Game developers need to PAY Microsoft what they are fucking WORTH.https://archive.is/PitQp
>>724074126Holly Christ, burn that garbage with a flamethrower. Fuck you op.
>>724074126I dont have the photo but that looks like the ugly niglet that survived cancer that trump gave honorary police status.
>>724074126This will be the move that saves Xbox.
>>724074126That mutant nasty BITCH fucking killed xbox. Woke trans nigger mutant fucks, just fuck off.
>>724074126OP, the reason why MS can't generate profit is in the image. Outside of Forza Horizon 5 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 they have failed each and every of their releases.Even MSFS 2024 is still a buggy piece of shit when compared to the original.
>>724074126Yes, surely raising the prices on all of your products that already don't sell and alienating every developer and publisher is the way to save your company.
>we are not selling>oh i know, i'm gonna increase the price to make more profit from the non exitent sales lmao!your brain on capitalism
Nobody's buying Xbox dev kits. This is just them trying to make a profit on the remaining stock before they officially pull the plug
Its very obvious they are killing the brand on purpose so MS can shut down xbox and give the reason that its a dead brand or something to the shareholders.
>>724074126damn she looks ugly
>>724075539I was so hyped for flight sim 2024, specifically for the helicopter stuff. But when it came out it was NOTHING like they advertised, lol. Gaming in general is dead.
>>724075679Please understand, line must go up.
>>724074126They used to gift them to poor indie shitters but they still went to ps5 so they decided to change strategies
>>724074126people still buy games developed/owned by microsoft?
>>724074126lol
>>724078598Xbox used to have console indie gaming on lock during gen 7 with the Xbox Arcade and ID@Xbox or whatever it was calledmThen they decided to tell them all to go fuck themselves, so indie devs flocked to Steam.
>>724074126The dev kit? Also an Xbox.
>>724074126>Microsoft bumps prices because of reasons>no one else does itI guess tariffs only hit Microsoft huh? :<
>>724074126I forgot this game was a thing
>gp not reaching the expected user base numbers>"let's increase the price!">console not selling>"let's increase its price">devs already refusing to release their games on Xbox due to budget and low financial returns due to no game pass users and low console sales>"let's increase the fucking price for our dev kits and make it a bigger financial burden for anyone that isn't EA or Ubisoft"What you call this type of management?
>>724082690Might as well forget that game exists. It will probably get canceled next year.
>>724082974Reply for this >>724082534
>>724082534So did Microsoft.
>>724082690It's called "accountability margin" and Amy Hood, CFO at Microsoft is saying 30% profit margin needs to be the goal across the board which directly impacted Xbox. Microsoft got tired of not making money, so their tightening the belt.
>>724079968It still hurts. Atleast Indie games on the 360 got promoted and had free trials and things that got them popular. I can't imagine how many good indie games on Steam are just pushed to the back and no one knows them.
>>724084194And how will this make any money for Microsoft?You make money by providing a strategy that will make your product desirable.Increasing the prices of a struggling brand and increasing the financial burden for those who create games for a system that gives less and less benefits for those who support it, doesn't feel like a sharp way of doing things.People will just straight up stop buying Xbox products and devs will just straight up stop developing for it.
>>724074126Simply just don't develop for Xbox, Steam, Switch 2, and PS5 exist
>>724074126>(((macroeconomic developments)))I like this one
>>724082690Russian
>>724082690Short term money squeezing because the world beyond next financial quarter is not real.
>>724085729They are just killing off the brand.Success comes from consumer trust and desirability. You will stop selling cause no one wants your product. Its not popular and it's more expensive.And devs will just stop developing for it cause they won't get the financial return for the money required to port cause the game won't sell and devs kits are too expensive. MS is a gazillion dollar worth corp, and they can't find proper financial and market advisors with all that money and name.
