Soooooo they’ve crippled their game making divisions with layoffs that obliterated employee morale so that they had more money to throw at AI, and now they’re demanding that this same section of the company offset even more of their AI costs because it’s one of the few parts of the company that actually makes money?
Reminds me of how Hasbro is milking WotC for all they’re worth while destroying faith in the brand.
makes me wonder if the acquisitions were just a win/win strategy - acquire all these studios, milk them with unreasonable demands, cut the workforces constantly, then close up the studio but keep all the ip.
It’s also going to result in the destruction of the Xbox brand though. Whatever they release, no one’s going to buy it. Anyone who’s smart already releases on multiple platforms if they release for Xbox, and this will only exacerbate the issue.
