it begins
What would happen if a nepo poojeta who has never played video games and is totally out of touch with anything but corporate discksucking Linkedin circlejerks runs a video game company?Let's find out
>>741154794All 3 of their games weren't even good though. South Of Midnight was absolute shit.
>>741155249You defending Compulsion, who took 6 years to release South of Midnight like they're some kind of Rockstar-tier studio? Really?
I only play chinese games
>>741155454No I'm not actually, this seems to be a case of the Waffles-Pancakes fallacy
>>741155665This isn't even close to that. She took over a division that was run by drooling retards from top to bottom and is trimming Spencer's retarded little pet projects. Asha could very well end up being just as much of a drooling retard as Phil, but cutting Compulsion is one of the few smart things she can do. They provided zero value while leeching so much money.
>>741154794>le smirking negroim so fatigued. good riddance
>>741155820The comparison is between me saying I don't like the nepo poojeta, and you replying with "so you like Compulsion?"
>>741154794>Peabody-Award-Winningwho
>>741155454Delayed games become good, rushed games are always bad
They're shuttering it down
>>741154794But how can that happen! I didn’t do anything!
The exodus is upon us. Blood will be shed.*grabs popcorn*
>>741154794It's clear that Asha is trying to actually turn Xbox into THE console again, but honestly, it's probably too late. They lost the last console war so badly that they stopped trying and started doing the most buttfuck retarded shit imaginable. Exclusives are key, and right now, all those "exclusives" are on PC or currently in the works, but it'll take years before they actually come out.Eventually, she'll give up and get removed.
>>741154794I barely heard of any of their games and they all look like complete shit
I didnt know dogs gave awards
>>741156028>Delayed games become goodPrime 4>rushed games are always badPrime 2Eat shit, Miyamoto.
>>741154794>whitey bad!Can't say they didn't deserve it
>>741155509No that's to close minded, just check out Asian games theres like a whole continent that isnt infected
>>741154794>make a game not for gamers>your studio closesWow!!!!!!!!
>>741155665It's called a false dichotomy you stupid nigger
>>741154794>South of MidnightLITERALLY who?
>>741154794>Poo on foundational black violenceSad to see
>>741155249She knows to shut down shit studios.
>>741154794uh oh stinky
>>741154794>woke studio close>woke devs and writers that brought the studio to its closure in the first place get immediately hired into another studio and proceed to make more woke games with the studios iosThis is happening by quite a lot, its not a problem that will be solved soon after all
>>741154794I cannot remember the last game from xbox or studio owned by xbox in recent years that I genuinely wanted to play. Can't even name any besides Halo and Gears of War flops, but that's only because I played on xbox 360.
>>741156865>This fictional child character agrees with my political opinionscringe and low testosterone
Seemed like something that could be a tv show or movie, not so much great as a game.
>>741155454He didn't defend anything, Asha is spending 400m on Gears E Day. All we will get is more Halo, Forza, Gears, and Bethesda open world slop. No one cared about some artsy black woman game but don't pretend this is leading to more good or interesting games from XboxThey will do something #4THEFANS and relaunch Scalebound
>>741155249This. She's just gonna look at sales numbers and focus on more sequels for whatever has the higher numbers.
>>741156178Wait, Sherman is not the name of the dog but the human? The fuck?
>>741156190>Prime 4>goodlol, lmao even
>>741157009>Asha is spending 400M on Gears E Day.Yeah? She's been around since it was greenlit and spent that 400M herself? You know the games been worked on for over half a decade, right? She's probably not touched it since it's one of the safer bets. I don't want to fucking defend Asha but your comment is so retarded I have no choice.
>>741157158Gears in 2026 is a safe bet to make hundreds of millions of dollars? Even Halo isn't a safe bet and Gears MP isn't going to be a huge hit. Their biggest gameplay change is....sliding
>>741154794I liked this game. Shame.
I beat this game. It had an okay story, but it was strange how much supernatural stuff was around the MC that she never picked up on.
>>741154794>female>poc>studio close like pottery
>>741157032This is unironically better than the retarded shit Spencer and Bond were up to. It's not a coincidence that Xbox was competing with Playstation for the biggest wokeslop disaster until Concord released and settled the contest.
>>741157080That was the point
>>741156993If South of Midnight was an animated movie with the Spiderverse artstyle, it would have the most insufferable fanbase imaginable.
>>741154794Literally who?
>>741157069I dont know why they didnt make mr. Peabody a doctor.
InXile is next since Clockwork Revolution reportedly cost $500 Million. It's a shame because the game looked neat but they soiled the whole presentation with that god awful millennial writing.
>>741157648My apologies anon, have a good day
>>741157238Out of Xbox's current lineup, it's their safest bet to at least do decent.
>>741157747How?
I have never heard of this studio.
>>741157919I am 99.8% sure those budgets are all fake or a misunderstanding. Clockwork just look like Bioshock and Gears only changes are a slide and a jump button.
