The last few weeks have been buzzing with more tragic news concerning
gamers’ buying options. The apparent news is that the brick and mortar
store Hastings is in serious financial trouble. Hasting is known for
selling comics, video games, collectibles, dvds, music, and books.
They often have good sales on used games. If this truly is the last gasp of
breath for this store, will gamers get to see fantastic clearance deals on PS4 and Xbox Games? Will Overwatch hit $20? What was the final nail in the coffin?
You'll know of EGX. You'll know of MCM Comic Con. Today the two events have confirmed that they'll be coming together under one roof
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 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 launched the PlayStation Store "May Savings" sale, and this one has over 2,000 items! Read on for the complete list of games.
Too bad they don't have stores here in Nevada. I'd totally patronize the place.
Sad to hear,Hastings was a cool store it had so many neat things to buy and not just games either.
