Skoro sam čuo neku procenu da je u poslednjih par godina svaki treći radnik zaposlen u gaming industriji ostao bez posla.

[Exia]

Od 2023 (od kada je krenuo exodus) nekoliko desetine hiljada je ostalo bez posla, nazalost sada se plaćaju penali za ozbiljne greške koje su napravljene u poslednjih desetak godina...a zna se ko tu prvi strada.

Bloomberg: Xbox Plans Significant*Layoffs as It Transforms Under New CEO - first major cuts in July

'Xbox is also planning to significantly slash budgets for marketing and some other areas of the business'

Pa kad se u par godina posle korone uspeh softverskih kompanija merio time ko je zaposlio više radnika. Taj podatak više nije bitan, plus pare više nisu džabe, i odoše "radnici"...

"Microsoft has reportedly shut down Compulsion Games, the studio behind South of Midnight.

The report comes after Mike Straw said employees at Compulsion and Arkane were worried about their studios’ future. He later added that some of his sources were senior staff, who said there was “real concern” inside the teams

Xbox Game Studios boss Craig Duncan steps down. Chief of staff Louise O’Connor also departs."

Kreće najavljena seča unutar Xbox a i MS Gaming divizije, izgleda da su prvi na tapetu, Compulsion, Arkane i Double Fine, a glasine cure da se ne piše dobro ni poznatijim timovima unutar Xbox sistema.


Edit: "Ninja Theory staff were told on a call today the studio is being shut down by Xbox


Ninja Theory is hoping a potential buyer can save the studio"

[DBrave]

Strašno šta rade.

Arkane je radio na Marvel Blade, ne znam dokle su stigli.
Ninja Theory bi trebalo da izbaci Senua (treći deo), deluje da je igra u završnoj fazi..

Nadam se da će Sony da ih kupi

[M.C.]

Bilo ko samo ne Sony, pošto bih voleo i da odigram nešto od tih igara u budućnosti

[Exia]

Tesko da ce iko da kesira za timove koji duze vreme nisu u stanju da naprave profitabilne naslove, onaj South of Midnight je kostao 100nak miliona i sedam godina developmenta, a prosao je jako tiho...Hellblade 2 je isto dosta lose prosao, Arkane se nikad nije oporavio od Redfall-a a Double Fine i dalje zivi od stare slave (oni jos i imaju neke sanse jer imaju tu neku klauzulu da odu u nezavisne vode)


Uglavnom u ovakom okruzenju tj kada je gaming industrija (u sirem pojmu) u "kanalu" tesko je ocekivati da ce neko da trosi novac na timove od kojih je ostalo u principu samo ime.

[dex3108]

Arkane Lyon je izbacio Deathloop a sad vec zatvoreni Arkane Austin je radio na Redfall-u. Ali ni Deathloop ni Redfall nisu ni blizu Dishonored 2 (koji sam sinoc ponovo zavrsio). Uglavnom sto se ide vise na zapad developeri su ugrozeniji. AAA industriju polako preuzima istok.

[Exia]

Istok ce preuzeti iz prostog razloga jer ti devovi tamo znaju sta vecina igraca hoce i da se gaming zajednica i nije nesto promenila zadnjih 10 ili 20 godina.


Zapadna sa druge strane...well oni su toliko otisli u kontra smer i toliko su opijeni mirisom sopstvenog prdeza da ce situacija biti jos gora (cast izuzecima kojih je realno jako malo)

George Broussard says he has heard from an internal source that Xbox could close several studios and will be like “the meteor that took out the dinosaurs.” He isn’t sharing the names but says the information came from someone inside the company. Broussard said that if the information is true, it could be the biggest round of layoffs the gaming industry has ever seen. He also claims that even the studios that stay open will face layoffs. “If it’s even close to true (and it’s from inside), this will likely be the largest single layoff event in gaming history.” “Xbox is going to be supremely unpopular for a very long time, and the devastation is going to reverberate like the meteor that took out the dinosaurs.”

Kakve pompezne izjave...

IO Interactive says it's facing layoffs after cutting ties with its partner for an in-development fantasy RPG, believed to be Xbox.

Jerk Gustafsson (jedan od osnivača MachineGames i njihov studio director) postavljen za predsednika Arkane Studios.

Nadam se da mu nije dodeljena uloga stečajnog upravnika.

In a note to staff, CEO Asha Sharma confirmed that Xbox intends to sell off or release five studios, but announced no plans for closures or game cancellations, as had been feared following earlier online reports.

Psychonauts studio Double Fine and South of Midnight developer Compulsion have effectively been released from Xbox Game Studios and allowed to continue operating as independent developers. The companies will also be allowed to keep their IP, Sharma said.

Ninja Theory (Senua) and Undead Labs (State of Decay) have been sold, Xbox confirmed, but details on their buyers have not been disclosed because the deals have not yet been completed.

Finally, Marvel’s Blade and Dishonored studio Arkane will also be divested from the Xbox business, Sharma confirmed, but details have not yet been shared due to the requirements of French law.

For the remaining Xbox business, 3,200 job cuts will be made throughout its financial year across departments, with some areas, such as its platform business, seeing more layoffs than others. This figure is estimated to represent as much as 20% of Xbox’s workforce.

According to Bloomberg, Bethesda is set to undergo a significant overhaul and will pivot to focus on its biggest franchises: Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, Doom, Quake, and Wolfenstein.
