So is Halo Studios/343 just…dead now? Seems like they’re dead if they don’t have Halo. Kind of in their name.

Activision in charge of Halo? That’s a deathblow if ever I heard one.

Deck chairs on the Titanic. I honestly believe that Xbox will stop existing as a company in a few years.

From what I’ve heard, Bethesda and Obsidian have always been great places to work. I hope Microsoft isn’t ruining that for the devs. Hopefully the increasing union presence in Microsoft will bring worker interests back into consideration.

Can’t wait for Fallout 5: Skyrim Crossover Edition. Turns out Heimskr was working with the Thalmor the whole time and after Ulfric captured Hoover Dam, the Khajit Commonwealth just said “fuck it” and nuked everyone. Well, it was skooma spiked with Nuka Cola. The Radskeevers are everywhere and are a pain to kill.

These fuckers won’t rest until there’s nothing good left to play and all that’s left are multiplayer only games that cost $100 up front and still need several microtransactions a day forever in order to be in any way playable 😮💨🤬

Holy moly. That is basically the worst case scenario, no? The absolute last thing Obsidian needs is Bethesda presiding over them. Bethesda (the publisher) is pure toxicity, and don’t they hate Obsidian? They should have given Obsidian TES/Fallout, and folded Bethesda into Obsidian as a studio to farm work out to. BGS has some great level design teams, but the decision makers need to go. The absolute last thing Halo campaigns need is to be more like Call of Duty. They should have cut 343, and split the IP amongst specialized studios. Like an Arkane “special ops” stealth game, another Halo Wars, and/or a strictly multiplayer Activision game. This is beyond even my worst expectations. It’s what I would have done if I was a corporate spy inside Microsoft, assigned to sabotage them.

Why don’t they just get out of the industry, they clearly don’t want to be in it anymore. It’s just been stupid decision, after stupid decision, they basically have a license to print money and instead of creating the games that people want, and then selling them for people to play on their confusingly named consoles, they instead muck around with it by raise prices, closed studios and discontinuing IPs.

Fucking hysterical how everyone was celebrating Asha Sharma and Xbox a month or two ago, even though SHE LITERALLY SAID 1,600 CUTS ARE ON THE WAY. This is because their AI bet fucking failed, and so did gamepass. Yet the only ones hurt are Devs, the gamers, and potentially IPs people adore. What a shit timeline this is.
