’t focus on making games instead of paying for IP to not be on PS. I have always bought every console and didn’t care about competition between them until MS showed they were bad for gaming and consoles. I bought the original Xbox and 360. If MS would have taken a different approach I’d still be playing on Xbox.
I remember xbox was actively inciting the console war. Every xbox magazine was chuck full of console war propaganda. They didn’t do themselves a lot of good by not building games internally. Halfway through that gen 360 stopped having exclusives because with PlayStation install base rising it became too expensive for MS to keep buying game exclusivity.
Microsoft definitely started it tho.
i remember it well; all the attacks in interviews, on twitter etc.
and then the infamous e3 conference came and they introduced the kinect amd wkth all the nonsense they thought people wanted and were immediately humbled by fans.
