Sony acquiring Insomniac Games is a sign that the publisher is ready to get serious during the next console generation.
Halo Infinite and Call of Duty co-developer Certain Affinity has been hit with a wave of layoffs, CEO Max Hoberman announced.
Life is Strange developer Don't Nod currently has five unannounced games in the pipeline.
Behind XDefiant's toxic work culture, crunch, delays, and a group of directors and managers internally referred to as 'The Boys Club'.

This game will be tossed out broken unplolished with a bloated budget trying to be cod but will fail sense ubi can get there shit in order. If i was me i would have gotten rid of this boys club asap there is alot looking for work out there.
Every industry has these issues
Some companies I’ve worked for were great and some were toxic as hell (UPS when I was a teenager was extremely toxic and I have heard it still is) It all starts at the top. They either hold people accountable , set standards and treat people with respect or the crap rolls downhill.
Sony will take next generation with ease. They have the best exclusives and gamers trust.
This was a reaction to MS eyeing out insomniac as they were an independent studio that could have been acquired. Sony bought them to secure the studio for Spiderman.
"Sony now has 14 studios under its belt. Microsoft, after its spending spree, has 15. It would be a safe bet that Sony might go looking for other studios to acquire."
The difference is 80% of Sony studios made great games this gen, whereas Microsoft studios only made two *great* games so far imo Forza and Ori and (Moon Studios is a independent developer that's not owned by Microsoft). Rare has been a disappointment this gen imo
they bought and because they are making VR games and VR is very important to Sony, next gen they will push VR even more.
