>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?

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

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

Based, Americans taking it up the ass from corporations is justice.

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.

They're probably still trying to recover as much of their investment in Activision Blizzard as quickly as possible.

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.

It happens in all fields you just happens to frequent a video game board 24/7 so video game news is all you hear.

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

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
