Tone deaf and very weird

Ok wokelord4206867

Only a matter of time before an idiot appeared. Thanks for not disappointing... and don't forget to chew your crayons before swallowing.

Everything about this piece is terrible.

It better say 'first, hang the greedy sumbitches, then give the IPs back to creators'

Yes. Please impart all of your business acumen, developed over years and years writing for near-minimum wage for a shit web publishing conglomerate, and tell us how YOU would fix a billion dollars industry that's crushing itself under its own weight. I won't defend Xbox, PS, or others, but please.

I would like to drag my balls across the face of whomever wrote this. And by wrote, I mean a chatbot.

I appreciate the hideous fuck being needlessly slapped on the image so I can confirm it is from the person I thought it was from without needing to click on it to check.

"We want more games made faster by less people!"

you sure seem like a stupid cunt

shut the fuck up

Here you go, hoe

Read the room.

You can’t fire devs and do more games more often and it’s irresponsible to suggest otherwise.

The Elder Scrolls?? If I haven't died of old age by the time it's released, I won't be able to afford whatever new machine will be required to play it

It is always helpful to know this guy has and still does a Tesla Podcast in the year 2026.

lookin' good there, Asmongold

This is written by a dickhead. A dickhead wrote this.

might be a radical suggestion but i hear employing developers help games get made

Did you just re-invent EA's studio model ironically or...?

Wishful thinking, usual nonsense from this guy

estúpidos

Gross! this is a terrible thing to write

this dude seems like a tremendous fucking loser lol

Lmaoooooooooooo but did they have to destroy the entire industry to say this AGAIN

Why are you fancasting instead of evaluating whether their statements make any sense against their actions?

Fuck you, man.

I think we should start hitting these people with hammers.

Have we not learned from Call of Duty that the trio studios for yearly releases just led to people skipping entries from the weaker studio(s)?

Give Halo to a studio not specialized in pvp/shooters? I'm not even a big Halo guy but this is insane. Do they think devs can just do any type of game? This author is a fucking moron.

It’s Microslop. They’re done making good decisions.

I can't write all I want to say about this dumbass article, but this quote from it seems to encapsulate exactly how I feel - thanks! "...I’ll be honest, I could write a whole separate rant about [this article], because it is indefensibly studpid."

How about we get rid of the brass?

Kinda sounds like a waste of time. Maybe they could buy another four or five studios and fire all the employees?

Another Ryan Mccafree “I’m a shithead” classic

Lmao what are y'all doing

Wow this sucks

Delete this

Ryan McCaffrey should be removed from his position immediately.

This is cruel. How are you guys this out of touch?

Have smaller studios make smaller scale, cheaper spinoffs. Or re-release/collection/remakes. Build talent and connections. Don't buy them, just do contracted 2nd party partnerships. Maybe one day they'll slowly grow in numbers and talents enough to become a first party studio. Why's that so hard.

Why are you fishing for a job at Xbox, they don't have any

This sucks man

Shut up

What an ill-advised goatee.

Guy with less than no care not only for human wellbeing but for how games actually get made

Hope asha sharma knows how to write code

Add Gears of War and Doom to the list 🔥

Genuinely tone-deaf stuff, not sure why you thought putting this out was a good idea

"Where the fuck is your chin?!"

There is no solidarity here with the union developers laid off. absolutely shameful considering what your own office has been dealing with.

“Intellectual Property” is a cursed phrase used by media and companies that don’t give a toss about anything but squeezing money from a stone.

I hate you.

The recent episode of podcast unlocked where he decided to approach the massive number of Xbox layoffs by discussing the ideal buyers for some of their studios was equally awful. Completely failed to read the room. Might be my last time listening tbh.

Here's how I'd go about using IGN's resources to write this article: wouldn't

Stop 1: Grovel for the spurned employees to come back. Just get all the way on your knees and maybe cry.

And who is going to make those? Not the people that got laid off

What in the utter fuck is this? Microsoft has promised 3,200 layoffs. The ink isn't even dry on the separation papers for the first 1,600 (while everyone else wonders if they'll be among the NEXT 1,600) and you have Ryan out here fancasting how he'd divvy up some IP between the survivors? Eat shit.

Oh, so garbage like COD and EA sports games where nothing changes cycle to cycle.

Imagine getting paid to write this after years of xbox layoffs. They've been stripping the copper wire from the walls and selling it and you think they are going to make something ever again?

Fuck you Xbox

To creative indie devs, this is music to our ears.

You'll never convince me that Microsoft getting involved in video games hasn't been a net negative for the entire industry.

How are they gonna make them, even faster than before, after laying everyone off? Unless they put out nothing but AI-generated slop, which would not surprise me from Satya & friends these days, but will tank those stale franchises even harder than they already are.

What is this bootlicking garbage man

Fuck off you corpo toadies

This is so tone deaf and gross.

IGN has some really good and decent people, but you can eat my shit and hair.

Okay this image is a gem

Bold to use a crumbling Xbox logo on a post like this

Step One: never take suggestions from the clown who 'wrote' this.

Hey IGN, this sucks

Thought experiment: What if you didn't do the work of corporations for them?
