EA and Take-Two just took a beating in the stock market after their earnings calls, and both are side-eyeing Fortnite as a factor.
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.
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
It is funny as I was saying to someone that Anthem will be a big test as people have blasted it online. Yet I also say EA has an interesting consumer base in that they take a ton of heat online and until recently still keep going along strong. I saw that Anthem is expected to sell 5-6 million units in the first month which would be a hit for them despite the negativity and then all eyes will likely wait for E3 and their EA play. Madden and FIFA sell and they will likely be waiting to see what Star Wars announcements come. Let us not forget that despite not being involved in the production; they will be getting Apex Legends money and at 2 million users and growing; that will help.
Usually you'd feel bad for any company struggling financially.... but not these 2, especially EA.
Love it!
