WhiteWolf Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Since dayone Initiative posting they will stay small but will make games with big ambitions. https://www.windowscentral.com/xbox-game-studio-initiative-talks-staying-small-staying-agile Studio of 70 to 100 people not enough for AAA. So Darren called up his buddies from CD, to speed up development of the game. Once first game is out then Initiative will have assets and proper foundation to work on sequels on their own.

SaiKO Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 You know Competition is better. M$ messed up in last gen, this gen they are on spree...and that is good. They are making more money with their services and their most exciting IPs will come eventually (it takes time). Moreover, fanboys from opposite side should be happy. Where's the fun defeating easy opponent? Challenge aayega tabhi na maaja!! As a gamer, you just sit on the sideline and get excited to play games on BOTH SIDE. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don't know I see no spree apart from offering content for dirt cheap so that they can move respectable units That's like the first survival instinct of any manufacturer who is/was on the verge of going out of market Yes they have made some big moves by investing in more & more studios to acquire content but it was a little too late in the lead up of the system & can hardly be labeled as a spree 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's not overkill as a business. I dunno what is. You can disagree whole day in IVG as much as you want. Doesn't make the fact wrong.

AnK Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 I was under the impression that M$ hasn't shared any gaming division specific numbers in years If they have made 15b profit out of the Xbox division i would be baffled & would gladly take my words back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiKO Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Don't worry, another acquisition is coming. It would be interesting to see more meltdown from people who's gaming platform is restricted to particular device. 1 minute ago, AnK said: I was under the impression that M$ hasn't shared any gaming division specific numbers in years If they have made 15b profit out of the Xbox division i would be baffled & would gladly take my words back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These few youtubers are a quick way to get news. Plus I never said that's only XBOX's profit. I said M$ on a spree. And that's quite true. They don't even care for how many console they sold. They care about their game service.. and that is doing really, really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnK Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Also I want to make one thing straight I have 0 disrespect for any veteran developer or industry men who may have worked on countless games,some of which I may have dearly enjoyed It’s just that it’s the foolishness of Xbox brand execs who create this falsehood over & over again & have been doing for so many years that something great & ambitious has already been materialised,when in reality they have been stuck in the trial & error phase for an eternity now They rush each & every studio,game & deal related announcement to give fun powder to their influencers & shills who hype things to the extent of every gamer out there starting to think that a lot of great things are in the pipeline. This is an outright bad business practice & every company should refrain from doing such things. It’s the developers who get bad name end of the day & the fans who are almost always left heartbroken There was absolutely no need to announce the studio in such a grand fashion 3.5 years ago when there was actually nothing on the table yet… But they are just continuing to repeat this practice till this date,as I said I won’t be surprised if they have Arcane(after they’ve won GOTY) at the centre stage at their next showcase & announce something that’s not even on the drawing board yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangit, I was led to believe The Initiative was some proven top tier dev I had never heard of. So they've never made a game before, PD is their first one, it's still in early development. Yet they're somehow equivalent to Rockstar?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
