this could have been a tweet.
lol and everybody complained about multiplayer games as a service. "no thanks! single player story games for me, thanks!".
well... proof is in the pudding. most people love a good proper competition, and if it comes in the form of a great, addicting game then that's even better. this is that game. this is the exact reason publishers are pushing for GaaS. I personally am fine with it. There's space for all types of games, and I love a good multiplayer rom...
It ultimately comes down to money. Even good games that don’t make money don’t go anywhere.
As sad as it is it actually makes perfect sense. It just requires you to be objective from a business perspective and understand the web of revenue and operating budgets
This is just pile on journalism. Xbox has dumped 27 metric tons of cash into NT and this will be one of the biggest Xbox releases that will actually push the quality bar on AAA games (finally). I seriously doubt they are going to tank this studio all things considered.
I could see why if they had to chop studios they chose the ones they did (purely from a spreadsheet perspective, not accolades perspective). That doesn’t make it better but they were business decisions and it...
Lmao again just like I said they should do months ago…. Naturally to disagrees. Been a great month to keep be proven right lol.
Everybody wants Xbox to fail then gets mad at them when the lack of growth of its products/services lead to closures. I read the comments. Everybody hates on box and celebrates when sales hardware sales drop or when it ends up in 3rd place for that quarter. I’ve experienced the shit talking firsthand. Everybody celebrated gamepass growth slowing down… well. This is the other side of that. You can’t want Xbox to fail then be mad at them when that starts becoming a possibility. Time to be grown...
Seriously. I’ve made several comments about it on this site already.
Well that was quick. Seems like days ago nobody would shut up about it. Somehow there’s still 20 stories a day on it tho.
There’s responsible way to handle these things. Review bombing is childish.
What short memories everybody has. According to the internet they became “the worst studio” after redfall… the internet made redfall a bigger deal than redfall just being a shitty game becaus *gasp* Xbox bought them and” just wanted shitty gamepass games so quality wasn’t a priority”.
(The reality was it was just rushed to market to fill a release hole).
Everybody wants Xbox to fail but as soon as closures start happening suddenly that was never the hope at all a...
The layoffs and closures are shitty but this is a bit of a stretch to relate to marketing for a controller, based on your own personal thought process. I would never have associated the two myself. Feels like a pile on article for clicks imo.
Most gamers aren’t thinking about the job market when they’re buying a controller, nor do they even care how the sausage is made (as horrible as that is its true).
Oh right. This is N4Helldivers, my mistake. I wanted to read about some other games.
Lmao I don’t seem to remember him ever catching a break.
I’m sure the support and franchise will live on due to its success. They may even keep some ppl and roll them into other studios. There are layoffs across the map tho in the game/tech industries in general tho including Sony, Facebook and more. My personal family has been affected by them.
Gamers: “we want Xbox to fail! Sales are down!! Woohoo!!”
Also gamers: “Xbox is evil, they’re shutting down studios that make games!”
And will have the power of a console from 2012
And we as gamers have to accept our role in that. Constantly never being satisfied. Constantly demanding more while paying less. Constantly demanding better frame rates, better graphics, more modes and faster faster faster…. Then review bombing the product when a demand isn’t met. Meanwhile those same demands are making games more difficult, complex and more expensive to create than ever before, on shrinking timelines that burn out employees and make their lives miserable.
...
lmfao.... pathetic.
I wish Nintendo would release a real console like it use to do before it went down gimmick road and never found its way back. I remember when Nintendo lead the way in performance and fun. I feel like the game cube was its last true powerhouse console that directly competed with Sony and Xbox. Miss those days.
