What if the permanent underclass is just the friends we made along the way

What's about to happen at Microsoft / Xbox:
Just the predictable result of $70B spent on ONE acquisition: Activision Blizzard.

To give you some perspective, here are some games lifetime revenue:

The entire Call of Duty franchise > $35B
GTAV > $10B (with 230 million copies)
WoW > $12.8 billion
Diablo III > $2 billion
Overwatch > $1 billion

This means Xbox now needs many legendary games & entire franchises of this caliber, sold for +15 years, just to be even.

That's how hard it's going to be to turn such an acquisition into something profitable for Microsoft. That was the insanity of this deal.

Activision Blizzard sure might bring $2B to $3B of annual operating profit to Xbox, but that is still 25 to 35 years just to pay back.

Absolutely no way that this acquisition beat what $70B could have done elsewhere, especially at the dawn of AI (and Microsoft, like Apple, missed the train, failing to develop their own competitive frontier model).

So yes, party is over, now is the time for correction. It's going to be absolutely savage & devastating for the industry, for talents, for studios, AND for gamers. It's going to break trust between everybody. And it was entirely predictable.

What we see right now is why I rejected every deal since 2020, when COVID brought a sudden massive injection of cash in the gaming industry. I was certain it was poisoned money & would end up incredibly costly for studios & founders who would drink the fountain.

Many of my industry friends lost their studios, their IPs, and their teams, forever. I thought they were wiser by moving their business faster than me, but turns out it was insanely dangerous as I predicted & they now live with the kind of creative scar that I don't think I could recover from.

I still own my studio & my IP. And I will make sure to keep it that way, long after The Last Night is in your hands.

My path is longer, but ultimately sovereignty & restrain will put us in a much stronger position, will ensure we can make the absolute best games without having to convince the suits, will allow us to capture the upside ourselves to fund our next games, all while minimizing the risk of losing our life's work.
