This happened. Worth the read just for this:
“And now we have Asha Sharma saying that she hopes for Xbox to “entertain more than a billion people each day” while cracking open the bones of its studios and sucking out the marrow. These are the people who have been chosen to shepherd this damaged industry into some kind of glorious future. But they’re in charge right now, and look where we are.”
Exec being shown dev gameplay of Halo 4: “Where’s the button that lets customers connect their bank accounts so I can drain them?”
I won’t even let my xbox online anymore. Afraid the next update will fuck it up.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how Sony discontinuing Playstation discs could have been a generational fumble, and all M$ would need to do to capture it is to confirm that the next Xbox will still have a disc drive. Sort of an uno reverse of what happened with the Xbox One launch. The fact that Microsoft hasn’t jumped on this opportunity is a smoking gun for their incompetence.
I 100% agree.
gaming execs are regular execs. They should follow that ubisoft founder’s example.
