During this evening's Telecom Conference, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick noted that “former Rockstar employees” tried to develop a competitor to GTA but were unsuccessful. This comment is likely referring to MindsEye, the project led by former Rockstar North President Leslie Benzies.

Xbox will be “sunsetted” under new CEO, original Xbox co-founder and console designer Seamus Blackley expects: • “Xbox, like a lot of businesses that aren't the core AI business, is being sunsetted, They don't say that, but that's what's happening. I expect that the new CEO, Asha Sharma, her job is going to be as a palliative care doctor who slides Xbox gently into the night.” • “It would have been shocking if they had somebody in there in a meaningful role who was passionate about games, passionate about the creator-driven business of games, because it would be in direct conflict with everything else Microsoft is doing.” • “Microsoft is a company that is now about enabling its customers by enabling AI to drive things,” Blackley reiterated. “That's at odds with the auteur model of any art, but specifically of games.” • Blackley described Spencer as “managing the beast so that he could continue to try to do the right thing for games” until “that finally just wore him out.” Gamesbeat Interview: gamesbeat.com/what-an-xbox-f… Gamesradar+ Article: gamesradar.com/games/xbox-wil…
