You're reading too much into it friend, It has nothing to do with skin color but more about hiring based on somebody's politics rather than skill. In my experience based people tend to be more hard working and more skilled than woke people; they also complain a lot less. Remember that woman who worked at Insomniac who said Rivet was gay and went around the office screaming "lombax titties" because she felt the character design was too feminine. The more of those people you have on your team the less chance you have of putting out a good game. They are counter-productive and will care more about promoting an agenda than making a quality game.
Not at all comparable since Anthem was actually a good game at its core. The gameplay was very solid and fun, the problem was there was not much built around that gameplay in terms of story content and world-building. If you want to compare it to BioWare then compare it with BioWare Montreal's Mass Effect Andromeda, that's a far more accurate comparison.
I literally said it should of been a dpuble A budget game and you said they dont make money qnd ive literally just posted double A games that have made profit
This is a very interesting point. The people who decide to go into the gaming industry do so because they are PASSIONATE about the medium.
They are. The diference is they big studios can aford making a flop as they have multiple teams working on 2 or more projects, but by the end of the gen, i bet my left nut that a couple of the smaller studios chasing gaas will be dead.
Anthem and Redfall are always online. They both are coop focus and one day when the powers that be turn off the servers both can finally be forgetten to time. Whilst ME Andromeda can still be played 20 years from now.
You’ve put the cart before the horse.
I would have thought that would be the FIRST order of business when Xbox bought them? You know, finding out all the liabilities and dirty laundry? If they haven't done it yet they better start soon.
No goal posts were moved. Unless you can point out from where exactly I moved them from?
how many OG project dark people are still in Rare?
we are talking about how a publisher like bethesda can't be sustained with AA games.
The fps guys famously left to set up Free Radical to make TimeSplitters, back in the day. It no doubt affected Perfect Dark Zero, and people at the time were amazed by the glacial five-year wait for a sequel. Now, only five years, such rapid turn around.
and that is what i am saying. You cannot ignore Bethesda in this context, because they are the publisher, they are paying for the development and marketing.
The difference is Sony is buying talent and increasing salaries upon acquiring studios to maintain that talent.
The question is will the revenue lost from game sales outstrip the gains in GamePass? If Microsoft aren’t selling enough consoles then GamePass can’t grow quicker than competitors, and unlike competitors they’ll be putting games that cost hundreds of million to develop straight into GamePass, hitting the games revenue.
Yea owning the ip is one thing but having devopers with talent and vision to create a great game is way more valuable imo.
And this is exactly why I'm so strongly opposed to the MS/Activision deal. They've already bought a ton of other studios/publishers and fucked all of them up royally. It's like, they already own a shit ton of IPs, many of which were successful in the 360 era. How about you try to make use of those first, before going out and buying other shit?
This is why Sony and Nintendo’s approaches work - they’ve always invested in talent. A large part of Bungie’s price was talent retention. Microsoft have bought a lot of IP but the talent churn is something else.

If compelling games come out, consoles will be sold. To play these games, either retail sales go up or Gamepass subscriptions go up. You can’t have it both ways where games are available and both struggle.
Source = "Sony"
Sony will pay Bungie employee-shareholders over $1 billion to keep working at company
If you stay, you get more pay.
Blue hair girl "artist":It’s when you go full Grove Street Games
Fixed.Blue hair girl = always ugly:
Bizarre Creations was last owned by Activision in their final 5 years. MS closes many studios. But Sony does too.
It wasn't an Activision studio until Microsoft stopped working with them because they didn't want PGR competing against Forza.

The problem is the people were leaving during development, which contributed to its failure.
is this rhetoric?
