In a document responding to the CMA, Microsoft claims that EA is the largest games supplier to PlayStation.
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
So by such logic that wouldn't also make them the biggest 3rd party game supporter to MS as well? Nevermind that likely puts Activision in the top ten if not five on such a list thus bringing into question why Sony wouldn't have issue in allowing a major competitor buy them and their library much less Blizzard's.
Interesting same with Microsoft by that logic but also Sony and most ppl are afraid of the power COD and how owning it creates an unfair advantage to the consumer and playstation.
Oh Microsoft.
You need to shut up. Seriously.
All you've done the last year is convince everyone by your own admission that you are by far, the worst platform holder. And you've done it well, we all know that now
My question is why should we be ok with the worst platform holder being in charge of the industries most valuable franchise. What makes you think you've earned or deserve that?
You don't let your clumsy kid with a clump foot who bumps into walls carry your fine china. You do it yourself because you can be trusted not to fck it up. You can definately NOT be trusted with this responsibility.
Even after it was revealed that CoD is the biggest seling franchise and best selling games on PS for 10 consecutive years?
Wow what a spin
When you have FIFA, madden on yearly cycles along with at least 2 or 3 other projects and some small lower quality games then yeah but doesn't mean those games are system sellers
