The One Where Microsoft Admits Game Studios Are F*cked (The Jimquisition) Jim Sterling 2024-05-20 | http://www.patreon.com/jimquisitionhttps://bsky.app/profile/commandersterling.bsky.socialhttp://www.thejimporium.comIn trying to justify closing down various Bethesda studios, including Hi-Fi Rush developer Tango Gameworks, Microsoft has basically admitted game developers are doomed. When a publisher defines success not by actual success, but by whatever criteria they need to justify their mercenary costcutting, you have truly rigged the game so the studios can never win. #HiFiRush #Microsoft #Bethesda #Layoffs #Money #Greed #JimSterling #Jimquisition #StephanieSterling #Games #Gaming #Videogames
