How does a non-profitable, self-cannabilizing and non-growing sub service need a reset? It needs a bullet to the head.
Revenue doesnt even equal to profit. A child could point out that GamePass is not sustainable.
Like a deer caught in the headlights.....
Ah Forbes. One of the prominent MS mouthpieces....
And? IPs that can now be whored out, quality be damned....
But somebody should take accountability for XBOX having found its way to its current messed up state. If this was any other company it would be Phil's ass.
Satya will make sure that doesnt happen. As you rightly put it; why kill the cash cow?
But then again, it is MS after all.....
They too conditioned not to buy games. GamePass hobbled XBOX and their acquisitions killed it. Ironic what was being touted as its saviours are its executioners.
In 2000 when I read in an Xpert Gamer magazine they wanted to launch a console I rolled my eyes. I'm still rolling my eyes at their incompetent antics.
I would watch just to see those buggers squirm and Ms. Bond to nod maniacally with that joker-like smile.
Vindicates Jim Ryan. Don't know who didnt see this coming except those frothing pro acquisition fanboys who are not commenting here for some reason....
Getting papercuts and crying tears of blood drops...
Why lump Sony into this? They foster their studios and did not spend 70 plus Billion Dollars buying up publishers. MS has always been about embrace, extend, extinguish.
This generation is a joke for XBOX.
Phil didnt even inherit a mess, he was equally responsible for it because he sat on the executive so the kinect and XBONE roadmap vision was also on him. Mattrick was the convenient public scapegoat back then but now theres no one to place the blame on.
Papa Satya wants his ROI. No free lunch.
It all started with that damn horse armour. Back then I thought nobody was stupid to buy into that crap. How wrong I was....
Oh no. That didnt even occur to me.
Also many of those staff were absorbed into other studios.
Will there be a XBOX for Square to release games on? Or a MS Games service?
