Head of Xbox Phil Spencer is reportedly "reevalauting" the relationship of Xbox with Activision Blizzard, according to a new report. This follows comments made by Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan.
Brendan writes; "Head of digital product development Dan Ayoub tells us about the toy maker's plans to get back in the game."
As part of previously-announced layoffs, Take-Two Interactive is closing Intercept Games and Roll7.
I loved Rollerdrome and was looking forward to a Rollerdrome 2. 😐
Don't want to be melodramatic but as far you can be upset over video-game news ... bit heartbroken.
I feel like there's a trend of well made games like this going largely ignored by the gaming audience. It's quite frustrating. I hope the devs form a new studio but I suppose they'd have to start again from scratch.
Olliolli 2, olliolli world and rollerdrome are some of my favorite indies of all time. This industry is disgusting lately.
I loved Olli Olli.
I wanted to like Rollerdrome a lot more than I actually did. Shame about the studio though
In a recent interview, Todd Howard revealed that he has no plans to retire and reiterated Bethesda's openness to help from other studios.
Oh great, now we have to deal with Anasts Bethesda fetish indefinitely.
Thanks a lot, Todd
"with no plans to retire anytime soon" I mean this is like a common news topic involving his name. Knock it off and do some actual newsing. This is like the biggest "No Duh" article of the day, and several sites had to regurgitate it. Geez. So lame.

This is when he'll retire.
Good on Phil and Jim for this, good leadership.
Whether or not Phil was just "following Sony's lead" is something we will never know (Sony and MS's emails could have been sent to their employees around the same time and one could have been reported first), and honestly, it doesn't matter.
It's great that both Sony and MS are putting pressure on Activision to remove Kotick, and it's not something I think most of us were expecting.
Bobby Kotick sent a voicemail threatening to kill one of his employees, and his own spokesperson had to acknowledge that it happened while trying to both apologize for it and downplay it. If anyone here sent death threats to their colleagues, we would be fired, and rightfully so.
Good on you Phil we need more companies to follow suit.
