The layoffs in Novato at 4 Hamilton Landing match an address for gaming studio and “Skylanders” creator Toys for Bob, which was acquired by Activision in 2005. The facility will also be closing, according to a state filing.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy was excellent. Rest in peace Spyro 4.

Acceptance

That's not acceptance btw, that's still bargaining. "Somehow this bad news is still good for me" is copium on a deep level. Acceptance comes when they admit that the xbox brand is dead and they're in this position because the company is doing horribly on all fronts.

Jaffe keeps shilling for GP and saying stupid things like this. You can’t grow GP, without growing the console. Also people keep calling for the death of consoles for over a decade and they keep being wrong.

You can if people want to use it on mobile through cloud or on pc problem is nobody does

I just saw a twitter comment that copied my exact post from a few pages back here.


I don't have twitter so someone's reading the forums.

I saw that twitter post aswell just before I read your comment on here so thought it was you lol

Game pass on switch & ps5 is never happening unless it includes no 3rd party games that can be bought through ps store / Nintendo stores ... They need to get that through their thick skulls the only one who would benefit would be Microsoft

Fucking disgraceful that Crash is doomed again. ABK needs to fix the CoD pipeline and until then everything suffers. Sadly this time there is no path to anyone buying the IP and reviving it.

I think it will be more along the lines of "We see our future as reaching all players and respecting the IPs we have acquired. As such, going forward, Xbox games will no longer be exclusive to the Xbox platform as navigate achieving our goal of reaching every player. Our Xbox consoles will remain supported and our commitment to our fans remains, but now we will support our fans wherever they choose to play our games." They don't need a business meeting and a week delay from all this drama to announce select titles will have limited exclusivity. Announcing a Series X pro will be an absolute death knell considering 3 skus + they will be forced to abandon it once they completely go 3rd party, if not next week in the next few years.

100% agree.

I also think they are leaking some bad news that are fake, to make it look now worse than it's going to be. So once their fans really see the real news they'll think 'oh, it isn't that bad', specially if they mix it with some good new for them.

Red Dragon said the same thing.
