“I’m sharing changes we are making to our Bethesda teams”.
We’re all somewhat in shock by today’s news surrounding the closure of four Bethesda development studios, including the teams behind the likes of Hi-Fi RUSH and Redfall. While it’s hard to wrap your head around why Xbox would go out and buy these studios only to shut them down a few years later, Xbox’s internal email on the matter does give us some insight as to why Microsoft has made this move.
As per IGN, Xbox’s Matt Booty addressed employees about the closures today. Booty said “the changes are grounded in prioritizing high-impact titles” and that it wants to invest in “Bethesda’s portfolio of blockbuster games and beloved worlds” - hinting that basically; Microsoft wants to focus on bigger releases and stronger IP over at Bethesda. Here’s a bit more of that statement:
On the whole I agree with this, I’m just trying to be positive. The world needs it’s now more than ever aha.
Microsoft isn’t having large good games though according to most critics, which is the problem they’re trying to “fix”. I think all the games have been from decent to good. But a lot of people aren’t happy with it.
That is a good point. This is why we need unions and why we need regulations.
Your positivity is appreciated, and your right. I really wish things would turn around. It’s gotten so silly to hear a company head talk about passion when they are vampires. Redfall vampires.
On a scale of bram stoker to twighlight where are redfall vampires?
It looked so bad I never installed it
