Oh I read it wrong, I thought it was 500 employees resigning but shows how much support Altman had

Although if they don’t get their way it does look like a mass exodus is gonna happen

Happy for the success of another indie dev but visibility is getting worse and worse. On top of yoububers wanting money Spirittea has only a handful of reviews on MC or OC. Game journalism is failing (again).

Continuing the discussion from XboxEra Community Hangout |OT9| Waiting for Developer_E3:

I’m sure no one remembers this post of mine from a year ago (well, except maybe @CallMeCraig) but basically around the time of Musk taking over Twitter there was a pretty good thread by a Twitter user in which I predicted the likelihood of various negative scenarios coming to pass over the following 12 months.

Well, those 12 months have passed and as promised, here’s his follow-up post:

You guys been paying attention to the MS/OpenAI situation? Insane what’s happening there and if If I’m understanding things correctly MS is basically (in short terms) acquiring OpenAI for $0 :cold_face: :cold_face:

Succession has material for 2 season with this and the ABK acquisition and it is crazy to thing MS has been part of 2 industry shacking moment in the tech industry…twice…in a single year!!

Yeah it’s pretty wild and would top off an already insane year for MS, doubt there’s a better CEO on the planet than Nadella

The most insane thing is we still dont know what Altman was really fired for. I have never seen anything like this before.

Love the transparency in this thread. It’s been very cool to see Xbox become the home of indies on home consoles this generation.

Yeah, I’ve quit it altogether. Checking if there was a follow-up to that thread was the first time I’ve logged in there in quite a while. I’m on Threads instead.

It’s always a power struggle, too many chefs in the kitchen. Having 505 employees ask for the board to resign after the firing is pretty telling.

then its the most amateurish power struggle i have ever witnessed. by a mile.

I saw in the Xbox store that Alan Wake 2 is 60 euros, that is a good price, way better than most other games that are at 70 or even 80 euros. Didn’t Remedy also say that by keeping the game Digital only would mean it would be cheaper too? They didn’t lie.
