Why Xbox could look to the RPG genre to help turn around its fortunes ahead of the upcoming Xbox Showcase.
Zelnick and Slatoff have received a $25m bonus for their management fund after sacking 550 people from Take Two Interactive.
I really don't even think CEO's should get bonuses. If I were a CEO and I made millions, I would like to think I wouldn't. Or if I had to legally, I would maybe find a way to disperse among the lower tier employees. Take my bonus and turn it into stocks to disperse out to those employees evenly.
CEO's work for shareholders and are shareholders they also rely on share price to receive their multimillion dollar paydays and they will happily fire thousands to protect shares. CEO's are there to extract the most value out of a company and give it to the wealthy few.
That is so god damn fucked up!! Unfortunately...I know damn well I will be still buying their games but shit like this should seriously have some sort of repercussion of some sort. 550 people get their lives totally up-ended and the leadership get a bonus on top of an already high salary. 25M could set those 550 people up with an annual salary each of $45,000. Depending on where you live, that is a very livable salary even...

Good.
Now that you´re releasing games and making big money from every gaming platform, you should double that amount and give us even more day one third party games!
I like how they twist cannibalising game sales into "invests".
No lifetime sales with MS, they'll F-up gaming the same as streaming services have done to the movie industry and it's workforce.
we know this, we have known this since last year.
this is not new or news.
The Epic Games Store has two new freebies for you this week, and one is an apocalyptic nightmare
RPG is used so loosely these days. What makes Starfield an RPG? God of War has stats and builds and hitpoints and various magic abilities. Is that an RPG too? Not to mention that almost every Japanese RPG comes to Playstation but rarely Xbox.
Avowed, The Outer Worlds 2, Fable, Starfield are what we know of.
InXile Entertainment the wasteland devs as well are already developing there next rpg after wasteland 3.
Microsoft all about dat heat they bringing.
Xbox studios, not a chance. Maybe one of the studios they bought.
I hope that they vary the formula from the Outer Worlds / Fallout / Skyrim style.
i dont know if it needs an RPG per se.
games in general? yes.
