@kubrickmagic@milenadraws People not buying the game because of the Disco/Kurvitz situation is why there were lay offs…
It’s one thing to try and spite the reptilian owners, but they will end up fine, while the staff, normal, hardworking people, are the ones who suffer, which is exactly what’s happened.
@BadTakeEnjoyer Sadly, this game was doomed to fail after the Disco situation. People in droves constantly stated they would pirate it to spite ZA/UM leadership. Alas, the only victims in consequence of this was always going to be staff: ordinary, hard workers who now find themselves unemployed.
@Iamyouefather@hawkdeltaX30@JamiesAct That depends on how aggressive they want to be, i.e. short term pain, long term gain. They could announce that all future instalments in Call of Duty, Fallout, The Elder Scrolls and everything else, will be exclusive to Xbox. This could drive people away from PlayStation to Xbox.
@Iamyouefather@JamiesAct No… but they could stop updates/content for it, and any new game/spinoffs made Xbox exclusives, which might drive owners over to Xbox.
@a_space_alien@NextGenPlayer Either way, Bethesda have been stuck in the past for a very long time. Fallout 4 felt dated, wasn’t an RPG, and didn’t really feel like Fallout; Starfield too, particularly in regard to how dated it was on arrival. Is it management, the Creation engine, or something else?
@boreishY@jcampanozzi87@PixelRumors If Game Pass, a cheaper entry point for hardware, and high-profile acquisitions couldn’t do it, I don’t think anything will at this point, sadly. Things would be different if they stopped PC ports, however.
@scarafray@shinobi602 They probably don’t see DOOM or Quake as a big franchise? Who knows. Even if they say they do, I wouldn’t trust anything they say to the public anymore.
@JoshuaDCFCPerry@game_collection “For Switch 2 games, the ratio of Game-Key Cards (which requires downloading the game data) to cartridges containing the full game heavily skews toward Game-Key Cards.”
That’s what I meant. Either way, it’s clear that Nintendo will soon follow suit. It’s inevitable.
