Not skipping over anything.

We can assume all we want, but we're not going to sit here and act like M$ is some shining beacon that should be held in higher regard than any other publisher.

No one said that. Quite the oppostie.

Yall the ones acting like they are some terrible demonic and “dead” place cause they have some layoffs, when in reality it business as usual for EVERYONE in the industry right now.

No one said they were, but if I was a game dev at Bethesda or ABK pre merger the best odds for prolonged employment is clear.

Y'all in here acting like the consolidation of those 2 companies is why games and studios are getting closed down and cancelled therefore causing job loss.

And that for the most part just ain't true in this case.

They spent 80$+ billy to acquire those 2 studios. They are making these moves due to that acquisition.

Same with Sony buying up Bungie. etc.

Do you think Bungie employees would be better off if Sony hadn't purchased them

No idea. Who knows.

What I do know is buying Bungie has done more harm than good with Sony.

I'll add so far, but it doesn't look good.

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

But I do agree that every year ABK do lay off a ton of people.

Now that Microsoft own them, it's gonna be Microsoft who take the blame

They skipping over this part.

Bethesda wasn't doing well financially at all when purchased, now their at the very least unionized.

ABK wasn't doing well financially, or in the public light. Now they are good.
