It is no secret that Sony is once again skipping E3 but a new Opinion Piece looks at what the company may have in mind for the "hundreds of consumer events" they spoke of.
Supercell has released its new squad-building action game Squad Busters in Spain, Mexico, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Canada, and Singapore. This game features characters from different Supercell titles, such as Clash of Clans, Brawl Stars, Hay Day, Clash Royale, and Boom Beach.
As part of its plans to cut 1,900 jobs, Microsoft has reportedly shut down operations at Bethesda France, letting go roughly 15 people
They can form a company if they want, they are just as jobless as if "Microsoft had left them as 3rd party".
"MIcrosoft leaves Bethesda do what they know how to do best" ... close! Oh the irony ....
(Citation from a week old article)
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 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
Like they need hundreds of events to promote it. It promotes itself.
The best promotion they could ever have is their delivery of great exclusive games. They already have this.
Suffice to show up game play, console and their exclusives. The rest will be history.
They can do one major reveal event. And also show up at the Tokyo Game Show to keep their presence known there as Japan has fallen to mobile gaming.
Then, have a few mini PSX events throughout the world in the major countries PlayStation sells to let the fans get a first hand experience of PS5 up close. And they'll do fine.
The internet has killed most of these major conferences as you can feed consumers direct information at any time. And fan experiences will create more positive word of mouth than any industry journalists or bloggers as they have become a negative influence with their bias or advertising corruption. You can't even get most of them to speak the truth about broken games before release. Sony don't need to rely on most of them until they change their ways.
They only need one event. Held in my room. VIP only, as in me only. Exclusivity of the event will sell it ;)
