In Star Wars, Yoda famously said that there were only 2 Sith Lords, “No more, no less; the Master and the Apprentice.”
His words held true for the game industry for several years. Sega and Nintendo PINK: NTDOY successfully prevented Panasonic NYSE: PC, Philips, NEC Corporation and other manufacturers from making headway.
As part of its plans to cut 1,900 jobs, Microsoft has reportedly shut down operations at Bethesda France, letting go roughly 15 people
Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much
Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region
that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.
Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.
I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games
It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.
Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo
I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers
The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
did my pc gaming replaced nintendo/sony/ms in the last 20years? nope.
want steambox? go on steam and press the "BigPicture" fonction.
Valve are the future suckersz, Game over,
I don't think the majority of console gamers give a flying crap about the Steam Box.
I sure as hell don't.
If it'll cost 300$, why not. The problem here is brand awareness. My mom doesn't know what Steam is, but knows exactly what Playstation and Xbox are. They need to gather to casuals, not us. It won't cost 300$ though, and my mom will probably never know nor care what Steam is. And who'll buy this? Certainly not people with high-end PCs and Steam on them.
Depends on the hardware. We'll see
