That's pretty cool, but didn't they just lay of 10k as a whole. Reportedly some from the gaming division even.

Confused in pa.

Sonyslave3371d ago

Yes they did , it the circle of life in the tech bizz.

Circle of life of meh games

This is called good PR. And an opportunity to hire veterans over scrubs.

phoenixwing370d ago

Not to call them scrubs but yeah some veteran devs are more welcome than others with less experience

Flakegriffin370d ago (Edited 370d ago )

You can hire veterans all day long but it’s the talent Microsoft lacks.

Zeref371d ago (Edited 371d ago )

It was mostly outside of gaming. Most of the game studios weren't affected besides 343i and Coalition from what I recall

Charlieboy333370d ago (Edited 370d ago )

But of course. Just look at the latest Saint's Row....that is exactly the level of quality and writing that Xbox strives for these days.

Aloymetal370d ago

Nope, like Redfall, Craig infinite

but remakes require far less effort for these companies and they can still charge $70 for them!

Feel like everyone makes fun of Skyrim re-releasing like 18 times yet applaud these remasters elsewhere. Would much prefer NEW games

CrimsonWing69555d ago

Making sequels really is the way to go. Otherwise we'll be stuck playing only the first entry, forever!!!