>>741157919Years and years of the corporate mentality "spending more money = a better game".
lol
>>741154794>force you to raceswap your redhead MC>refuse to advertise your game>fire youEh nothing personel
>>741158141kek is just like that time Phil visited the dev team they closed down a few weeks later
>>741157158>>741157238That 400M figure has to include everything The Coalition has been doing for the past like 6 years. They're supposedly THE Unreal studio within Microsoft so its not entirely impossible that that figure is more than just specifically the work on E-Day.
>>741157747source: your ass
Asha has done nothing wrong. These studios are burning money. She's just making logical decisions.
>>741158432The $400m number is probably using Jason's # of employees x an arbitrary dollar amount per week.
>>741154794All the articles and discussion about her being the next coming of christ for Xbox just she dropped the forced online subscription service from $30 to $25 and gave some consoles away was really telling to me than she was hired to kill the brand. Theyre going to bleed the industry dry by introducing even more fucked up practices that Sony will inevitably copy since itll be a money vaccuum. Im thinking subscriptions TO games instead of buying games. Probably going to provide tier internet connections for higher payers and such
>>741158904>$30 to $25to $22.99 you disingenuous fucking nigger.
>>741155364Its one of those games you play straight through and only once. Theres no reason to look for extras, theres no collectables, no unlocks, no endgame. Its an interactive movie with some mid combat and platfoming.
>>741158991Who fucking cares cuck? They still were the ones who forced you to pay for your purchases to go online, for internet you already paid for. This is exactly the kind of dicksucking I was talking about. You faggots will gargle nuts til you choke just in spite of someone who paid 7 more faggot dollars.
>>741158904>she dropped the forced online subscription service from $30 to $25And that's after it was raised from $20 to $30, AND also she axed Call of Duty support when putting it back halfway. Still paying more for less than you got. Game Pass fags are still getting cucked, and yet they still clapped.
>>741159105>Who fucking cares cuck?You cared enough to alter it to make it look worse. You are not fooling anyway snoy faggot. Asha is here to save the brand and every change has been great.
>>741158991You tell 'em, PR-kun!
>>741159114>Still paying more for less than you got.How convenient you forgot all the improvements and added content that came along with that price hike that we STILL keep after the price reduction. This sony fanboys need to fuck off this board.
>>741154794>hire nepo Indian>she does nothing>closes a bunch of studios>releases 0 games>transfers to an AI division >"wow saars isn't she cute I redeem for she"this is officially the most embarrassing era of xbox
>>741154794No, Patrick, the reason why Compulsion Games was shut down is not because of them being "woke", it's because their projects have never been heavy hitters.I haven't heard shit about Contrast, which is a 2.5D platformer, one of the first few games they made.We Happy Few made some money but it's a literal scam and is just a worse BioShock.South of Midnight, despite it actually being pretty good, didn't really sell that much, and there's a 99% chance that most of the people who talked about it never actually played the fucking game.
>>741159183Perfect response, attack me instead of shitty practices you continuously bend over to take you prickly little cumdumpster retard.
>>741157516wayforward is still around tho
>>741158264>redheadWDYM they raceswapped Hazel during development? Got a source?
>>741159296Xbox fans got laughed out of /v/ 15 years ago, back when Kinect was making Microsoft an absolute clown in real time. Maybe it should've stayed that way. It'd be less embarrassing than this.
>>741159114This is what Im talking about. Same shit big name stores pull at Black Friday. Raise the price exponentially and then announce a *huge* discount which is just the price a year ago. God these cucks make it so easy to be taken advantage of. The only thing is, we suffer for it because they will accept it making every other brand think they can do the same thing
>>741156143Sony is still fumbling with woke slop. Nintendo isn't making anything other than remakes it seems. Xbox could easily come back if they just give people what they clearly want: no more niggers, gays, girl bosses, etc. I don't get how you can be in charge of such a large company, see the response to something like Stellar Blade 2, and think "Yeah we need to just keep doing the opposite. That's how we'll win them back".
>>741159341Xbox is already dead, you put the ai indian in and let them do whatever they want as long as they fire people and shut it all down on 2 years.
>>741159416>shitty practicesOh no, I have to pay a measly $20 to play online AND get access to over 400 games for free, plus bonuses. I am getting scammed here! what an awful practice!I guarantee you are a steam nigger. Valve has done way more irreparable damage to gaming but you gladly spread your cheeks for le wholesome chungus Gabe.
>>741159710$22.99. The amount of shitskins they hired after the xbox show is revolting.
>>741159710I genuinely don't know how you can say this and think it sounds like a good deal. nor why you insist on whataboutism and talking about other companies
>>741154794Its still pretty amazing how they managed to turn a young white girl MC into a demonic caricature of a straight out of the congo jiggaboo junglebunny.There's no way this isn't just someone's fetish at the studio.
>>741154794made a game for market that didnt exist because they got brainwashed into believing that you can shame people into buying their product.
>>741159872>I genuinely don't know how you can say this and think it sounds like a good deal.Explain how is it not? go ahead. Tell me how paying chump change to play hundreds of games for free is a bad deal. I am waiting.
