I, too, did not receive a copy of Ace Combat 8 for review, as I assume the developers wouldn't have appreciated my gentle snark in saying it was probably easier to land the plane in Top Gun for NES than to follow the plot. #AceCombat8

in a week that saw microsoft give activision the reins to halo and bungie pivot back to destiny, one thing has become abundantly clear: the people in charge do not have a long-term, overriding plan. they’re just reacting. the result, when times are bad, is chaos

"Things are still very chaotic," a current id Software employee who was granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly told Aftermath. "While there has been an attempt to communicate to the studios, it is still entirely in bullshit corporate speak. I still don't believe they have a clear vision for the future. The only concrete thing they have communicated is they want higher profits, and they want it now. Aggressive goals are being set that would have been unrealistic even before the layoffs. ... To say the workers within Xbox have a dim view of the future is putting it mildly. We keep thinking morale can't sink lower but the obvious incompetence of Xbox management somehow keeps driving it down worse."
This mirrors shifts in strategy that have come to dominate the still-new Sharma era, including others outlined Tuesday. Rare is joining Activision, Turn 10 and Playground are fusing, and—most gallingly, considering their history—Obsidian is being folded into Bethesda to work on Fallout instead of its own original series. As with the previous round of layoffs, details betray Microsoft's haphazard approach: A Halo developer got promoted and laid off in the same week. Gears of War: E-Day's story director is out of a job days after celebrating that the game had gone gold. Hellblade developer Ninja Theory, now without a buyer after a brief glimmer of hope, is once again on the chopping block.
All of this betrays a simplistic mindset that does not accurately reflect the reality of game development: People are disposable, studios are interchangeable, and series can be traded like sports teams. Nothing matters more than franchises and their money-printing prowess. Unless, evidently, you are Hideo Kojima, in which case Microsoft suddenly has money to burn.

Absolutely, hands down, the worst decision I've heard in a while. The company took Activision's policies and visions out of Blizzard to repair Overwatch. They literally broke Overwatch with a sequel. And now they want that in Halo... why? Leave them to CoD, leave Halo alone. #Halo #Activision

So this article throws shade on Erica Ishii for being a "controversial figure among a segment of the fandom due to their open views about gender, sexuality, and politics." Don't suppose Polygon could elaborate on how she's been controversial or what they consider as such... #VideoGames #Gaming

I was just waking up when I saw Bungie's new statement of purpose and at first it kind of got me emotionally but then I rubbed some bullshit out of my eyes and it became easy to see: Sony realized they fucked up and never should have managed Bungie the way they did, and now they need to backpedal.

There really needs to be a protective measure letting you know if AI was used in making a product. A label forced onto products to let you know the item created was stolen from other artists and creatives, and rehashed for cheap, hoping you're too stupid to realize it's bad #AI #TTRPG #Gaming
