They want to ensure their business is working well, so they shutdown the parts that were working well, and left those that are failing miserably. Logic checks out
they got the IP, that’s all they wanted.
If you didn’t buy up studios and then close them in a year, I think that would be even better for the business side of things. You know, the fact the business didn’t get arbitrarily shut down by the big corporation and all that.
But that’s just me.
Limp dick anti trust agencies approved this shit…
Like wtf am I paying taxes for here? So rich people get more of my surplus labour?
Yes
Bias confirmed
What’s healthy for the business long term isn’t healthy for the customer. Remember that.
Nor the employees, only the capitalist benefits
Right, because a healthy business consists of a sort of zombie corpse leech, not a symbiosis.
The little diner down the street where everyone has a good time every day? That’s not a healthy business.
It is very important that we twist the definition of every word to ensure people understand how bad capitalism is. Language and the ability to think is secondary to the great Revolution Take 25!
You see, our stock price goes up when we buy other companies and it goes up when we fire people. We’re doing both at the same time, so our stock price will go up double. This is a sustainable business model and not at all a very dead canary in a very deadly coal mine.
Yes, the modern mindset. Murder the product, preserve the manager’s paygap.
You know what would be even better for the long term? A large variety of games with less bullshit. Suck it, Microsoft.
Who’s taking bets on when they’ll buy the next studio?
After the fight they had to put up for Activision, it will likely be a while.
‘“You know, we’re a platform where you can play Grand Theft Auto but you can also play Palworld. Where you can play Call of Duty and can also play Pentiment. That doesn’t change,” she said.’ - yeah but now I can’t play HiFi Rush 2 :(
Funny how they praise success these studios achieved before suddenly slamming the door shut and firing those people, but 343 has literally been fucking the corpse of Halo for 12 years now and you still funnel then millions of dollars to keep ruining everything.
She mispelled “investors will be happy next earning call”
Well, it literally says “business will be healthy” so yes that’s what that means
