Yeah that’s what I assume, but rejecting a pitch isn’t usually called “cancelling”

This post was meant for that rumor talk but since I had to wait for4 more hours, I decided to post it here.
No matter what anyone says, ABK acquisition backed up Xbox heavily. I say this because people believe this made Xbox go with exclusive to other platform path. But when you look at Sony’s news today, this prevented a possible more severe damage than already is. If we were to believe what Microsoft said about ABK already planned layoff, then who knows what damage it was going to happen.
Now we’re learning Twisted Metal is cancelled; compare to that Blizzard survival game in which was said the game was going through hell. If the pace keeps the same as it is, the idea of PS going down first isn’t as farfetched as what if.

This game in the works for years, made alongside a tv show had no actual work put in?

oh they had put work in it. Playstation just cancelled it before giving it the green light for full production, the stage where the real money is burned.
Nintendo cancels POCs all the time. They do not fire people as a consequence.

Wasnt that successful in the grand scheme of things. Ps games dont sell the numbers of a major 1st party nintendo gsme despite 4x the budget.

Because they dont need to
Their ROI for their lazy wii u ports means theyll never need to cut costs on layoffs.
Now layoffs orobably happen at nintendo on a tiny scale.

All I have is that this news sucks and in no way shape or form makes Microsofts layoffs anything to take some sort of perspective from.
They both suck and need to start expanding into mobile more to try and grow their business if the excuse is that the gaming industry didn’t grow enough. Microsoft needs to suck it up and share the wealth with Apple and Google, or make that multi device store they have in mind a priority.

Sorry what do you mean? It’s Google and Apple preventing Xbox having a mobile store not the other way around.

They want their own store, but if that’s not happening without the government intervention. They need to suck it up and start making a bigger push into mobile gaming, what they have there already is good, but it’s not enough.
Apple wants MS to debuddle all games from cloud into separate apps. How exactly is that workable for MS and it’s customers?

That and the fees they want are ridiculous, especially the new ones they have proposed to EU regulators, I can’t remember the exact details but I think it was a €0.50 fee to Apple for every single user, every single year.
Ah I see, I think the only viable way is if the regulators do actually step in.

Fanboys are horrible, just remember that equally shitty comments were made when the Sony Japan Studio (“who the f cares!” “all they made were flops! lol” e.t.c.) closed…that otherera thread was really disgusting.
