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 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 launched the PlayStation Store "May Savings" sale, and this one has over 2,000 items! Read on for the complete list of games.
“Atari plans to take the Atari VCS to crowdfunding for help from fans to launch this thing.”
That just spells automatic failure right there. No console in this era can hope to succeed when it needs Kickstarter to come to fruition.
You know, in all fairness and logic this thing could turn out to be more successful than XBOX One. Wouldn't that be something...
I hope it's at least as powerful as a Switch.
Unless it pairs with Steam or Blizzard or one of the fun ones like Humble Bundle or Bundle Stars its hard to believe this will go any further than a good thought. I suppose they couldn't go portable with the excellent but disasterous LYNX still in the minds of us oldies. Mind you Ninty did have the Virtual Boy and still somehow came out the other side o it.
In this day and age, why bother?
I’d be lying if I said I still wasn’t at least curious about this thing. Pretty dumb that Atari wants to launch it soon and has yet to even show it in action, let alone even give us a general idea of its games library.
