It's quite literally insane, those people are the only reason Microsoft is even bothering with making that dumb, $1000 console/PC hybrid system.At this point I'm still surprised that anyone bothers with Xbox. It's pretty clear that making literally anything else your main gaming platform would be a smart move.
The firings should have started at the top, honestly
There's definitely something to that. I remember when being metrosexual was kinda cool back in 2007. Little did we know it would turn a generation of dudes into a bunch of pussies.I think might be the lack of masculinity, so they have to resort to man-up females.
If Spencer has even the slightest clue what kind of games gamers and MS fans want to see he would just never have greenlit those games in the first placePerfect dark was never good.
Fuck that IP.
I remember Booty directly overseeing this game and Everwild, this dude needs to go ASAP.Full memo from Booty:
Another career moment for Phillip Eugene Spencer the tard
Same. Timesplitters, Perfect Dark and No one lives forever are the three most cursed franchises in this shitty timeline we live in.Absolutely gutted about this news.
The OG was one of my favourite games growing up.
They've been extremely successful on making BLOPS4 a massive hit last year. They're not going anywhere, but recent events should give anyone a clue of where things are going.seriously, after the past 10+ years, how the fuck are Spencer and Booty still employed?
Spent themselves out of business.Full memo from Booty:

Hey Matt, you ever consider that you and Phil are the problem?Full memo from Booty:
It wasn't a bad choice as an IP but unfortunately the developer was unable to deliver. They'd been given more than enough time and help.HAHAHAHHAAH I fucking knew it they wouldn't be able to pull it off. Besides nobody was interested in a new Perfect Dark. MS' biggest problem is that they greenlit games nobody cares about.
Obviously no, but it definitely adds into their portfolio. Which is why upper MS leadership doesn't really care about any of this, hell, the sooner they get into an <<optimized>> production workflow where the only shit allowed is the same bunch of high-performing IPs (most of them GaaS, btw) we know from XGS/Zenimax/ABK (Forza Horizon, Sea of Thieves, The Elder Scrolls, Call of Duty, etc.), the better for them.You really think they deserve credit for BLOPS4?
Yep. I got the first Xbox day one and did the same for every console they put out since, but I'm pretty much done now.At this point I'm still surprised that anyone bothers with Xbox. It's pretty clear that making literally anything else your main gaming platform would be a smart move.
Western development is a mess.
for me it was a major disappointment i wanted a new IPIt wasn't a bad choice as an IP but unfortunately the developer was unable to deliver. They'd been given more than enough time and help.
