Rolling for Rare's long overdue death.

>Buy a whole bunch of game studios
>Eventually lay everyone off

Are video games the only industry where massive consolidation happens that just leads to everyone getting fired?

>>714007129
not happening. They exist to keep Sea of Thieves going for generations to come.

disgusting kike

>>714007325
No but it's the only industry where the workers just take it up the arse when it happens

>>714007325
I think journalism is similar? Because they just want the name or IP and have their own team filling it with content.

Man this must be an old pic-
>Astrobot in the background

"layoffs" aka try to follow the same company roadmap with jeets instead of domestic workers

how has no one made a hit piece on this guy

>>714006904 (OP)
Based, Americans taking it up the ass from corporations is justice.

>>714008838
The biggest branches will be in Europe, dipshit European. Ninja Theory is in European. And their hardware and localization teams in Europe will be squashed because Xbox hardware isn't selling and hasn't for months.

Nice self own, Eurotrash begging for American protection on top of it too.

Entertainment at large now. We're seeing a rapid consolidation of just everything, but then to pay of the costs of buying everything they gut the studios and just keep whatever IPs they own as trophies.

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAR

>>714006904 (OP)
AAAAAAAAH!!!!! BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>how has no one made a hit piece on this guy
A lot of people on YouTube made videos just talking about how much of a dumbass he is.

>>714008359
obsessed

>>714009053
And then what happens

>>714006904 (OP)
They're probably still trying to recover as much of their investment in Activision Blizzard as quickly as possible.

I guess Sea of Thieves is already dead

Oh boy can't wait for the multi-trillion dollar company in corporate America to lay-off 100 devs, then promptly rehire 90 of those same devs as contractors so they no longer need to pay benefits for them, just like they have for literal fucking decades just like every other massive American corp once they mapped out the game theory of the US stock exchange, and for people to write and yap about it like it's particularly fresh news that will not repeat every single year in corporate America until dumb fucks learn how the exchange works.

It's almost like this is a systematic problem that will never go away until the rules of the game itself are changed or something.

>>714006904 (OP)
Which studios are you rooting for closure?

Jobs are at steak, and you're busting out the A1 sauce!

>>714017412
Ninja Theory, but they look bulletproof for an unknown reason

>>714007325
It happens in all fields you just happens to frequent a video game board 24/7 so video game news is all you hear.
>>714008838
Basically Xbox is pulling out of Europe, they say studios but it's mostly going to be sales & logistics staff, and in the future only Euros who live near US military bases will be able to buy Xboxes.

It really is remarkable what a complete failure Phil Spencer was as CEO of Xbox

>>714021038
He wasn't, it's just MS greed ruins far-sighted plans.
Gamepass is the only option in the world of $80+ goyming, all they had to do was make games for it but instead someone decided to "optimize" the branch

What could Xbox have done differently to save themselves
