Just a narrow focused harassment instead right? I can play with words too

It's not often someone would determine themselves guilty now, is it?

ZeekQuattro678d ago

Depends on the plea deal. lmao

“No viral outbreak” at Umbrella, says Umbrella.

Why do I feel the cap here, Activision there I'd multitude of evidence of your company being a toxic workplace so I don't know why I feel something off?

ATVI under Kotick is such a mess. The sooner they are under MS the better, for the employees sake.

MS has their work cut out for them to improve the work culture at ATVI and install the culture of MS instead.

Silly gameAr678d ago

I saw an article not to long ago, I think it's one you might have reported in fact, that said that Acti and MS combined would be even more toxic. Apparently, there were insiders saying that MS where no better because both companies had "golden boys", whatever that means.

You mean the one about HoloLens, not Xbox… it was failed because it wasn’t gaming related.

StarkR3ality678d ago

Xbox actually have a good culture under Phil looking at reports, it's quite relaxed and developers are being afforded a safe working environment without much or any reported crunch.

The downside of that in the lax approach is the frequency of games being delivered (complete lack thereof). But don't blame Xbox for a bad working environment or that they would make it worse, that's just made up bullshit by fanboys who have no idea what they're talking about.

so, its just a focused on certain people?

hoe tonedeaf and delusional can u be lol

Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors: "I deserve a lot of criticism."

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.

Microsoft should have left them stay 3rd party

GamerRN9h ago

If they are let go, they can be whatever they want. They ARE 3rd party now... 🤦

Barlos7h ago

Yeah, they're also jobless.

GamerRN12m ago

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 ....

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

blacktiger9h ago

that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.

Profchaos11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

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

Tacoboto11h ago

It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.

Profchaos11h ago

Possibly guven all the leaks we know the Xbox brand is really struggling in the region.

Yi-Long8h ago

Well, if your consoles and games are barely found in any stores any more, of course you're gonna struggle finding consumers ...

XiNatsuDragnel10h ago

Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo

Profchaos8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers

TheColbertinator9h ago

The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.

I’m Glad Atlus & SE Changed Dates To Avoid Competing With Shadow Of The Erdtree

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."

More intelligent than guerilla games

raWfodog12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

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.
