You dont need to remind us to sympathize with the people you laid off, Phil. Thats the whole reason why your PR is bad right now.
So from what I gather, most of these studios were doing fine before they were bought out and now they are all starting over from scratch cause any proprietary stuff they had is owned by Microsoft.
Some of them were still doing fine, just not triple the profits well.
In the end their name, their achievements and their reputation has been transferred, and nothing else. I feel they (the studios' teams) have been made use of to then deceive people who trust the names.
That is a whole lot of talk about how much Xbox cares about its people and a whole lot of handwaving about why Xbox needed to decide to sacrifice its people in great swaths.
ensures we can continue to do shows like the one we just did.
Doing shows, not creating games /s(?)
Well, I don't think they're putting up a very good show right now.
“It’s not about PR, it’s about those teams… I have to run a sustainable business so they’re on their own because I say so.”
tl;dr: it is what it is
I'm not sure I'd call buying up and burning other companies like furniture in a fireplace 'sustainable'.
"look, Activision wasn't cheap. We've gotta keep the lights on here"
I'm sure you're building the best business you can.
From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!
