@JezCorden Nobody at Xbox cares about talent or skillset anymore. It’s being run by an AI exec who’s only there to prepare the brand to be sold off. Making quality games is no longer the primary agenda.
@JezCorden They shouldn’t, but they will. This is the first sacrifice required of Xbox to make the misguided downgrade back to exclusives financially possible.
@PeterP_1985@geoffkeighley Geoff is single handedly responsible for the decline in the quality of “award winning” games in recent years. He also played a large part in the death of E3.
@LawrdMisha@JezCorden You have maybe 2 more years of Xbox. Tops. Asha is planning a massive wave of layoffs before they cancel project Helix. And I will play my PlayStation. Also my Switch 2. Also playing both my PCs. Never buying an Xbox again tho. The Xbox I bought into died when Asha took over.
@replicant2097 Actually yes, that’s exactly what Sony will do. I don’t think people realize just how long Xbox has been trying to build a relationship with Sony so Xbox could actually put games like Halo onto PlayStation. Sony never allowed it in the past. That’s the reason it took so long.
@immortal201ray@JezCorden The strategy of being EVERYWHERE saved Xbox and made it the most dominant publisher on the planet. Now Asha’s going to mass fire employees and scale the entire Xbox division of Microsoft down to brace for all the money her exclusivity is going to cost the company.
@tomwarren@asha_shar Can’t be Xcloud. She’s killing multi platform releases, Xbox play anywhere, and Xcloud. The whole “anything is an Xbox” campaign is dead sadly. It wouldn’t make sense to pull all of Xcloud’s ads down if it were actually part of her business model.
@pcgamer This is like the only page I’ve seen honestly and accurately reporting on what’s happening to Xbox. This new CEO has a crazy propaganda budget. Every other gaming journalist is praising her for ruining the brand right now.
@Romudeth Exclusives are the worst. I haven’t missed a Gears of War game in 20 years, but I’ll be skipping this one for sure. Don’t even play it on Game Pass. Let their little exclusivity experiment flop before it ruins @XBOX.
