They really have no idea what a healthy game development pipeline looks like :manny:
Ms the biggest software company in the world. Don’t know how they can Stan Xbox when we know what ms can do when they actually care.

I think they need an actual in-house studio with devs for The Initiative. I think the development process in the gaming industry can run into roadblocks. The prob should've just absorbed Crystal Dynamic into The Initiative

This literally contradicts your whole argument :mjlol:



"FTR, I've spoken to many current and former employees stating that the flood of departures very much is sign of a problem. Not with the multi studio setup - it was always their intention to partner with an experienced dev - but many seemingly had issues with Initiative leadership"



-I said that collaborating with other studios wasn't a sign of a problem as its something MOST if not all big Triple A projects do.

-You've been saying the other studios were bought in because of problems.

-He is saying that the other studios were always the intention to be partnered with and the people who left were having problems with leadership.


Having problems with leadership within the team has nothing to with what me and others have been going back and forth with you stans about.
#Sony stans :mjlol:

Again, its not something most triple A studios do, it’s something this particular studio is doing because they were never competent enough to make a AAA game on their own.

Most AAA studios do not bring in a completely new studio to make a game for the m:dahell:

Also, another part of the argument was that the studio was insanely mismanaged, like a lot of xbox studios are, which is why theres a huge number of departures. If all this was part of the plan that turn over rate by vets on the staff wouldnt have happened. They lost two game directors lol

Support studios =! An entirely different studio which also uses support studios. The distinction is The Initiative isn’t actually developing the game, CD is. Naughty Dog was working on the game until the day it shipped

And Straley left after he finished the game, not before.

Lets highlight the words you adding in based on your opinions and to create a narrative


To add to that the team was formed in 2018..

What happened in 2019? It was pretty profound and we STILL haven't gotten games because of it that were in development prior to everything shutting down.
Saying a company that literally has never gotten around to releasing a game is incompetent especially in the wake of being created months before a pandemic :mjlol:

Now we pivot to “but the pandemic” is that why all microsofts studios are having development troubles? :jbhmm:
