I hope everyone who plays Call of Duty next year on Game Pass takes a moment of silence for the ~2000 people that had to lose their jobs to make it possible.

I'm sorry, my next post will be about your balls getting blown off to better accomodate your specific needs.
Supposedly the whole Fall Guys team at Mediatonic, who Epic just acquired, were let go. Including the game director.
Embrace, extend, extinguish. That's MS's strategy, by their own words.
It's honestly hard to look at and one of the reasons I stopped going years ago (one of the guys' repeated transphobic social media posts was the other.)
The lolbugthesda meme exists because it's true. There aren't many games I've had to completely start over because of a game breaking glitch in a side quest, but that was Skyrim and the infamous thieves guild glitch.
They're good games but pretending there are no bugs, either funny cosmetic ones or serious progress blocking ones, helps no one.

For me, it will always be Link in Soul Calibur II. Absolutely iconic.
As they continue to spend billions buying publishers and developers to shore up their Game Pass offerings, expect prices to go up and the deals to get worse.
That’s a real bummer, especially as I ended up really liking Callisto. I hope everyone lands on their feet.
I thought some people would think it was interesting. I'm sorry if you weren't one of those people and I hope you had a good day.

The whole piece is worth a read but to me this paragraph sums it all up:
"Who even knows what would please these people? They say they're focusing their resources on bigger games, then they say they need smaller games. They say they love your games, then they shut your studio down. They make more money than they've ever made before, then they cut costs repeatedly, drastically, and cruelly. They buy more studios than they can manage, so the answer is not to use that aforementioned money to hire more (or perhaps better) managers, but to have fewer studios so management's job can be easier."
