Well he is right. PS can't fuck something up that bad, it takes 343/Microsoft to create a failed game like that.
Helldivers 2 passed Destiny 2 all time CCU count. Top Seller all around on Steam |UP|Beats Dragon’s Dogma 2 to Reclaim #1 spot on Steam.

i'd be bringing the +2 grenade armor every time and dump a whole stack on the bodies
all they do is lie
In regards to MS theoretically trying to acquire arrowhead:
Arrowhead is a team of like 100 people who took 8 years to make this game. Even if they were bought by x company, the team is too small to break off and start on something new.
Why would they want to start over when they have success now?
Why would they work on a new ip with an unknown partner when their own ip is a phenomenon?
They’re probably contracted to work on hd2 for x amount of years, even if they don’t want to.
They have a long time relationship with Sony, who apparently gave them an extremely long leash and it’s worked out for them.
It would completely poisen the well with Sony, who Microsoft apparently need now to make their gaming division profitable
It would come across as extremely anti competitive and petty and sony would raise a stink about it to regulators, who just barely let them get by with abk
It’s probably an open secret in the games industry that Xbox is a dying brand. Why hitch your wagon to that when you’re having the biggest moment of you’re life/career?
Who’s to say Sony hasn’t already approached them before this game was a success? They apparently acquired blue point months before they announced it.

Man this game is getting huge every day
Sony destroyed ms in the console war
Now I'm starting to think sony will destroy ms in gaas too

Or he is on holiday.Hermen didn't tweet or posted in Instagram since last year. Weird to see he didn't send big props to Arrowhead publicly. Maybe he's waiting to see how high the peak ends being or until they fix the issues? Maybe he's busy working on the aquisition or helping them to fix the stuff?
I'd say 800-900K
This has nothing to do with Azure and everything to do with Arrowhead.
Nah. Azure suck. The fact that shit don't scale is insane
It's probably not Azure's fault. I find it unlikely since Azure and cloud services is MS's biggest source of income. The reputational damage from them fucking up a customer's service would be a disaster for them.
There's a lot of moving parts in a multiplayer game like this and it's likely that the reason it isn't scaling up well is that parts of the player account tracking isn't set up to be sharded across multiple databases, and changing that up requires a rewrite of that code. So it doesn't matter how much server capacity you throw at the problem if your one database is the limiting factor...the only thing you can do is to limit the amount of information the database is tracking at once. Which is probably why they turned off some stuff like active user tracking, why sometimes rewards don't get handed out properly at the end of missions...because the one database is literally choking from all the traffic.
Im new to the story, but MS went and bought Ninja Theory which also had a good relationship with Sony. Same as DoubleFine, also worked with Insomniac who had been making games with PS for decades
And how did that work out for them lol
Doesnt matter how it didnt work out for them. Sony could of worked better with them then MS did. Its been taken away from us. Maybe not Ninja theory and Doublefine, but others could.
I dont know what type of games you love. But imagine MS bought any of these: FromSoft, Arrowhead, Bluepoint, Rockstar
( just an example )
Then yeah sure MS would run them to the ground and not make a good game with them, but we’d lose potential Helldivers 3, a great remake from Bluepoint, GTA6, Bloodborne 2 etc etc. Imagine if MS bought Insomniac because Sony was too slow to purchase them after working with them for decades… We would have lost out big time, regardless if MS couldnt make a good game with Insomniac after buying them.
Sony needs to be a bit more aggressive with there buying. They are one of the most popular electronic brands, amongst the best publisher of videos games, if not thee best.
Im not saying MS is making good use of them, Im saying its taking away from PS fans and other fans
Why Im glad Sony bought Bungie because Im pretty sure MS was sniffing to buy them outirght.

Dawg, it's the code that doesn't scale, not the servers... Why do you think progression/rewards breaks?
That's not the servers.
Arrowhead could set set a higher capacity RIGHT NOW but the code would get so inefficient and fail in so many ways that it would not be worth considering. It would bursting at the seams and cause critical failures like earlier in the week when servers simply went down and restarted.
True. But even so new studios will always pop up. So what, MS got ninja theory. Sony partnered up with Ember Labs, Sloclap, Arrowhead, and BlueTwelve. So MS bought doublefine; Sony partnered up with Housemarque, Bluepoint, Shift_Up, and Mihoyo.
Microsoft can only buy studios when those studios are looking to sell because they're on the way out. Look at Moon Studio, refused to be bought by MS because they still believed in their products.
They both hate Microsoft that's good enough for now
But Azure scales, and to much bigger clients than Arrowhead. Their network code is shit, and they never built it to scale like this, that's pretty obvious.
