I'm reading all these posts literally simping for Microsoft's Asha Sharma.
Some praise her 'tremendous business smarts'.
Others say she 'Saved Kojima and humiliated Sony."
Way too early to call it a victory.
My take? Asha won't be around Xbox before the next Halo releases.
@YorchTorchGames Exactly, she was put to clean house, I think Matt Booty would be left in her place to run the gaming division Xbox will no longer be a thing everything will be ABK
Nintendo was founded 137 years ago today on September 23, 1889!
It started as a playing-card company and is now one of the biggest video game companies in the world
@XBOXTIMDOG Why would Activision and MS agree for exclusives when their own Xbox platform is dead? That’s ridiculous exclusivity is out the window, ABK has always been a multiplatform publisher and they have continued being one even under MS ownership
@GamertagHidden@TRIPSTER0 When MS Xbox bought Halo it was just a studio not a publisher, so ofc the studio became a Xbox first party studio while ABK is a massive publisher with many studios under it got bought by MS it has nothing todo with Xbox they are both different departments and yes MS own it
@GamertagHidden@TRIPSTER0 Yeah but owning doesn’t make it Xbox, this are very different departments/publishers, when have you seen CoD intro with an Xbox logo 🤨 never because is all Activision
Shift Up faced repeated rejections from investors during Stellar Blade’s development, with some even suggesting the studio abandon the project.
At one point, the company reportedly had enough money for only 3 months of salaries.
The turning point came when former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida saw an early prototype and pushed for a partnership with Sony.
Now, Shift Up is developing the sequel, Stellar Blade: BLOOD RAIN.
