Following the shock closure of a number of Bethesda studios earlier this week, @theverge digs deeper to uncover the reasons behind these decisions, and finds "growing discontent and fear among Xbox employees about what comes next."

Does no one at #microsoft challenge this kind of implementation?
#Microsoft says it needs #games like Hi-Fi Rush THE DAY AFTER KILLING THE STUDIO that made (games like) Hi-Fi Rush GOD there's a lack of functioning brains over there HOW
"Microsoft and OpenAI are reportedly working on a massive datacenter to house an AI-focused supercomputer featuring millions of GPUs. The Information reports that the project could cost "in excess of $115 billion" and that the supercomputer, currently dubbed "Stargate" inside OpenAI, would be U.S.-based."
So much could be done with that amount of money... such a huge waste.
Oh wow... This is something special! I found an early pre-release version of "Castle of the Winds" .. v0.5.4. This was apparently released exclusively for Microsoft employees back in the day.
I think it's an awesome collector's piece! My gratitude goes to "iamxray" for his generous upload.
This #Microsoft closing game studios shit is part of a bigger problem with art in general... Executives and money bros started calling it all "content." Then they forgot that artists are the ones who create the art... then they started thinking that they were actually smart when it comes to art. They are not.
Their job is to enable artists, fund artists, and let them create new pieces of culture... They forgot about this, so we get cancelled games, closed studios that were awesome, sequels forever and fear of new IPs, cancelled shows that were good, shelved movies that were completely finished, etc.
Fuck every single rich asshole who thinks they know anything about art. They need to learn their place in society, because the cultural implications of having them behind the artistic decisions is bleak.
“Game Pass has justified its slow degrading of the value of games by promising that it makes room for little guys to survive. We all know now, finally, that this was a lie. Is it a great value for consumers still? Probably. Has Phil Spencer’s multi-billion dollar project destroyed the gaming industry? I am comfortable calling it a contributing factor to its slow decay.”
