A Take-Two DMCA has hit a GTA Mods website -- and strangely, one of the affected items isn't a mod at all: it's a vanilla save file.
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.
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.
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
Man ive lost so much respect for Rockstar in just one month. The over-reliance on GTA Online was one thing but this has been horrendous with the complete lack of any new IPs or even general releases, GTA5 remaster state and price, the GTA collection price, no steam release, no physical ps5 release, the state of the port (which is to be expected when you contract it out to a mobile dev), not sending review copies or releasing any gameplay videos, censoring content, the remarkably awful switch release, pulling from their trash PC store, mod takedowns, removing the original and better versions from online stores, etc.
Went from being one of the best developers in the world making some of my favourite games to now being up there as one of the worst. Never in a million years would have imagined all this just a few years ago. What the heck happened to them
Im sure they've got some crazy high budget thing they've been working on for the past decade that'll blow us all away but they really need to talk about it asap cause public opinion of them is at an all time low here
There's only so much GTA I can torrent LOL. And I sent so many emails with torrent links to Take-Twos email and said to them "Just keep on doing what your doing with your shit take-downs and I'll keep doing what I'm doing in this email, and you cannot do anything about that now can you? I'm in for a good laugh just try to take down all these torrents, you lose I win" Hmm, my shit list is growing so much with these companies, EA, Blizzard, Take-Two, etc. 🤣
