Compulsion Games alienated their core team when they brought on SBI to consult on South of Midnight.

I had multiple former team members inform me of swaps to the main character and a culture of fear.

They used to be a good studio, but DEI ruined them. Now they are gone.

Ninja Theory is the latest studio to get the dreaded “Xbox” call.

They, along with Compulsion, are being given a narrow window of time to find buyers or new investors.

In today’s market, that is going to be almost impossible.

All the Asian funding for games has dried up, because they figured out they could make their own games and do it better.

And Asian money was the biggest investment vehicle in games.

Another Chud Victory!

The failed game, South of Midnight, maxed out on SteamDB with only 1438 concurrent players, with estimated sales of ~3 million dollars, far below development costs (30-90 million estimated).

It was another game created for the DEI checklist instead of the core gaming audience. For that, the game was widely panned for being "woke" causing the massive commercial failure of the product.

The game was also another one of those "playable movies" with a poorly written story, bad gameplay mechanics, and skippable fights. Even from a base design perspective, it was not made for gamers.

Go woke, go broke!

Xbox's next layoffs.

There are good reasons to suspect that Blizzard might be hit in this year's round of Xbox layoffs:

- The deal cost $69 Billion as part of Activision/Blizzard. (As comparison, MS bought all of Nokia for 7.6B).

- When asked about the acquisition, she hedged "..it's hard to say how to think about these decisions."

- They are still carrying intangibles for this on their books, for 25 years. It costs them 3B a year in amortization expense.

- Blizzard shipped Diablo 4 in 2023. There were no major Blizzard announcements at the XBOX show, which was odd.

- Blizzard is not on the list of the doubling down of investments rumored.

- Xbox could save a lot of accounting money if they wrote down the value of Blizzard via impairment, the same way Sony saved themselves from the disastrous 3.6B dollar Bungie acquisition.

Carrying 3B a year in accounting deadweight is weighing down profits for the whole division, which Asha said was only 3%. If they did layoffs and impairment to write down the value of the studio, they could instantly double their profit margin. The could keep the studio, trim it way back, and write down the rest.

A CEO looking at this would seriously consider it when XBOX is on it's last legs as it stands today.

Rumor: a Microsoft estaria estudando adicionar opções de "Compre Agora, Pague Depois" à Xbox Store.

Segundo informações encontradas por dataminers, a funcionalidade permitiria parcelar compras de jogos e conteúdos digitais diretamente pela loja. A Microsoft ainda não confirmou oficialmente o recurso.

id Software no longer appears in the Zenimax pulldown for job positions. Clicking the job link from id Software just takes you to an empty filter.

The studio is not listed in the pulldown.

This is very concerning. DOOM The Dark Ages did not perform as well as expected.

Let's hope it's nothing to worry about.

[Grummz @Grummz]

Mark Gordon, head of Treyarch, is retiring today.

The timing comes on the heels of:

- XBOX head of studios departing today
- XBOX Chief of Staff leaving today
- Compulsion Studios shuttering today.

The XBOX re-org train is already hitting very hard. This retirement timing sure seems odd.

Were we wrong about her?
