Different voice actor too.
The whole piece is worth a read but to me this paragraph sums it all up:
“Who even knows what would please these people? They say they’re focusing their resources on bigger games, then they say they need smaller games. They say they love your games, then they shut your studio down. They make more money than they’ve ever made before, then they cut costs repeatedly, drastically, and cruelly. They buy more studios than they can manage, so the answer is not to use that aforementioned money to hire more (or perhaps better) managers, but to have fewer studios so management’s job can be easier.”
Give it a year. Thankfully Toys for Bob was able to buy themselves out, otherwise surely they would have either been shut down or put to work in the Call of Duty mines.
Shutting down entire studios should not be a part of normal cost saving.
I heard they were basically forced into that situation after Bethesda canceled their Prey sequel (which looked great BTW.)
There have been rumors and speculation, but that’s not what MS is saying.
"More interestingly, [Xbox President Sarah] Bond teased a roadmap focused on next-generation hardware.
“'And what we’re focused on there is delivering the largest technical leap you will have ever seen in a hardware generation, which makes it better for players and better for creators and the visions they’re building,” Bond explained in the recent episode of the Official Xbox Podcast.'"

I hope everyone who plays Call of Duty next year on Game Pass takes a moment of silence for the ~2000 people that had to lose their jobs to make it possible.
I am interested in a Series X some day, but no disc drive is a deal breaker. My only hope is the regular Series X will some day see a price cut.
It’s honestly hard to look at and one of the reasons I stopped going years ago (one of the guys’ repeated transphobic social media posts was the other.)
The lolbugthesda meme exists because it’s true. There aren’t many games I’ve had to completely start over because of a game breaking glitch in a side quest, but that was Skyrim and the infamous thieves guild glitch.
They’re good games but pretending there are no bugs, either funny cosmetic ones or serious progress blocking ones, helps no one.
People mostly didn’t like the story I think. Personally it was my favorite game since the 2nd one due to the day night cycle and the expansive world.
Got a link?
Phil Spencer, be disingenuous? Well, I never!

I’m interested but I’m thinking it may be too difficult for me.
I’m actually pretty salty about this. I paid for early access knowing there’d be bugs and unfinished content, but I didn’t think a week after launch I still wouldn’t even be able to play it.

That’s a real bummer, especially as I ended up really liking Callisto. I hope everyone lands on their feet.
Game Pass used to mean all first party games, day one, and now 2/3 tiers on console won’t have that. It’s a pretty shocking turnaround.
