The Game Business:

Xbox divided over its future, and do people even buy physical PlayStation games?

Today, the mood is different. Xbox is looking to reallocate where it spends money. The company wants to invest in its big franchises, and to do that, it needs to cut from elsewhere. Studios such as Compulsion, Ninja Theory, Double Fine, Obsidian, Undead Labs and others are deep in negotiation with Microsoft to avoid closure. The impact of this will likely reverberate across the business.

I love Obsidian for past games, but they really missed with Avowed and TOWs1/2. Not even sure if it's the same team as yore anymore. Still, I hope they make it.

Just don't fucking touch Arkane, Microsoft. Literally all I ask.

Mild success.

They should have been working on NV2.

And to think that a lot of people celebrated all those Microsoft purchases and we so happy to see Sony disappear... only to ended up seeing Xbox turning into a meme and Sony closely following those footsteps...

POE3 or GTFO.
