Listening to the second video.

Apparently Obisidian is still working on Avowed 2, even though it's cancelled. Apparently in the hopes that it'll get uncancelled.

Schreier says that Blizzard is certainly going to get hit next.

A lot of uncomfortable uncertainty for a company that has been through a lot of uncertainty

Lol 'we're investing just as much into Xbox as ever' - uh huh how?

Old news, but GamePass only hit about 30-35 million, and not the 100 million that Phil Spencer was aiming for.

i feel like this is half the reason MS is killing their studios.   avowed did not do well.  avowed 2 should not have been started.  sorry but the plan to pivot to fallout is better for this studio.

consumers as well.   all these anti-console guys are banging the drum of how unacceptable $1,000 (true) but then talk about how they "only spend $900" back in 2021.    i'm not happy about buying a $1000 ps6 but i'm sure as shame not going to pivot to a $2,000+ pc to get a similarly spec'd PC.  steam machine can't even perform as well as a base ps5 for it's $1,128 asking price.   i don't even want to imagine what a ps6 equivalent PC would cost me at ps6 launch.  if computers keep going the way it's going a ps6 will cost $2,000 and a PC will cost $4,000...

..my ps5 pro and switch 2 feel like an amazing investment right now.
