Except they are building long term with the 2018 studios. The problem is people whine when things take time.It requires a real, long term effort and talent...not just throwing around money at a problem.

It had been three generations already and with a fourth one well on its way. They HAD time. The issue is that Xbox never had to succeed because they get propped up with external money. Xbox is like a Soviet era division tasked with doing something and given goals to reach, but gets no reward for succeeding and no punishment for failing. There was no desire for excellence because they can't fail. They didn't deliver the games because there was no consequences for sitting on their asses all day.Except they are building long term with the 2018 studios.

Many studios really before 2018 they had 5 and 1 was dedicated to minecraft. So 4 single team studios is hardly lots. I say turn 10, minecraft studio and the coalition are hardly just collecting a paycheck.It had been three generations already and with a fourth one well on its way. They HAD time.

There are many game studios in Xbox, and most people never cared that they don't produce anything. All they say is "here are the NEW studios!", nevermind the old ones are still around collecting paychecks.
Xbox is a Zombie Division, it can't live if it can't fail.
Which part of that is bad?gamepass..
Let’s invest 200m on the new gears of war and not sell a single copy and put it straight into gamepass.
It it wasn't for the court cases, Xbox fans would still be arguing that everything is fine and that Xbox is doing great. The fact is Xbox had been in denial the entire 3.5 generations and the fans help the illusion going.They’re trying. People forget what piss poor shape their studios were in during the last part of last generation, and it wasn’t until Phil started reporting directly to Nutella that things started to turn around.

Until this year, many Xbox customers would still tell you there is nothing to turn around. That Xbox is 2nd to Sony and not third. That everything was going according to plan and nothing needs fixing.
Well guess what, you can't fix a problem until you admit you had one.
You either have a lack of money or a lack of talent. Xbox has plenty of money so the problem is talent. And i don't mean the coders, I mean the managers. Yes, it is hard, but if you suck you will fail. Just as Sega had failed. And what caused Xbox to fail is stil part of Xbox so it can't stop failing no matter how many studios and publishers they buy.Because if it was so easy to make games like sony and Nintendo everyone will be doing it. It's not like they're not trying look at all the money dumped in halo infinite along with whatever mess the initiative has become.
Criticize NOW. I don't see them in 2022 or earlier.That’s a cool twitter argument you have there but what does it have to do with anything I said or this community we have here? I don’t care about make believe narratives mindless fanboys make elsewhere. We have plenty of Xbox users here who criticize Microsoft.

So you think they are spending money hiring/buying everything except good managers?You either have a lack of money or a lack of talent. Xbox has plenty of money so the problem is talent.

Well Coalition and Turn 10 and Playground are good. 343i is shit. Hopefully they do well with other studios (ie Ninja Theory) since acquisition.Except they are building long term with the 2018 studios. The problem is people whine when things take time.
