Re: Eight New Game Pass Titles Announced At Xbox Games Showcase 2024

@tho_mi : definitely those games are not financing themselves, But that's why should be happy some of those games could be going multiplatform as Nintendo and PlayStation gamers will be doing the funding for GamePass subscribers with each one of their purchases as we see Sea of Thieves being a great hit on PlayStation lately.

@Mustoe: For those that play FIFA and Call of Duty it might not matter but those are not the people that built the PlayStation brand, and right now many of those PlayStation fans feel neglected to the point that even the media have noticed the discord among the Sony fans.

But hey, as long as PlayStation keep selling consoles the fans won't care to be neglected right?

@awp69 : Push Square and Pure Xbox are very polarizing sites although they are run by the same people but they love to see readers picking sides....and yet you could easily get banned if you react against someone's toxic/trolling comments caused by the very same polarizing articles.

@GuyinPA75 : Once more I agree with you....343 Studios is possibly the most problematic of all dragging Xbox down....At first everyone thought Bonny Ross was the issue, then she left and 343 studios still can't seem to find a leader that can push them ahead.

This would have been my #1 studio to fully micromanage or get most of them fired.

Their performance is straight out dreadful.

@NEStalgia: The game itself wasn't unsalvageable, the little things that were missing at launch mounted into the bigger picture....if the game would have released with a 60fps, offline single player mode, offline multiplayer coop, and more fun power ups, the game would not had the terrible outcome it had.

I mean it was so obvious what the game needed that they went and released the final patch with features I mentioned.

I blame this failure on management, the studio had too much freedom and zero liability till they got fired.

@NEStalgia For everything you said, still comes down to one thing: "Development Underperformance"

Red Fall would have been a flop regardless of which publisher it would have been under, the only question that still remains is:

"Should the Xbox Leadership still give developers that massive amount of freedom given the circumstances that have come to bite their ass?

I say no...Xbox needs tougher leadership that can follow a working formula and expectations.

@Sol4ris : Phil Spencer didn't have to lose his job for him to see the consequences, he is now facing far more pressure from Microsoft's CEO to see those remaining studios to produce the proper results...and because of Phil Spencer's trusty attitude towards developers in "creativity freedom" that completely backfired on his face.

Everyone knows Phil Spencer as great guy and even greater Boss, but a great boss need to know how much freedom should be given in a job.

You are absolutely wrong. Since Xbox acquired Bethesda and all its studios Phil Spencer has been very clear in giving all studios the creativity freedom they need.

Now was it to much freedom that Arkane Austin took for granted?.... absolutely.

Phil Spencer should have been more firm and be more om top of the studio's leadership with higher expectations.

In gaming development "creativity freedom" is often taken for granted as Phil Spencer truly knows now.

The studio should have taken things far more serious, I mean these people are in the gaming business entertainment and there was nothing entertaining about Red Fall if anything it looked like they were actually sabotaging Xbox and themselves with every questionable decision they made about the game.

I say, those that can't deliver at their jobs, should face the consequences.
