Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard

That’s a waste of jet fuel if ever I’ve heard of one.
Phil Spencer is getting sexually harassed on that plane. Kotick can't behave himself for that length of time.

It’ll be Microsoft’s version of the Plane Ride from Hell!
I’m picturing the episode of Duckman with the senator being treated for his addiction to senate pages through the use of a shock decoy.
METAL HELLSINGER Dev furious at the new news that MS fudged gamepass numbers to get devs on board, royally screwing over him and the team, and killing the METAL HELLSINGER IP with gamepass.

This confirms that Microsoft are using PC and Gamepass App numbers in with xbox to boost the profile of Gamepass on xbox. Now i would like to see how they calculate MAU and how/how long a person gets counted as an MAU
and why Monthly active users? Show me daily and weekly users you cowards.
this is probably why MS and square enix had a fall out as well... juicy details coming out of this case!
Well they are probably making a game for PlayStation now, so lets hope that doesn't fail.... I think it'll do well though.
I would assume Minecraft, Zenimax games, PC and Xbox users are all used.
we don't know that. When i see a game launch in gamepass, as a PS4/PS5 owner, i usually will not buy it. Same with WoLong. If it's on gamepass, no way can you expect me to pay $70.
What MS did was lie to Square-Enix and told them that gamepass would increase sales, that devs were having success, and pointed to their own game, state of decay 2 as an example. A game which they fudged the numbers for. all this to fool devs into supporting the service.
this is really serious and may very will be illegal...
it's looking very well like this could be one of the reasons for the square-enix/MS fallout.
and if people can fly's next game is PS5 exclusive... whoo boy, now we know why.
Outriders’ developer says it hasn’t earned any profits, despite Game Pass deal | VGC
Shooter “probably” hasn’t broke even, says People Can Fly, even after 3.5 million players at launch…

To be fair they also make games for Nintendo
This guy isn't from square enix nor is he behind outriders.
He is a dev from the game studio "The Outsiders" that developed Metal Hellsinger.
That doesn't change the point, though. Xbox probably gives a presentation to these devs giving MAU counts, projected growth, etc. and either the MAU are very misleading or MS are presenting numbers knowing that a lot of those MAU will never even look at these games. And based on gamepass missing growth targets constantly these devs are probably feeling very sore that the numbers aren't what they were told they'd be.
ha, i misread that one. The outriders devs were pretty vocal about their hatred of MS and gamepass too, weren't they?
edit: yup.

Sony market their games so it’s not failing. Not even forspoken is failing exactly.
Cautionary tale for people willing to believe anything coming out of one of the biggest pathological liars in the gaming industry. It's a testament to how raw charisma is an effective tool in interpersonal relationships that the 2nd richest company in the world is still harboring such an ineffective executive.ha, i misread that one.

The rule of thumb is, if Microsoft PR says something, it is total bullshit. That company is built or lying, scheming, cheating and theft, and the company culture is that the customer is a rube to be fleeced.
It’s The Outsiders dev studio who made Metal Hellsinger. Not Outriders
Still, doesn’t change the context.
