    I’m just loving the amount of bad press Microsoft is deservedly getting.

      I think the studio closures was just the last straw. Like they spent almost $100 billion and they’ve made NOTHING. Like not one goddamn thing.

      Say what you will about Sony and Nintendo but they have output and they care about gaming because they have to, it’s the only way they make money.

      Microsoft could shutter their gaming division tomorrow and they would save money, not lose it. Whatever exec championed the buyouts for Game Pass is clearly gone or asleep at the wheel. So the end result is they own WoW, Candy Crush and CoD that print money and a bunch of franchises that haven’t seen a good release in 10+ years.

      The fact that they bought inExile, Obsidian and Bethesda and didn’t immediately start work on a Fallout 1/2 remake or an FNV sequel is evidence enough they they have no fucking clue what they’re doing. How does a company own so many studios and make no games!?

        You are aware that Sony makes lots of other things besides games too?

          Take a look at Sony’s annual reports and then get back to me. PlayStation is the engine that drives the company.
