EA CEO Andrew Wilson says that the publisher's Battlefield and EA Sports games have been leaders in "every platform generation shift."
Embracer CEO demonstrates a masterclass in mental gymnastics in latest interview.
"I'm sure I deserve a lot of criticism, but I don't think my team or companies deserve all the criticism. I could take a lot of that blame myself. But ultimately I need to believe in the mission," he said.
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.
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."
Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.
HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.
It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.
Correction:
EA CEO Andrew Wilson says that the publisher's Battlefield and EA's lock down on Sports games licenses, buying up competitors, dismantling them or using money to strong arm others, have been a MONOPOLY in "every platform generation shift."
Yeah. That sounds much better. I feel like I just showered. After getting bullshit on my shirt from the CEO's words.
fuck off ea
If by leaders they mean those people who used to type “first” on every comment section sure. Just because you bish bash bosh out another yearly churn for day1 doesn’t make you leaders in a generation shift is say that’s goes to say insomniac who are actually pushing the console a bit and making a fully next gen game (ratchet) like infamous for a Ps5 port of the current gen sports game doesn’t count they just make it look nicer and barely change a thing that’s not generation shift that’s trying to balance and stick with where the most are still you won’t see proper next generation versions until end of this year if not next once the older consoles have died off and they don’t have a choice 😑🥱 literally no interest in battlefield again same with cod I’ll stick with deathloop something original
Surely you can't include Fifa. It may have been a leader with menus and commentary but the gameplay has been terrible year after year for God knows how long
