Microsoft: "We can't compete with such great content. Shut it all down.'

Long term planning in general has been on a steep decline for a long time now.

~1,900 jobs today, even. :/

gotta make sure phil spencer gets his bonus.

Eliminating 9,000 jobs only guarantees they’ll flounder even longer.

Maybe. Microsoft's biggest revenue stream has historically been government contracts. I don't see that failing them anytime in the next decade.

But retail consumer spending? That's something that could seriously take a few hits in the next big downturn. I can see a company putting its finger to the wind and betting a '08 style recession will kill the market for console gaming in another two or three years.

Even when people were saying that MS turned a new leaf and that they are better at managing all the studios that they buy, and that they’ll make more better games for Game Pass to be a success, I knew that this was coming. Microsoft has been nothing but consistent in this one thing: it’ll pivot hard in one direction, pour tons of green into it, hire the best people, and then fire everyone and abandon the idea forever.

Zune, Windows Phones, Kinect, and now I guess XBOX. Well, looks like it lived long enough.

Maybe the game just sucks?

Worst AI ever. Outperformed in every aspect, including rudimentary excel formulas, by every other llm I have used.

I hate to tell you this, but they announced it at TGA in 2020...which was 5 years ago.

My niece giggled at that during the Minecraft credits

The best way to play it is with mouse & KB using the 1964 emulator GEPD version, imo.

Is it a good port? I really enjoy turok 2 on PS4, would love to play perfect dark on something better than an N64.

Dude, after goldeneye it hit the spot hard. Loved perfect dark.

I completely disagree. Perfect Dark holds up extremely well. I still play it occasionally. Of course the framerate is atrocious at times.
