Xbox really just fired over 3 thousand ppl and sold off at least 4 of their 1st party studios, and it's still not as bad as that shit PlayStation announced last week. What a world.
Amazing how the people in charge of the video game industry pivoted their entire business strategy around the pandemic instead of viewing it as a temporary short-term era.
It was delusional to believe that such rapid growth would continue after life returned to normal.
343 studios have controlled the Halo IP for 16 years.
In that time, they released ONE complete product in Halo 4.
They broke all the Bungie games in the MCC for half a decade.
Halo 5 was literally a gambling simulator that took years to finish that also had a story so bad (Evil Cortana) that the narrative has genuinely been ruined by it long term.
Halo Infinite has THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS of microtransactions in it, the campaign wasn't functionality finished until about a year later, and the multiplayer was genuinely unfinished for 3 years post launch.
Campaign Evolved is literally relying on Bungie leftovers to launch half of a 25 year old product.
Halo deserves a studio that doesn't hate the IP.
Seth's an odd creature because he's actually a kinda storied guy and has his fingers on a lot of projects some of them even pretty good, seems to have a wide range of interests but the the mic lands in front of him and its diatribes about weed
It's hard to describe how insane it was having some americans set up an "autonomous zone" and then summarily executing 2 black teenagers while all the anarchists on twitter cheered and covered up the crime.
The point that made me stop going to McDonalds is when I checked and seen a meal from there was 2$ less than a meal from Fuddruckers.
Now Fast Food is getting more expensive than Fast Casual and even sit downs the question is why go to them at all?
@tonestirade The industry itself wouldn't exist without capitalism lmfao studios are being shut down because of foolish expansion from the covid boom + bad ROI.
Sony is doing this because they think people will just give in and pay for it. We won't know if they're right until PS6 launches.
I think people need to understand that the united States of America is still one of the biggest achievements that will probably never be replicated in Human History ever again, considering the people who made the constitution said "Yeah in 20 years this shit is falling apart."
Its interesting the difference between these two disasters though;
Xbox was simply stupid, they thought they knew what gamers wanted, pushed features & restrictions they thought people desired -or- wouldn't be bothered by.
Playstations is 100% coated in greed, with manipulation of data and abusing their current position of having most of the hard-core console market.
This right here is the perfect encapsulation of why the train of thought embraced by Abdul, Zohran, and Hasan is totally disingenuous.
They say they're against antisemitism, but only a version of antisemitism they've defined themselves, one entirely separated from reality.
Their definition completely bifurcates Israel from Jews, as if the two have zero connection. It's the equivalent of saying you're fine with Catholics but wouldn't mind if the Illuminati nuked the Vatican.
The vast majority of Jews support Israel's continued existence as a Jewish state, and these three have done a lot to reinforce why. Political Zionism was correct in its early assumption that Jews needed a place to go to avoid exactly the scenario now unfolding because of what these people espouse.
They keep saying they're "against antisemitism," but it's a leftist definition of antisemitism that only they and their tokens agree on. They dismiss anyone who believe differently while using those same tokens as both sword and shield. At this point, it's basically a trope.
