WE LOVE WORKERS

This is true I was there

Yeah, it felt like a season-long pilot to me, in which the actual pilot is still the best episode.

I genuinely love making games am I insane

Note I didn’t say it was bad/I specifically said I’m not judging them for it - I don’t think people should stop celebrating art when things are bad. The art feels hollow when none of it is addressed at all, though.

I keep feeling so odd seeing celebrities at these awards shows. I’m not criticizing them for it, nor even judging them. It just feels a bit dystopian.

Honestly same. All-female RE dev team when?

A great analysis about the current situation. Playing games anywhere is ideal, but the miscommunication of "This Is An Xbox" marked change for the status quo. Cloud gaming has been growing and somewhat improving over the last few years. It makes sense for Xbox and other companies to pursue this path

so this is a blatant lie

Yuuuup

Alanah Streams Hi, I'm Alanah Pearce (my main channel is @Charalanahzard) and this is where I stream on YouTube! I am also always concurrently live on Twitch.

I’m planning to stream the whole thing (but I will chat much less than my usual streams - more focused on the game like in those videos!), so it’ll be on m.youtube.com/@AlanahStrea...

No the fuck I’m not

Yes, this is correct! They are going for this buzzword idea to manipulate stock. They are NOT trying to forcibly sunset Xbox.

Agree w this! The lie is that it won’t be “AI slop”. Of course it will.

I’m not sure why you’re being so aggressive about this? I’m not ‘taking them at their word’, I’m taking them at every single financial move they’ve made over the last 5 years. Their business plans are extremely transparent. They want everyone to use AI, and want to be the forefront of it for gaming.

Clearly Microsoft does not agree with that, hence hiring an AI CEO to figure out how to implement it most effectively. It’s MS using the same ‘Trojan horse’ strategy they’ve used before - they want their AI on as many devices as possible, and Xbox is one of those.

…they hired Asha specifically to put AI in gaming.

A video worth your time to check out from @charalanahzard.bsky.social, as its a more objective piece about the changes happening in Xbox's leadership and the road ahead. A far better examination than most of the coverage that comes off as doom-projecting. #Xbox

You don’t put someone with two years of AI experience in charge of a game company unless your goal is to figure out how to make that company more profitable by way of AI integration. Absolutely 0 reason to hire the head of CoreAI if you’re ’cutting it up for parts’.

You genuinely watched this video and didn’t see the argument against that…?

This is an excellent overview from @charalanahzard.bsky.social on what's going on with Xbox and the ramifications of what means for the gaming industry and consoles. There's a lot packed in to just over 15 minutes here.

This is the smartest analysis of the Xbox news I've seen.

This change at Xbox didn’t happen because Xbox is dead, or failing, or because it’s ‘losing’ to PlayStation and Nintendo. I also don’t believe Asha Sharma was hired to ‘sunset’ the brand in any way (that one doesn’t make any sense to me at all!).
Let’s talk about it:

I wish I could come up with a compelling counter-argument here, but no. @charalanahzard.bsky.social is right, as usual. It's the end of consoles as we know them (and I don't feel fine).

@richtomorrow81.bsky.social

Amongst all of the discourse surrounding this recent news regarding leadership changes at Xbox, this analysis from @charalanahzard.bsky.social is especially relevant and adds much-needed necessary context.
