Spencer went on to say that while he personally didn’t like making the decision to close Tango, his job was ultimately to keep Xbox profitable.
Fuck off, Spencer. I can imagine there are other reasons why Xbox is struggling with profitability. Keeping games pass afloat by pushing day-1 releases for one, then spending obscene globs of money to buy exclusivity from massive, globally recognized franchises instead of investing in innovative new studios to foster a stable of great, fresh exclusives in the future.
Just curious, does anyone know which studios bought-out by Microsoft got better after being purchased?
Total BS. This is not about being profitable, it is about further increasing profits and growth for the shareholders. That’s the problem with any company that is traded publicly. A company that makes a lot of money and keeps all its customers and employees happy isn’t a good company if there isn’t as much money to be sucked out of it for the CEOs and shareholders. That’s why we are seeing all the layoffs. The gaming market isn’t growing so not they maximise profits by saving costs.
