  • Summary

  • XBOX: THE OUROBOROS OF THE GAMES INDUSTRY.

    We were planning for this week's topic to be of a much lighter nature, but the one we picked instead was too big and too infuriating to ignore. Xbox/Microsoft has been the poster child for bad business decisions ever since the reveal of the Xbox One eleven years ago, and they've only gotten bafflingly worse. From layoffs, to cancellations, to near-100 Billion dollar acquisitions of megacorps setting worrisome precedents, they've been notoriously bad at being a game company, but the news from the past few days has taken the cake. Xbox announced they were immediately shutting down four of Bethesda's Studios for the most infuriating and baffling of reasons, and we have a lot to say about it and the man at the head of it all. So, tune in as Alec and Brian dig into Microsoft, their issues, the fallout, and what needs to change before they fall apart entirely.
