The best thing a company can do now a days if cut the fat. By their own admission, 50% of all employees only complete about an hour of actual work per day. Work from home has enabled lazy people to leech off the company for years.
X proved that you can layoff huge swaths of workers with no loss of efficiency. The only downside is having empty office space you're still paying rent on. (air conditioning is expensive too)

I really don't understand why they bought all these studios if they were going to be so short sighted. They could have payed substantially less for exclusivity deals on upcoming games or just outright funded games for their systems. I always thought their long term goal for acquiring these studios was to transition from consoles to a platform/distributor but I honestly have no fucking idea what their game plan is now.

Its been rumored for a while, ms wanted out of xbox. She was brought in to get them out

>>742291449
She literally is potentially saving Xbox with this though. All of these SHIT studios produced fucking NOTHING. All of them need to be euthanized. There's probably just not a useful follow-up plan though.
I know it would just be a shameless blackwomanTROON game in current year with current studio, but where is something like State of Decay 3 after so long? Will most consumers even remember it as a brand? Especially the important young ones who you need to get into the setting? How on earth can you even hope to break even on that after so long with such a dwindling fan base (and the zombie game trend is mostly "gone" now too)? And how many other games/studios are like this? Not to mention all the bombs that have already come out.
What Xbox needs to do is form relationships with a whole new generation of studios. Create opportunities and support for "new" studios with promising looking games, helping to open doors and make it easy to get/connect with equipment, technical expertise and financing. Bring them onto Xbox instead of the inevitable steam release. Attempt to curate the high level of indie and AA releases on something like Steam and bring certain games over for a select type of optimized experience on the Xbox instead. It's much easier to find a potential good AA game and help bring it over the finish line as a AA+ or -AAA by giving motivated devs some slack on the feature creep leash.
They have completely FAILED at being Nintendo and having an inhouse "farm to table" experience. Euthanizing the diseased herd is a mercy killing at this point. Make it "easy" for consumers and devs to find each other in the historic specific (but honestly pretty broad) Xbox market instead. Even 2 console generations ago people "knew" what getting an Xbox meant in terms of game focus and community. Just make your games interesting for enough of a market demographic.
Xbox will of course do nothing like this and instead die.

Wokechud screeching aside, Double Fine is retarded, they have spent years making non profitable niche games. Way too many studios just do not release enough stuff, also it seems studios have a habit of just internally starting over, which doesn't really happen in other industries. Imagine if halfway through filming Interstellar, Nolan went "eh, im not feeling it, we are recasting and starting over from pre production", the studio would tell him to go fuck himself. And yet how much have we heard "yeah they threw 2 years of work to start over"

I agree with this, she was brought to close shit pure and simple. By this time next year MS will either completely closed the xbox division or sell it (maybe to sega, time is a flat circle). MS sees xbox simply as a problem wighting them down, not as an asset.

This implies she wasn't aware this would happen, she got the job because she's young and relatively good looking to "soften" the blow, probably some nepobaby who's dad got her the job to make it look good on her resume, she definitely knows she's just damage control

>>742295012
They paid billions for the studios they're shutting? Not even close. They're almost all indie studios with no or very few but also irrelevant ip.

Only thing left is to cancel GamePass altogether and XBOX can try again from scratch, actually making games and actually trying to sell them

>>742295163
Have smaller studios that produce AA games and hopefully those studios can produce some GOOD games for once and then they can slowly build from there. Quality not Quantity.

Why are you mad they're hiring jeets? That's going to be absolutely kino entertainment. Have you seen Indian attempts at "games"? They're hilarious. And Xbox didn't make anything you cared about at this point anyways.

There is going to be so much to shitpost about. I personally loved and thought SAARos was hilarious, and that was just with Indians as a topic. Things like the newest Prince of Persia are going to be released now. To poor little consumers. I think they'll even manage to make a game that bricks Xboxes, in-house.

A lot of in-house Xbox studios were just churning out slop for Gamepass. There's no incentive to innovate or try something new when you know Daddy Microsoft will pay you no matter what you make. Trimming them down is the right move.

>>742295163
I don't think it really can be saved. Xbox is kind of a poison brand at this point. Only peak autisms believe they're gonna shut the whole division down within a year, though. They're gonna dump some of the money saved from shitcanning studios back into proven sellers (I would imagine Bethesda will be getting a good chunk of it to ramp up production on TES and Fallout projects along with a deadline year and a veiled threat), they're gonna release whatever the next hardware is, and that's gonna be it. If it's not turning a profit by then, they'll probably either sell the whole brand or piecemeal some of the IP. Either way they'll be around a few more years.

Cod still is yearly. It just alternates between the studios. Sledgehammer, infinity ward and treyarch lead the development and studios like raven act as assistant studios and make the campaigns sometimes while the main studio focuses on multiplayer. Overall there's like 6 or 7 studios who make Cod every year.

>>742294928
Yeah, except the problem here is that everyone rightfully saw one thing coming. Microslop CEO takes out Phil to hire another one of his own. Through decisions that were already being made before she took that position, everything happens when she takes over that makes her look better. Then when enough of the good favor is seemingly there, they enact the rest of the plan which is to start gutting the money sink, and allowing it to turn into a vehicle for more of his own kind to join in every so often. Xbox will stop hemorrhaging money in favor of pretending the core teams and contract workers won't be incompetent Indians making worse slop for less. Until they just completely axe that division altogether.

