No. Zenimax was a private company. I was comparing ABK to the Zenimax acquisition where they did that Bethesda game drop immediately after the close of the sale. Sorry for the confusion.This makes absolutely no sense. MS is not a private company. Whatever it is you think would have been exposed prior is now too.
Congrats to Phil and Microsoft for spending $100 billion on game company acquisitions!
Nothing like buying all the toys in the store and then declaring yourself the kid with the most toys I guess
That's what he says in the memo, in the bedroom he's more like:
Eh, I think they're good at what they do, but they're not quite up there with the best at Sony. Guerilla, Naughty Dog, and Santa Monica are in classes by themselves. They make literal industry movers.One of the few franchises under MS umbrella that I like is Gears of War, and Coallition are fucking tech masters, one of few MS studios who rivalize with Sony studios in technical ability.

Ahh, the highest achievement in the Xbox Fandom, laughing at others who are embarrassed for you.
My point is that Zenimax could do the Game Pass onloading behind the scenes before close of the sale since it was a private company and easier to hide that stuff. If that's not the case, I'm not sure what else could be the hold up. ABK holding back every game doesn't make much sense if they are worried about profits.
Ok but you're confusing me even more.
What stuff exactly? You still haven't explained.My point is that Zenimax could do the Game Pass onloading behind the scenes before close of the sale since it was a private company and easier to hide that stuff.

Question: When was the last time Xbox Game Studios made a game that hit $1 billion in revenue?
Was it even under Phil Spencer's leadership?
So why do you think they aren't adding the ABK games to Game Pass right away if it isn't because of hurting sales?What stuff exactly? You still haven't explained.
With whatever they were hiding how is MS hiding it now being a publicly traded company? What you're saying makes absolutely no sense.
I find it amusing that this actually upsets people.I'm starting to get sick and tired of MS never ever releasing game sales. Even internally they don't seem to want to release real numbers.

I don't even know what's going on anymore. I'm the one saying they're not doing it because they want to make more money from it by selling the ABK games for longer and only using it to boost subs when they don't have other big XGS game releases in the quarter.So why do you think they aren't adding the ABK games to Game Pass right away if it isn't because of hurting sales?
Your speculation is just as unsupported as mine. I was just saying something I heard that made sense to me. I never quoted anyone, or claimed anything as fact.

You're the one saying they can't do it because ABK is a publicly traded company so it was difficult to hide something. What exactly you still haven't explained.

Maybe try lowering your expectations (or just not having any at all) of Xbox's leadership.Upsets? No. I'm not losing sleep over it. It's just stupid and annoying. You too should expect better from Xbox's leadership.
I mean sure but you're doing a lousy job of even explaining what your speculation is when I'm asking for you to elaborate.Your speculation is just as unsupported as mine. I was just saying something I heard that made sense to me. I never quoted anyone, or claimed anything as fact. Relax.
I won't have more fun with a game if I know it sold 1 million copies vs if it had sold 5 million. Unless you have a large number of stock shares, knowing how many units a game sells does nothing for our pocketbooks other than giving ammunition and bragging rights on forums such as these.Upsets? No. I'm not losing sleep over it. It's just stupid and annoying. You too should expect better from Xbox's leadership.
You do know that "soar" went back down right?Also, Microsoft seems to be doing just fine running Xbox as it is currently doing, so even people who do own significant stock shouldn't be worried...

Yeah, that's how the stock market works. Yet a simple search shows that in the past 5 years, MS stock is up by 213% (~43% per year).You do know that "soar" went back down right?

You could pretty much say that about anything purchased.Not something you should be proud of. Specially if it's work not done from your part.

Activision games won't be exclusive
PC only titles like WoW?
That's what he says in the memo, in the bedroom he's more like:
Just don't make it with crossplay.Now break the mold and release WOW on co soles
It's because we bullied FlorianWhat is he even talking about when he mentions Gaf?

the worst 16th century Xbox king, a sure downgrade from Peterious G. Moore XVIIICompletely noble.
That would be likely true under the traditional sales model. GamePass throws that out the window.Why? They are a trillion-dollar company that said they want to disrupt the current way of things in the video game space. I'm only going to raise my expectations.
But if it only sales 1 million units, you may not get another game in the series. Versus if it sold 5 million units.

So do you think there is a Redfall 2 coming?That would be likely true under the traditional sales model. GamePass throws that out the window.
Under a GamePass model, engagement would be the leading factor indicating a sequel or not. RedFall failed in the engagement metric, so no.So do you think there is a Redfall 2 coming?
