    Very lengthy article . .

    One former developer recalled men asking women to take notes during meetings, ignoring their expertise, and even making sexist remarks like, “You don’t look as pretty as normal today,” and “I’m surprised a girl like you has this job.” “We had to have meeting etiquette rolled out because men kept talking over women so badly in all the meetings and belittling them,” said another former developer.

    Current and former developers also blamed Holt for pushing out two director-level women at the studio by not giving them the support needed to succeed and hiring men over top of them in the hierarchy to absorb their roles. “It was really a pattern where women were uprooted and men were protected and helped,” said one current developer. “[Studio leadership] didn’t want to upset anyone unless it was a woman.”

    “There was a guy on the SOD3 team who was being blatantly sexist, and Anne didn’t do anything about him,” alleged one former developer. There was a manager of the Tech Art team who was awful that Anne sided with, and lo, nearly the entire tech art team quit.”

    “The weirdness with the demos boiled down to Philip putting pressure on the team, not Xbox,” said one former developer. “Philip was pushing us because he was obsessed with proving himself as a leader inside Xbox Game Studios. He was using this as leverage to further his own career and image, at the cost of the developers.”

    In mid-February, Holt held an all-hands meeting telling staff a negative story about gender discrimination could be coming, and to not discuss it on social media.

    You mean the Arena Mode? I thought it was a limited time mode.

    Arena pubs and ranked are permanent.

     

    There's another limited time 9v9 mode called Control, it's going on right now, worth checking out.

    Have been playing for a while now, casually every other night with my irl friends, hit level 500.

     

    Playing more ranked this split, maybe will make it to Masters by the end of the season. Lets see. 

    Playing ranked with squad or solo? 

     

    Tried solo and I barely made it to Diamond once. sh*t is too addictive, I've left ranked for good :P

    Joke of an offering. If this is going to be the usual quality of games on offer, why would anyone bother paying extra for the higher PS plus tiers. At this point, I don't trust Sony to provide a steady stream of quality games on their game subscription service.

    I thought this might happen once upper tiers launch, so they can push essential tier users to extra or deluxe tiers. Looks like they started early :rofl:

    There'd be a lot more bans if there was 90% personal attacks.

     

    Fanboyism? Sure. 

    But hating on someone or some people because they like something you don't?! Spartacus hasn't even launched, some of us are looking forward to it, but as per xboner we're all dumb because he/she thinks Spartacus is trash and we shouldn't be looking forward to it?! :rofl:

    What both ways?!

    This goes for everyone, no matter which platform.

     

    If I had said Crackdown 3 is trash, I wouldn't follow that up with 'anyone who plays crackdown 3 is also trash', if that person enjoys something I think is trash, good for him/her, whatever tickles their funny bone.

    MS is committed to making epic SP games while Jimbo is focused on creating at least 10 GaaS games in the next 3 years. 

    How the turn tables. 

    Hulst said they'd pursue Gaas titles while parallely working on the usual single player games, don't think they're abandoning one for the other. Besides, if even 2 of those 10 sticks the landing, it's a win, something MS has miserably failed with Halo Infinite.

     

    Also, last time I posted vgchartz I was put down here and told they're not accurate and only guesstimates without proper XSS and XSX numbers :(

    Gamepass Ultimate vs PS Plus premium
    $180 - $120
    400+ games - 700+ games
    4 free games (crap) - 2 free games (also crap)
    On PC - not on PC
    all games downloadable - PS3 games streaming and PS1,PS2 PSP games downloadable
    50+ day 1 release in 2021 vs no Day 1 release (demos)

    Shadow warrior 3 was day 1 launch on PS now. Going forward it should have third party day 1 launches, but not first party titles like it's in GP.