Black ops 7 isn't even talked about on social media at all but its also a top 2 most played game on both consoles so cod as a franchise is still massive. Modern warfare 4 will likely do record breaking numbers this year because it's basically the sequel to modern warfare 2019 that fans have been asking for since then. Although GTA could put a dent in that but I doubt it. Fifa, cod and gta are too ingrained culturally to die off any time soon. And they're full priced games not even f2p.

Didn't they say that they are going to more or less close the brand a year ago or so? Why are people surprised they are doing what the promised?

>>742291449
Xbox was beyond saving though. It was always last place, even when it was the dudebro console.

The people that made the IPs good have long since left Microsoft and its subsidiaries, whether it was by layoffs or by resigning/retiring. Even if a non-woke dev team worked on these games, the magic that made these IPs what they were is gone.

Shutting down bloated incompetent and wastefull studios is saving Xbox

>>742298946

Well, it is this or abandoning it forever like ea does. I think Xbox won't just accept the losses with so many good ips in their hands, if they do, they will just close too. Even if they just straight copy the good old game with updated graphics and gameplay, it will still sell buns, resident evil remakes are proof of that.

>>742291449
How is this blatant self shilling of indian bluecheck xshitter accounts not an instant, public, sitewide and permanent ban?

>>742299243
Anything under the Activision Blizzard label is definitely going to be kept alive, as is Minecraft and Forza since they make money hand over fist with those games. Doom and other id titles along with most Bethesda IPs will survive in one form or another, but everything else is either up in the air or outright dead.

>>742299492
Forza's already dead :(

Because white people are qualified

Have you feminist conspiracy freaks ever considered why it needs to be a woman? A company getting new management and quickly going to shit is an incredibly common occurrence, men get blamed for it all the time.
I'm assuming you're unwilling to admit your victim complex, which makes the 'its just sexism!!!!' excuse a lot more convenient?

NO piece of software should take more than 3 years to make.
In any other sector of the software industry, you'd be laughed out of the room. idk why vidya execs have tolerated it thus far. They must be brow beaten by something.

>>742301573
I think he's still at Obsidian. I was watching one of those chud Youtuber channels who mentioned a person he knows at Obsidian said 'Yeah, he's even a huge asshole in real life,' so he just sounds like a massive dickhead all around.

>In any other sector of the software industry, you'd be laughed out of the room

>>742301929
I'd kind of feel bad for those at Obsidian, but looks like most of the people who founded it and made the good games are gone. Anyone who is left is silent about all the controversy.

>>742302095
I honestly can't think of any major western dev studio that isn't a skinwalker at this point. They've all been hollowed out. Except Valve, I guess? But they don't make games anymore.

>>742302095
You can tell the founders and former big names hate the current staff. After the art director fired off about hiring only minorities, Chris Avellone directly encouraged discrimination suits by rejected candidates.

>>742302308
>Chris Avellone

He seems like a cool guy. He's had constant work on big games since the 90s.

She's carving out the cancer that has been rotting Xbox for years. If studios aren't releasing banger games and are just sucking up gamepass bucks they're part of the problem. Make good games and you get to keep your job, it's not a hard concept.

>>742291449
trimming the fat is based actually

>>742301117
They should gut everyone at Obsidian except the people working on Grounded 2, just to put the fear of god in them. Then a year after the game is out and all the extra updates are added, fire those people too. Obsidian needs to die.

so when are the layoffs getting announced? im getting bored

>>742291449
Never understood why conglomerates like this fire people. Can't you just redirect them to something more productive? Don't the managers know what makes money?

>>742303976
>Can't you just redirect them to something more productive
They do that, and then the redirected project fails also.
What might we take away from that?

>>742293580
Cutting your losses is not short sighted. Its rectifying your poor decisions in a healthy manner. Better than coping and dialating.

>>742303976
The more productive thing may not require more people to be more productive.

>>742303767
Xbox is not in a position to be handing out multi million dollars, to neither man nor woman. If they had hired a man, he would not receive such a bonus which means putting a woman in charge hasn't saved them from that.
Try again.

>>742291449
The current Microsoft CEO doesn't give a shit about Xbox. He just wants to cut unprofitable divisions so that his AI projects have less of a chance of causing Microsoft to completely implode.

Imagine if the industry had foresight that went further than a year or two into the future and had spent the past 15 years nurturing talent and growing fan goodwill instead of aggressively hollowing themselves out for ESG money and social points with the most vapid, narcissistic people who've ever existed. Not only would many of these studios still be independent, but they'd be financial assets rather than financial liabilities.

They made a big mistake giving woke devs autonomy, but again its on them to have made woke activist games that sold nothing and made losses with the money of the company, the company can fairly fire them. People seething at the decision are biased and not in fact morally right, they made a great loss. They aren't being let off for no reason out of nothing.

Replacing talent with DEI hires is like replacing wood with termites. Creating a bunch of divisions and hiring a bunch of consultants who's only job is to make things worse for the natural customer is liking flooding the building with water.

i bet she's going studio over studio asking two questions:
>What are you been working on for the last 3-4 years?

if the answer implies for them to keep working for a year or two they for sure will get axed because think about how many games have been released in the last 5 years with budget over 200 million and sold nothing, even if the game needs just a year to be finished (if they tell the truth), keeping the payments for all those faggots means even more money loss, that's why any cancellation news sounds like stupidity or she's sinking xbox, but no, she's just sending a message to all studios and trimming fat to avoid more loss
