UK video games industry trade bodies have responded to the UK's decision to leave the European Union.
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
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
Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo
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.

Now other EU member countries want referendums, Netherlands for a Nexit, Denmark for a Dexit, Greece for a Grexit, Austria, Sweden, Spain, even France as well in it's current state with country wide protests, EU is about to crumble. Two years and counting for DEMOCRACY to be restored to the UK. No more '61.5% of laws' being made in Brussels/Strasbourg. Control of immigration using an Australia skill based points system, training the British people and youth for jobs instead of getting in random migrants who work for peanuts (peanuts which are worth a lot in their own country) driving down wages. No TTIP forcing privatisation and destroying regulation (the major factor as to why people voted leave).
Uhhh did I miss something?
Anyone remembers the game Frontline: Fuel of War? The game predicted this, the rupture of the EU, after that it was the rupture of the UN. Were pretty much setting up for WWIII and Armageddon.
I feel insulted as an European tbh by what the Britsh ppl decided, they really never cared for the rest of the Europe, they never wanted the Euro and always tried to act on their own, they still have that island mentality that the land belongs to them and no-one else, I have British friends insulting Portuguese immigrants and others because they went looking for a better life in England, yet they forget my own country, specially Algarve and the coast line is completely full of English ppl who come for our weather and safety since we have little crime, what we should do now is kick them out for their so special rainy "island", independent of the impact that could have in the economy. I'm really really sad to see the world becoming closer and closer to another world war instead of becoming friendlier, once I thought Internet could bring the world together, but it seems our politicians don't use it and still think as nationalists. On a positive note this summer I'll finally meet in person someone from Netherlands I met 12 years ago through video-games and we become long-date good friends, speak everyday since then yet never drank a beer together or even shook hands, until very shortly that is.
