Gaming Blend "Now this is news that breaks my heart. A lot of our readers felt that we were picking on Capcom and Electronic Arts. But today, this news regarding disc-locked content has nothing to do with EA or Capcom. This time, the culprit behind this anti-consumerist scheme is Deep Silver."
According to a LinkedIn post, Bethesda and Xbox Game Studio representatives will meet up with Deep Silver Volition employees.
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.
This is called good PR. And an opportunity to hire veterans over scrubs.
Not to call them scrubs but yeah some veteran devs are more welcome than others with less experience
You can hire veterans all day long but it’s the talent Microsoft lacks.
It was mostly outside of gaming. Most of the game studios weren't affected besides 343i and Coalition from what I recall
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.
There u go. This is way more acceptable than buying up studios. Buy individual talent until you strengthen your already owned studios. 👏🏽
Publisher formerly known as Koch Media will merge Deep Silver, Prime Matter and Ravenscourt under single brand.
Deep Silver has revealed that several of its major franchises would not be at E3 2021 or the Summer Game Fest.
Kind of expected TS4 not to be there since they just got a team together for it
Their parent (Embracer) owns close to 70 studios now and they have ~150 games in development.. but those three are certainly amongst the largest IP they hold so not an unfair point..
Dead Island 2 is such a weird one - it reminds me of Homefront in that its a sequel to a fairly ordinary game and going through multiple developers and concepts.. unless it is shaping up to be properly amazing, at some point somebody needs to just say this game isn't worth the time and money.
Some truth in advertising here, as they must really know something(y) that I don't know.

I just hope that the next Saint's Row is a bit more grounded. SR2 was great because in terms of gameplay and story it had just enough wackiness. SR3 was good, and fun, but got a bit too crazy adding zombies and all that. Just go back to what made SR2 so great.
disappointing is an understatement for how this turned out.
This needs to get knocked in the head, right now. I beg of consumers, don't you dare touch this shit with a ten foot pole. Let it stagnant on the disc, never pay for it and never by any means celebrate disc locked DLC. This crap needs to stop, it's spreading.
I don't see why developers don't just GIVE us the content they "lock" on the disc from the start. I feel like trivial things like hidden stages, extra costumes or secret items etc.; things we got used to obtaining on a regular basis in the last generation of gaming, now all need to be paid for, even if said content is already available to use.
Which ever person in the development team who makes the decisions to have day one DLC needs to be repeatedly punched in the face until they get it through their head that this is not cool.
whatever, not that I care for this game anyways.
