The Xbox team has been working for years for this big day, with great anticipation for fan’s reaction to our big reveal. The Xbox Reveal event drove record-breaking viewership – with over 8.45 million people watching the Xbox Reveal event in the first 24 hours, rivaling one of the top-most concurrent streamed events of all time.
Just how shock-ing is it?
EA has come under fire for making unexpected changes to its FC 24 Team of the Season unlocks.
Companies, particularly public companies like Microsoft, need to grow.
i mean its pretty simple, they spent close to 30 billion in acquiring activision, they thought they'd make it bk no problem, and that didnt happen.
its just shit that because of MS's miscalculation alot of people lost their jobs.
They are going to use AI for a large portion of the game development process. Upper management need bonuses and the shareholders need more money. So, people will lose their jobs.
They shouldn't have bought any studios. Some is okay...but they went on a shopping spree...stupid
The better question is why did Microsoft buy publishers for a service they were subsidizing they knew couldn't support.
And why are so many websites trying to make people feel sorry for Microsoft instead of truly criticizing the fact they are closing studios and killing jobs that would have been fine if Microsoft themselves hadn't gotten involved.
Quit feeling sorry for Microsoft and start feeling sorry for the industry and the all the gamers who are actually losing out.
THIS IS MICROSOFTS FAULT.
The first thing that happens after any major acquisition or merger is a consolidation of the whole new portfolio, which includes cutting any excess, bloat or portfolios that don't fit the larger MO of the big boy. So far, it's been par for the course with Microsoft and that's why gamers have been so against this acquisition. Tango Gameworks is the beginning. You think Microsoft wants to pay to keep small timers like Ninja Theory in business?
There is absolutely zero evidence to suggest that Microsoft will improve any of these studios, but plenty to suggest that they will get rid of what they don't need and hold onto the IP. The real agenda of the acquisition was always to acquire The Elder Scrolls, Diablo, Fallout, Call of Duty, Candy Crush etc. that will create millions in passive revenue stream for Microsoft regardless of where the games release. Microsoft simply wants their cut.
Because of Games Pass Microsoft has no interest in investing in new IP which is risky and requires creative talent they can neither nurture nor manage. Game Pass has also not grown in the way Microsoft expected it to, even post acquisitions. Therefore the logical thing to do, without serious money makers to release, is to cut as much cost as possible.
just not sure they wanted the people to actually "see" what they were "showing". I know I didn't and I was ready to be on board w/ their new box.
Funny thing though coming from "news.xbox.com". It seems MS as a whole, is always much more interested in the flash, hype , and talking up media reaction to and behind their "actions", rather than the actual substance of those actions.
While I didn't really dig it even though integrating your entertainment center did seem nifty if it works right, my dad was really pumped for it. He's not into gaming at all, but the tv features excited him enough to want to get this thing for Christmas.
Me? I'm simply waiting to see the games at e3.
That's a solid number of viewers to be honest
lol, no wonder there was so much hate and vitriol after the feedback. Nearly 10 million core gamers tuning in for disappointment.
Bravo Microsoft, you just might win "Worst Company in America" in 2014 if you follow through with all the stuff you have in store for gamers.
Keep wishing on a star
