In an interview with former Xbox employees, IGN is reporting Xbox news today that says it's no longer Xbox, but Microsoft Gaming. That's according to two former Xbox employees who've seen all this unfold before their eyes. This also comes after a disastrous interview that Sarah Bond gave with Bloomberg that did not go over well.

• Xbox President Bond on...
Previously: After the closure of several studios and cost-cutting measure have been implemented the unfortunate Xbox news today is that more layoffs and cost-cutting is to come. That's per Jason Schrier over at Bloomberg who is saying that Matt Botty and other leaders at Xbox made comments at a meeting that seem to indicate tough times ahead. Tom Warren at the Verge is also reporting that Xbox wants smaller games with prestige and awards days after shuttering Tango Gameworks who made Hi Fi Rush. More Xbox Layoffs. More of a AAA focus. Fewer Risks. That's that it seems like the Xbox strategy will be. Along with a potential Xbox Game Pass price increase.

@SKOTxFREE 11 дней назад

You know when people were saying Xbox reminded them of Sega I disagreed BUT now they really do remind me of Sega in that the real reason for Sega’s downfall wasn’t Saturn per se but more of the jealously and meddling of Sega Japan over Sega America. The same I suspect is happening now within MS over Xbox.

Or maybe Zenimax just decided to pad their portfolio with projects they could not sustain to entice buyers. "As reported by Bloomberg, head of ZeniMax Jill Braff reportedly said during a town hall meeting on Wednesday it was hard to support the studios globally "with a lean central team" and various projects in the works. "I think we were about to topple over,"Braff said."

To be fair, I thought the Activision/Blizzard deal was a bad one in terms of price at least (should've been like half the price in my opinion). Activision/Blizzard was in bad shape then so definitely wasn't worth the price Xbox paid for it. King was the only thing keeping Activision/Blizzard afloat in my opinion.

I think now she has maybe reached her limit in rising through the ranks and knows she's now at a dead end. Thus, she's feeling it, she wants more out of her career, she's a career woman. People can feel sorry for her on many levels and just because she earns "Tons of money," doesn't mean they can't legitimately feel sorry for her, that things aren't going Sarah's way and that they know Sarah can see the writing on the wall.

Their messaging is all over the place and inconsistant even over the SAME ANNOUNCEMENT (Xbox store). MS has dumped so much money into XBox via the acquisitions, it now appears that they no longer have the autonomy they once had before. Now the Eye of Sauron had locked in on them. I hope they figure it out, but I think a lot more pain is coming.

I've been saying this for a while, and also shared on other channels: Sarah Bond used to work for Mckinsey & Co. That's all you need to know about her. Big 3 consulting does NOTHING but cut costs and fire staff. She has zero background in gaming besides her stint at ESA which really was a nothing role. Xbox is being driven into the ground and is failing their core audience. I cancelled my XBGP sub today, after not having even used it for the last 6 months. I have more fun anyways playing emulators and buying games for cheap on Steam. I'll admit, I was excited for the future of Xbox. I feel into Phil Spencer's vision. I thought the Series X/S era was going to be different. I thought GamePass was going to be great value. I was wrong. Suits are driving the Xbox division into the ground. When you hire people from Big 3 consulting to run something like video games, you're going to fail. I'll stick to my emulators, PS1/GBA/SNES classics, and Steam sales.

Tango apparently had around 65 devs and Hi-Fi Rush took 6 years to develop. Lets assume the average dev makes $100K/year, this puts the cost of labor alone (no office, computers etc.) for this game at almost $40 MILLION (65x0.1x6=39)... That's almost half of the budget for GTA IV!!!

Never mind the fact that XBOX Management did their usual and not involve themselves in managing the internal issues of one their Studios developing something their Devs admitted their heart wasn't in making.