>>741155249BUT MUH HECKIN PEABODERINO!
>>741156143They don't have the time. It would take an exclusive new single player game from blizzard, machine games, ID soft, bethesda, playground, arkane and halo (which isn't shit) to land almost simultaneously and to be 100% console exclusive to revive the Xbox console market, even then it would be a huge struggle and would need third party exclusive assistance. To gather that amount of firepower will take 4-6 years and huge delays on revenue which they will not stomach to temporarily reignite a dying console market within a dying hardcore gamer industry.
>>741159981because those games are shovelware shit. $20 to play a bunch of things you would never have bought is not some massive win, and the price is not a good deal anymore. I would much rather pay $20-25 for a game I want, and keep it indefinitely. I would even rather pay $70 for a game every few months if I actually enjoy it. What doesn't make sense to me is paying a subscription to have access to Starfield and Call of Duty
>>741159581>just the price a year agoIt's not even that.
>>741160205>those games are shovelware shit because I say so (I have not play most of them by the way)Riveting argument. I guess Forza 6 is shovelware because this retard says so. Is not worth the money because he, personally, thinks games he has not played are shovelware. Damn you convinced me. Fucking moron, lol.>I would much rather pay $20-25 for a game I want, and keep it indefinitely.Cool, I can still do that and get 400+ extra games for $20. But this is a bad deal because uuhhh...
so are there Sharma nudes yet or
>>741155665>food analogyYou're fat.
Kinda funny seeing all the nigger-loving libtards in this thread making anti-Indian posts to hide their seethe at their nigger studio getting shut down.
>>741159402>No, Patrick, the reason why Compulsion Games was shut down is not because of them being "woke">South of Midnight, despite it actually being pretty good, didn't really sell that muchBecause it's wokeslop.
>>741160843if you are gonna play forza for 3 months you would have saved money just buying it. if you are going to play it less than 3 months it's shovelware shit.
>shutting down every single studio in favor of minecraft and call of dutyeternal gen z slop company
>>741154794They need to closs the senua studio too
>>741154794Is the end goal to just cull everything so they can put more AI or some shit into Call of Duty? The last one flopped.
being award winning doesn't mean shitawards dont mean shitgoty doesn't mean shit
>>741159402>South of Midnight, despite it actually being pretty good, didn't really sell that much, and there's a 99% chance that most of the people who talked about it never actually played the fucking game.Yeah because it looked woke. That's why nobody played it, that's kind of the whole point
>>741164408It doesn't help that it was short even for a $40 release.
>>741154794ohnonononohoohohohohoh
>>741159981>Tell me how paying chump change to play hundreds of games for free is a bad dealI got hundreds of random ass games from Epic for free. People just don't want to play random ass games
>>741164515It needed to be filled with at least 10 hours of empty open world collectables like all of my favorite games.
>>741154794she can clean my asshole
>>741159402Straight out of reddit
>>741164878howdescribe in great detail
>>741159402>I haven't heard shit about Contrast, which is a 2.5D platformer, one of the first few games they madInteresting platformer that I would say is their only solidly 'great' game but is criminally short.
>>741156528But how does that related to my food?
>>741154794>>741156212It's funny because I read a article about this game and it the whole conceptions is of some white dude who used to love going to explore and play pretend in the Louisana swampland. So ofcourse they throw a negro girl front in center lmao. Can we all just admit things ran better and got done faster when white people actually were in control.
How much did South or Midnight sell?
>>741168162Less than 100k.
>>741168162Sell?
>>741159402I actually played and it's not pretty good, not even good, just ok.
>>741169217This. It's not good at all. I accidentally bought it because I thought it was called "Song of the South of Midnight", 2 hours in and there wasn't a single happy singing slave and I refunded it.
>>741168162it's not about sales, chud. It's about sending a message. The developers might have lost their jobs but the world is now a better place with the representation the game brought.
>make a game to push diversity and PoC >the new indian woman boss fires you:O
>>741155249Are you defending the idiots that blackwashed the protagonist of their game?! Hazel (the nig) was originally going to be white, but SBI's taint negrified her and her studio's soul.
>>741156143>Exclusives are keyAnd I stopped reading right there. Exclusives were a mistake and never should've been. The only reason XBOX had exclusives at all was because that bastard Tim Sweeney demonized PC gaming and tried to kill it off.It's also a mistaken idea. PS5 had a lot of exclusives (Final Fantasy 16, the FF7 games, Stellar Blade, God of War, the Spider-Man games), yet all it did was harm the sales of games that could've made it big had they been multiplat instead. Why do you think Square Enix and Shift Up ditched the very idea.All exclusives did was make it a pain in the ass to play games from 20 to 40 years ago, because of idiots like you.
Exclusives don't matter when they take 10 years to come out.
>>741169631Disney will never rerelease that movie, especially in Steam of all places..
>>741159402>South of Midnight, despite it actually being pretty goodGame so good you can disable combat entirely. Nothing shows confidence in your product like removing the gameplay itself
