A game takes four to five years to build. A vesting schedule takes four tofive years to finish. So the people who greenlit it have been paid and movedon before anyone finds out whether it worked.Colan Neese said that about forty minutes into this episode and it reframedthe whole hour. Microsoft moved Halo to Activision, cut 268 more roles andset five studios loose. Bungie started giving back the Destiny content itdeleted six years ago. A game from 1996 made sixty million dollars at the boxoffice. Underneath all three is the same question nobody in the industrylikes asking out loud: when the person who decides is never in the room forthe outcome, who is actually on the hook?Greg Posner is joined by Colan Neese of ScreenEngine ASI, Simon Pulman ofPryor Cashman and Justin Ruiss of BWG Global.IN THIS EPISODE- Why fourteen years and four declining Halo games produced no consequence- The opportunity cost problem: why Activision will always make another Call  of Duty map instead of reviving Spyro- Whether Halo's DNA was ever the campaign, and why the remake shipped  without multiplayer- Simon on the five divested studios: "imagine Adidas buys a t-shirt company"- What a private equity buyer would actually own if they bought one- Why subscription funding divorces a studio from cause and effect- The engineering reason Bungie vaulted Destiny content in the first place- The rule nobody states about video game adaptations, and why Resident Evil  worked where a Dead Space film would notA correction we made after recording: Ninja Theory was not sold. Microsoftcould not find a buyer, two deals fell through, and a proposed closure wasconfirmed the same day we recorded.Never Entertained is live every Friday at 10:00 a.m. Eastern.Read the full write-up: https://playerdriven.io/live/never-entertained-nobody-is-on-the-hookThe Operator's Briefing, every Tuesday: https://playerdriven.io/newsletterJoin the Discord: https://discord.gg/zdwAqvgvfyColan Neese writes Patch Notes: https://patchnotesgaming.substack.com/

Halo Studios had one job. Just the one. The layoffs at Halo Studios (formerly 343 Industries) have been brutal. The word is that only 20 staffers remain to tie up their games before the Activision relaunch. Throw another high profile AAA gaming industry failure on the fire.

Microsoft just handed the next mainline Halo to Activision, and two guys who ran a Call of Duty show for years have thoughts. Raz has been saying for five years that Halo should have made a battle royale, and he explains why it might already be too late. Jake makes the case that Halo is in such a bad spot that new developers can't make it worse, and asks what Call of Duty's monetization playbook will do to it. Then Warzone's new operator skin toggle: MW4 lets you swap every Nicki Minaj and Squid Game skin for a grounded military operator, but only on your screen. Is that the best of both worlds, or a way to please nobody? Plus Call of Duty getting Community Noted, MW4's locked carry-forward guns, and the rumored Game Pass tier with ads. GTA 6's $400 collector's edition doesn't come with GTA 6. We go through every item in the box, and it turns out to be a cocaine bundle. Rockstar's Miami takeover, the city council vote on GTA 6 beach umbrellas, and whether this is the first video game that could actually move crime numbers. Also: the WARDOGS price increase drama, Sombra moving to support in Overwatch, and Arc Raiders adding a PvE-only mode. 0:00 Intro 3:11 Patreon news and the hangout recap 8:51 Raz on Twitch and Pathfinder 10:30 Why Raz always plays evil 15:05 The BG3 dog dilemma 16:36 Remember Craigslist? 17:42 Halo is a Call of Duty studio now 20:07 Halo should have made a battle royale 22:46 Can Activision save Halo? 26:55 Bring back Forge mode 33:35 First CoD thing in the next Halo 35:57 The Halo show and video game movies 41:10 Obsidian, Rare and the Xbox shuffle 42:24 Is Xbox still a console company? 43:40 Game Pass with ads 48:27 Warzone's operator skin toggle 50:16 MW4's locked carry-forward guns 54:43 Call of Duty gets Community Noted 1:00:35 Would we turn the toggle on? 1:03:16 GTA 6's $400 collector's edition 1:05:40 It's a cocaine bundle 1:12:43 Rockstar's Miami takeover 1:16:01 Miami Beach votes on GTA 6 ads 1:20:37 Spotify x GTA 6 1:23:56 The biggest entertainment launch ever? 1:25:11 Why everyone plays evil in GTA 1:26:04 Does GTA 6 marketing even matter? 1:28:46 WARDOGS price hike drama 1:31:47 Sombra moves to support 1:37:18 Arc Raiders adds a PvE mode 1:41:00 Abandon hope, Arc Raiders fans 1:46:51 Wrap-up: Halo of Duty _Note: timestamps may be slightly misaligned on podcast apps (but not on YouTube) due to dynamic ads._ The podcast is available wherever you listen to podcasts, and ad-free & early access versions - as well as bonus episodes - are available to all of our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/thedropshot) supporters.

