Xbox promised that the Activision and Bethesda acquisitions were going to help positively develop and expand the game industry.
Years later this acquisition has destroyed so many studios and the livelihoods of many talented developers with the layoffs.
Xbox is laying off 8% of its workforce today. That is 1600 people who are losing their livelihoods, with further cuts expected in the near future.
The gaming industry is incomprehensibly terrible right now. I actually cannot remember a time where it felt this bad.
— Sony is killing physicals.
— Generative AI is becoming more widely adopted.
— Layoffs are happening virtually everywhere.
— Console/hardware prices are continuing to rise exponentially.
— Xbox is crumbling.
I’m not usually a doomer but we are in a very rough spot.
@SynthPotato I feel like Assassin's Creed 1 Remake is in much need of a remake. Other than the graphics, I think they could really polish up the parkour, combat and most importantly some areas of the story. However I'm super excited to play AC4 next week!
Extremely informative video covering why you shouldn't worry about the narrative/story quality of Grand Theft Auto VI.
Highly recommend you check out this banger from @Cade_Onder.
New YouTube video 🚨
I made a video highlighting some of the key people at Rockstar that will ensure GTA 6 retains the studio’s signature level of quality in Dan Houser’s absence.
There are even some special guests in the video 👀
Check it out: https://t.co/IhDYpTTsMa
New video is LIVE.
I decided to cover the subject of why you should stop waiting for Grand Theft Auto VI to release. As much as I am excited for GTA 6, I have stopped waiting for it to release and here's why you should apply the same perspective.

Honestly the story of GTA 5 is so bad and the ending makes no sense.
In the end an experienced criminal and a psychopath decide to eliminate the people who forced them to do their dirty work. So why didn't they do that at the start of the game? Genuinely a very bad story.
We will absolutely be hearing official accurate figures on GTA 6 pre-orders during the Take-Two call in August.
Anyone else reporting on this data and confirming it is accurate is wrong.
Be aware no figures have officially come out on pre-orders. Do not listen to outlets or “experts”
We could get figures next week but it’s highly likely we won’t hear until the August Take-Two call
I’ve been on vacation these last couple of weeks and fly home later today.
Huge gaming news has occurred while I’ve been away, so you know for sure I’ll be covering GTA 6 when I return!
Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI begin at midnight local time on June 25.

@GameRoll_ Stating that it is clear the standard edition is packed too is a huge misstatement. We’ve got no clarity on the amount of customisation available in the standard edition so we can’t make that judgement right now.
@Cade_Onder An opinion is an opinion and although I disagree, I actually genuinely appreciate and respect your perspective on this, especially given how you've framed it!
I've only just completed the original Tomb Raider for the very first time after failing to do so when I was a kid.
Each level is easily recognisable even with this being a completely overhauled remake. Hoping they keep the boss fights as challenging as the original.
Adventure beyond legend.
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis releases February 12, 2027, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and the Nintendo Switch 2!
I'm unbelievably hyped for this game and it can't be CONTROLLED!
Alan Wake 2 is one of my favourite games of all time and this looks extraordinary. Super interested to see how the Remedy Universe continues.
Nothing stays contained forever.
