I'm very surprised by the discourse in this thread. I understand that people were given lots of warning, but that doesn't excuse that they just had their purchase recinded. Why not just allow download of an old version of Minecraft Java still?

I'd consider myself a Microsoft fanboy as I've had Xbox live for nearly 2 decades and Game Pass since it came into existence. Removing people's purchases for any reason is a scummy move.

What a weird article. When I think of hybrid I immediately think that means hybrid working model (some days in office some from home).

Having studios in two different countries working together doesn't feel like a remarkable feat in this day and age and worldwide collaboration is pretty much the norm in any sizable developer.

Whatever game they end up putting out, it's going to be Disco Elysium in name only and I hope it doesn't fool anyone into buying it.

As other comments have said, they aren't even doing game streaming, just mobile games. You can already download mobile games through heir app on a phone with a subscription.

And Steam didn't really fail, it excels at streaming games around a network. Xbox games can all be streamed with game pass and its pretty good.

The quality is so low thst as soon as she is in motion she looks like a slenderman.

From the thumbnail I thought it was a new Destiny expansion. Worth a watch though, could be an interesting co-op game.

You could put them all in hotels for less than that, with the secondary effect of stimulating local businesses. Isn't that what conservatives are all about? Or is it only when they own said businesses?

What a surprise, the company that has been proven to sway the course of elections for profit might well do it again!

Got to at least make it look like a finished product so you can write the tax off!

I also had the same question and it seems like you just need to have an Nvidia account to get it them.

I'm conflicted. Most of the current skins are kinda mil-sim, or at least a bit dystopia future. It's arcadey, but still kind of gritty. Throwing Rabbids in there is going to be wild.

I'm mainly on the fence about whether I should join Team Rabbid to troll those that want it to be serious and help pollute the lobby.

Interesting, thanks for the link!

I wonder how this is going to shake out in the long term. A lot of studios are set up in Montreal purely because of the tax breaks and it's evidently easy enough for some to close down or move away. It's certainly not going to be a destination companies will look to set up new studios or offshoots in the future if the tax breaks are less enticing than even other Canadian provinces.

Did something change with the games industry tax breaks in Montreal/Canada? It feels like a lot of Montreal based layoffs lately.

"Also, what are we creating now that will still be valued and discussed hundreds or thousands of years from today?"

Certainly not your vapid tweets, mate.

The man doesn't want the industry to thrive, he wants money in his own pocket ASAP.

Development, yes. Executives, the sky is the limit.

Especially when you have a great success, like laying off tonnes of your employees, which Embracer has been leading the charge on.

Well, they have tried shutting down most of their studios. So... kinda?

But that's how game development works right? The first game is already out there, so you can hire some cheaper and fresher developers to churn out a sequel no problem. The code is already there! Quarterly profits 101.

Hey, I don't do macros, it's all about nanonutrition these days.

You're not wrong! I could probably eat 365,000 less calories and still drastically change my body.
