    Unless it’s Call of Duty, Xbox doesn’t give a shit about any other FPS.

    I think they may have lost me. I’ve been diehard for years and years and I’m watching them destroy studios and lives while taking my money.

    I don’t like tribalism. I have put a lot of money into my Xbox library. I vastly prefer the Xbox controller and the Xbox UI. I am thinking about going all in with Sony now and that should scare Microsoft, because I am a rare example of what an Xbox faithful looks like.

    Xbox didn’t let go of anyone. Romero isn’t owned by Microsoft and Microsoft couldn’t let Romero’s employees go if it wanted to.

  4. Every First Letter Capitalized Is Weirdly Hard To Read, but that sucks. I expect Microsoft to introduce Train Our AI: The Game any day now.

    I was about to get Game Pass after I finished Expedition 33 on Steam.

    Not anymore.

    What the hell happened to Xbox? How did they fall off a cliff?

    However many billion to buy Activision blizzard and for fvcking what?

    it’s such an insane decision that they’ve spend like 80 billion dollars in the last few years buying game studios, then when they actually start to make games they decide they’ve spent too much and cancel all of them. Like seriously what the fuck are they doing? why did they even buy these studios in the first place??

  9. Still pulling for John to make that big return. Hopefully the team can pivot and keep the momentum.

  10. I imagine we are yet to see the full damage of the layoffs from Xbox. Partner studios like this one wont count towards their own layoffs but it will be impacted by cancellations.

  11. Silver lining: maybe they will not make the Doom games Xbox exclusives in the future.

    So what? They just horded all the ips and do nothing with them? Maybe a few re releases in the future but IPS are just gonna be stuck in limbo now?

    PlayStation numbering:

    * PS
    * PS2
    * PS3
    * PS4
    * PS5

    Xbox numbering:

    * XBOX
    * XBOX 360
    * XBOX One (???)
    * XBOX Series X (???!!!)
    * XBOX Series S

    At some point, it crosses from ‘Stupidity’ to ‘Deliberate sabotage’

  14. More whining from PlayStation fanboys pretending this need affects them or that this is somehow devastating news. Can we just get a mega thread or something? 

    All I know is the the actual games they have released have been good and some of the best games this year. It’s a good time to be an Xbox user. 

  15. What the hell is going on. Xbox went on a tear buying everyone up, I thought they were about to have a renaissance. Instead it looks like they’re walking down the line executing them.

    God Microsoft is one of the dumbest companies to ever exist.
