FIREPOWER 723 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) What the fuck is going on over there at The Initiative? This is the second guy to leave his post as director at the studio. Last guy left and went back to his old job working at Insomniac This was the studio Microsoft billed as their AAAA studio designed to take on the likes of Naughty Dog and Sony Santa Monica Studio Edited March 12, 2022 by FIREPOWER Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TLHBO 2,162 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I keep saying it but the fact is Microsoft sucks. They can't create anything good, they can't sustain anything good, they missmanage everything and are now more concerned with showing how woke than are than making good products. This company is entirely kept afloat by their Windows and Office monopoly. If any other company (aside from the biggest in tech) was behind Xbox it would have gone under a long time ago. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ike★ 2,908 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Such a shame. For a company that like to reuse the same 3 IPs they have so much unused RARE properties. What an utter waste. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,918 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 What makes this more interesting that according to his Linkedin profile, he is still looking for work. So he quit without even having another job lined up, thats a bad look period and really brings the game's quality and the work environment into question. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol you guys obsess over "wokeness" and Sony is afloat some how and there's few entities as mismanaged as they are. Xbox might not be the bell of the ball but it's not the failure you make it out to be either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Remij 4,676 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Oh great MS... just great.... Their management is SO fucked "OK it's been a couple years.. what have you guys got to show us today?!" So we've made some good progress on Joanna's design and we really like where we're at 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FIREPOWER 723 Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) TLHBFR!!! This is why I don’t get hyped for MS buying studios and shit. MS are totally incompetent at managing studios. These are the same idiots you lemshits want to buy all the third party publishers? I remember when lems were getting excited MS was poaching janitors from Naughty Dog and creating a “AAAA” studio. This shit is beyond embarrassing Edited March 15, 2022 by FIREPOWER Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Remij 4,676 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 This must have been why Crystal Dynamics came on board. They were hemorrhaging developers and MS threw a band-aid on it the best they knew how. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