John continues his journey through Sea of Stars while revisiting the RPG classic Chrono Trigger, and Ryan wraps up his playthrough of Ori and the Blind Forest, sharing his thoughts on the acclaimed platformer. The news segment kicks off with a surprising Sony patent that could potentially turn PS5 controllers into payment devices, prompting discussion about where gaming hardware may be headed in the future. The conversation then shifts to the Pokémon TCG world, where scalpers are expressing frustration over the accessibility of the new 30th Anniversary Pokémon card set. Microsoft also enters the spotlight with a newly discovered patent that could introduce advertising opportunities following boss fights, cutscenes, and multiplayer matches, leading to a discussion about the future of monetization in gaming. The guys then break down the latest wave of Xbox restructuring news, including layoffs affecting teams across Microsoft, Activision, and Halo Studios, as well as reports that Obsidian will join Bethesda while leadership insists the studio will maintain its creative identity. To wrap up the episode, the Inflation Deflation Game of the Week features a review of Life is Strange on PS4, as John and Ryan revisit the narrative adventure and evaluate whether its current value matches its reputation.   Find us on TheGameDeflators.com Twitter - www.twitter.com/GameDeflators Facebook - www.facebook.com/TheGameDeflators Instagram - www.instagram.com/thegamedeflators The views and opinions expressed on this channel are solely those of the author.

As planned, Xbox started phase two of their layoffs, and this phase will include studio mergers.

We outdid ourselves again! In an even longer, supersized episode, Nick gives his early impressions of the hot new release, Control Resonant. Is Remedy's latest action title enough to get the lingering bad taste of Marvel's Wolverine out of his mouth? We also dive into the biggest industry news of the week: Xbox continues its massive internal reset, shuffling studios across divisions and making the shocking move to transfer the Halo franchise over to Activision. Then, we tackle two major discussion topics: Is physical media officially dead for video games? What is the perfect timeline from game announcement to launch day? Finally, we wrap up the show by reading YOUR listener emails about backlog strategies and community impressions of Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Thanks for listening!

 Round 2 of the Xbox Reset has arrived thanks to none of other than the Green Reaper. Joining us is Gene Park to discuss the fallout of these events. Halo is now officially run by Activision as Xbox finally chopped down 343 aka Halo Studios. It has been a long time coming as 343 managed the franchise for 15 years. Their tenure brought us Halo Anniversary Edition, Halo 4, Halo 5 Guardians, Halo Infinite, Halo Wars 2, and Halo Campaign Evolved. Almost all of these were disasters in their own way and as Asha Sharma's team cleans house, this felt inevitable in the wake of poor sales for the latest Halo remake. So, how can Activision rebuild the franchise? What direction do they take things in? Is it time to rebuild from scratch and ignore literally anything done before? Are sprint, ADS, and mantling returning features? How long will all of this take? It is a seismic undertaking and one thing is clear: another 343 led Halo game that sucks would sting, but another new beginning that results in disaster would drive us all to the point of insanity. Xbox must nail this, but that goes for a number of their IP they're now looking to nurture. Obsidian has joined forces with Bethesda and it's no doubt that these two will be at the hip for a very long time as Fallout continues to peak in popularity. What is Obsidian's creative future? Are they forever attached to Fallout or are more experiments on the way? Plus, will InXile join the fold at Bethesda eventually as the Xbox Game Studios family has become incredibly lean.

Sadly this week the only news was depressing...again! We talk about the Xbox re-org stuff like Halo going under Activision and all the other dumb and weird stuff they said. Also, Heart Machine laid off most of their employees and may not be able to continue going forward.... Despite the industry basically being a smoking crater at this point the video games themselves are pretty good! I completed Wolverine, played some Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, and played a whole ton of Control Resonant! Matt has transitioned to new games for the time being so he beat the Dave the Diver Jungle DLC, Mini Shoot Adventures, and Monster Train 2.

Microsoft is shaking up its first-party gaming empire in a massive way, reportedly handing stewardship of its flagship Halo franchise over to Activision to leverage the annualized production engine and billion-dollar blueprint behind Call of Duty. Meanwhile, former Halo creator Bungie addresses community concerns head-on after its PvP extraction shooter Marathon fell short of player expectations following the wind-down of active development on Destiny 2. Game leaders Poria Torken and Josh Dean take to YouTube to lay out a roadmap for rebuilding player trust, communicating transparently, and securing the long-term future across both Marathon and the Destiny universe.

Episode #620: Activision is reportedly taking over development on the next Halo, and honestly, this might be one of the most exciting moves Xbox has made in years. The XoneBros break down why giving Halo to a team with deep shooter experience could be the reset the franchise needs, what Activision could bring from Call of Duty without turning Halo into Call of Duty, and why a great Halo game still matters so much for Xbox.We also dig into the leaked Xbox Mythic achievement system, including the badge, the sound, the name, and why this could finally give Xbox players a real reason to go back and finish games. Mythic achievements could make 100 percent completions feel special in a way Xbox has needed for a long time, especially if they show up clearly on player profiles.Plus, we talk about RuneScape: Dragonwilds, Star Wars Zero Company, Destiny's latest apology video, and the weird pride that comes from comparing completed games. From Qbot to Elden Ring to Prominence Poker, this episode somehow becomes a full debate over what counts as a “real” 100 percent completion.Join the XoneBros as we talk Halo's future, Xbox's new achievement chase, Dragonwilds co-op chaos, and why prestige still matters in gaming. It's a big week for Xbox fans, and there's a lot to be excited about.Who are the XoneBros?We are your exclusive Xbox Series X & Game Pass weekly podcast.
