Developer made or did they just take fan made levels and publish them as per usual?

More good games leave than good games are added.

GP is not worth the money any more.

The game was a massive flop. It probably didn't even make back 25% of that budget LMAO

AAA gaming is doomed.

They can't even find a publisher to take on their work. What does that say about the games they're making. They aren't economically viable.

There's no audience. Nobody wants to play a cinematic mental illness walking simulator. Journalists that get free copies like it. Actual paying gaming audiences don't.

Best of luck in your future endeavours all the employees of his studio that's definitely getting shut down. Maybe make fun games next time.

I think everyone will be just fine not getting the next gen until 2030.

@Squincher it's hilarious because there was some Dungeons and Dragons game that's identical but D&D release like the same week lol

@GlasgowGuy point still stands. No online play.

Let me guess, over budget, over schedule and wasn't anywhere near complete and wasn't even looking particularly good?

Sin had its multiplayer removed on consoles. Only on PC. So less features and content for the same price. No thanks.

They ripped the entire multiplayer out of Turok 3 too. Nightdive are supposed to be the ones who take care into their ports but theyre happy to gut half the content of a game and sell it to you.

I'm shocked that the company that took 7 years to not release a zombie game had employees laid off.

Entire studio getting laid off the week this game comes out.

Xbox going for the Game Pass Mass Cancellation speedrun Part 2

How many more years can you milk a MMO from 2004? Lol

Why tf don't they have the original Xbox startup? Was it because it was rendered in real time on the hardware? Just make a static pre rendered version.

Also, when can we change the dashboard?
Of course never there has to be 15 rows of ads

This makes no sense. And all it does is cause FOMO by forcing you to never cancel you sub forever.

Gamepass has been very low quality for the last year. It's not worth the subscription any more.

Reason number #363 why I would be fine with the video game marketing crashing and burning

They've shown native American (duh), Asian and even black playable characters...

But no white characters. Why? Are they seriously not going to allow you to be white in this game?

I mean the game is 80% off everywhere now. So Gamepass is free money + boost to player numbers.

Which tiers will it be on though? I have premium.

Another made up manufactured crisis so they can slap another $250+ onto the R.R.P

£760 is just so beyond insane to me. Just crazy. Who WHO is paying those prices for a 6 year old console. It's just utter madness.

They have to match the same minimum speed but does that mean they can't make FASTER speeds? 🤔

Is Xbox locked into the one SSD speed?

I wasn't going to bother doing this verification cus I'm not scanning my face.

I got a message saying they have estimated im an adult and have set it to verified.

Gamepass has spectacularly fell off in quality

Releasing a good game that people actually want to buy would also secure the survival of their studio.

Don't hold your breath for that though. Given their track record.

Why all the doom and gloom about cuts?

Microsoft have applied for 2000 H1B1 migrant worker visas! People with liberal political views LOVE migrants and migrant labor!

So all these massive layoffs will have foreign workers replace them and we will still get lots of wonderful software from our favorite game studios!

$100,000,000 game that sold only 500,000 copies by the way

So they weren't actually working on anything? They were getting paid full wages to throw around ideas and concepts?

Who on earth wanted Avowed 2?

They released 6 games in 15 years. They thought they could just have a job for life or something?

@Lanmanna yes? Because it reportedly cost $100,000,000+ to make and sold only 500,000. It didn't even break even. It lost tens of millions.

@NishimaruX no, it's down to the studios making bad videogames nobody wants to play or buy.

@NishimaruX how can people be serious when they say this?

Xbox/MS have released more software the last 6/7 years than they ever have. And most of them have been complete duds. They spent billions on studios and gave them basically free reign to make whatever and so many games just flopped.

Should they just continue making dozens of $100,000,000 per game flops? Forever? Just keep losing hundreds of millions? The studios bad to go, the employees had to go there's just far too many.

InXile is the next to go

@Balaam_ yeah? And less absolutely garbage games that are instant flop dead on arrivals. Like they've been releasing for years.

Oh no, we won't get another Redfall or South of Midnight!!!! The horror!

Highly relevant and topical feature

Raise price of gamepass to add COD
Remove CoD from game pass day one.
Reduce the price of gamepass again but not the original price it was before you raised it.

You don't hate mega corporation executives enough.

I'm sure plenty of companies will jump at the chance to buy studios that take 7+ years to make bland, generic, poor selling games.

Series X, £450 from game in 2021.

I won't ever pay more for a console.

Let this industry crash and burn at this point.

Looks interesting. Getting this downloaded for the weekend. First game pass game in a long time I've been interested in to be honest

Lots of layoffs.

Go _____ , go broke?

£15 is way too much. It doesn't even have online multiplayer.

£7 and I'll jump on it.

People will tell you Marathon didn't flop by the way.

Quality acquisition by Sony lol

There is literally zero chance I will ever pay £1000 for a console. It's just not happening. I think £700 is my limit and even that is asking way too much.

I would happily wait 3-4+ years into the next gen before getting the new Xbox because let's be real. They'll be releasing Series X and PS5 versions of games well into the 2030's.

Modern gamin mg industry is unsustainable.

Microsoft bought too many studios that have made games nobody cares about. This was inevitable.
