What up Corporate Slaves?
Microsofts biggest problem is they can’t get games out at a quicker pace. I don’t know why they can’t figure it out. They have the money and the studios. Yet the games are coming in slowly!
It’s almost like they had a whole segment about why they feel like things are taking longer. Games that came out last year were delayed, games coming out this year were delayed from last year, games this year are being delayed. Not just Xbox, but across the industry.
Because building actual quality AAA titles takes about 4 to 7 years( look up Sony development history). Microsoft just started working on new IPs and other titles. All the studios Microsoft purchased in 2018 were still releasing updates and DLCs for their games till 2020.
@AwwBeans dude this has been Microsoft’s problem for a whole decade. This isn’t recent.
@portalplayer Until recently though Xbox had basically no first party studios. Even the 2018 acquisitions, taking the pandemic into account it makes sense games would be 2022-2023 unless they’re smaller games. Even smaller games there’s no guarantee of things moving quickly these days.
@AwwBeans yeah I think that’s a pathetic excuse. Other studios are releasing games right now. They had to work through covid.
I can only imagine how much worse the conversation would be if no games slated for later than 2022 had ever been announced. It would still be “Xbox has no games”. I really think people need to just take a step back, check their backlogs, and play games until new ones come out. I know I’ll never finish every game I want to finish. Regardless of how long things take to come out.
Is there something wrong with the video? It won’t load for me. It’s just an endless loading bar. Ads still play and everything else on YouTube is still playing just fine. Is only this video that hasn’t been loading for the last 5 hours fo me
Same thing happened for me about 30 mins in. Skipped it forward 10 mins and it loaded. Weird.
