I'm surprised it took this long

say something nice about her

I hope it's all the Indian contractors, women, and trannies.
Keep all white men, Asian men, and black people that are funny.

Obsidianbros, hold strong. We made 3 games this year alone. Nothing is happening to us.

What did you expect since they put their games on PC in the mid 2010s? Here's the idea of a console, you buy parts in mass bulk and you subsidize the hardware loss it takes to make it with subscription or game purchases. Within 2 years your hardware should be selling even or at a profit, generally the idea and the MO for Nintendo and Sony. So what happens when you get rid of your exclusive games? Well, this.

And the solution that Xbox and Xbox refugees on the PC is that a Microsoft PC-Xbox hybrid will save the company. Now think about this, just consider this. You are making a gaming PC that costs 1000 dollars. You sell at a loss. Your average /v/ poster is going to pirate games or run Steam library. They don't pay for online, why would they with Steam. So you sell console at a loss or you sell for profit, which is just the market for PC OEM/Prebuilt. Since the average Xbox owner these days is South American, Indian, Easter European, Southeast Asian who is living off welfare GamePass they don't actually "get" the hole Microsoft is deep in.

What's going on at Microsoft? Even when they made a profit last quarter they still did layoffs. Is it just mismanagement or is it just part of their ritual to sacrifice employees to save money for their shareholders?

Next gen Xbox isn't selling at a loss, anon. That shit is selling at a profit. Xbox is dead.

>ok who is gonna get the axe?
Obsidian, Double Fine, Rare, Compulsion Games, Inxile, less likely Ninja Theory, 343,

Why do Xbox need to keep anything besides Bethesda and COD open anyway

>>713561237
They are probably getting rid of everything else. Maybe keep Gears. But they proved with the remasters Coalition is not necessary.
I bet that Perfect Dark studio is cooked.

>>713560601
Exactly

Guess after the Activision acquisition, investors noticed xbox and started to ask where is the money? So Nadella sent his people to "optimize" the company. Closing Tango studio had no sense from Xbox as a platform standpoint, especially considering how long xbox tried to get japanese studio, but corpos don't care about such things and they don't care about prestige games

>>713561134
Obsidian and Double Fine are both working on games right now

Game Pass was always meant to just be a stopgap, short term PR boost to help dig the brand out of its Xbone sized hole. Trying to parlay it in the next generation into a full-on platform for the long term was incredibly stupid.

what will happen to my games and achievements bros...

Life at massive companies must be crazy
They had to spend 70 Billion and go through global regulators before someone higher up finally asked wtf are you doing

>>713561134
They just showed games from half those studios
