I just hope...well Asha has been talking alot about how expensive hardware got and my only thought it. "why sell it when we can rent it" ...A hard push to cloud gaming would be the death to gamers freedom. features like fps, quality and even playtime locked behind a paywall. Nvidia already started this trend with gforce now. How long before the rest of the industry picks up on it?...How long before they lock games behind it so the only way to play said game is to subscribe for cloud gaming...the future is uncertain, and corperations are greedy. what's in our best interest is often put last.

BLOODBATH AT XBOX 🔥🎮 🔥
Microsoft's Xbox division faced another wave of uncertainty on June 15, 2026, as reports surfaced about potential studio closures and ongoing restructuring efforts.
Under new leadership from CEO Asha Sharma, the company is pursuing a broader "reset" of its gaming operations following years of revenue challenges, high costs, and an expansive studio portfolio built through acquisitions. This comes amid plans for significant job cuts expected after Microsoft's fiscal year ends on June 30.
While no immediate mass layoffs or shutdowns were executed yesterday, the day was marked by intense speculation and insider reports highlighting specific studios at risk.
Several first-party studios entered active negotiations with Microsoft to potentially avoid closure or spin off as independent entities.
Compulsion Games, the Montreal-based developer known for We Happy Few and the upcoming South of Midnight, faced particularly strong rumors of shutdown, with leadership reportedly in talks. Double Fine Productions, the San Francisco studio behind Psychonauts and other creative titles, and Ninja Theory in Cambridge, England, makers of the Hellblade series, were also named as being in discussions over their futures.
Additional studios across the portfolio were described as at risk, though details remained fluid and some employees were already exploring external opportunities.
Leadership changes added to the turbulence, with Xbox Game Studios head Craig Duncan and chief of staff Louise O'Connor departing the company. Matt Booty, chief content officer, is temporarily overseeing the affected teams.
These developments align with broader cost-cutting measures, including reduced marketing spending and a focus on addressing what executives have called an "overextended" structure after rapid growth.
The situation remains in flux, with outcomes possibly including independence for some teams, job reductions, or project cancellations rather than outright closures in every case.
This episode reflects ongoing industry pressures as Microsoft seeks a more sustainable path for Xbox following previous rounds of cuts in prior years.
What do you think?
Who's next? 🪦💐

well Bungie was bought because they where the industry standard for live service and promises where made to help lead the charge in live service bangers from what I understand and turned out the exact opposite happened!
This situation comes with bad, but also some good. I just hope all this talk about how expensive hardware is from Asha lately there isn't going to be a hard push to cloud gaming and start locking features behind it.
as Nvidia is already doing...
Cloud gaming imo is the death to players freedom. Locking fps, quality and even playtime behind a paywall.

@Chiefdanyey I think this is it crashing down lol. I'd they are talking about spinning Xbox off or selling it, seems they've hit the bottom.
Can't believe it got this bad :(
Bungie was Sony, though. Their own bag of issues lol

Holy crap, how does this happen right after they announce "Senua"?
CG and DF possibly leaving also really sucks. All this building MS did for this generation only to see the strategy

Xbox is closing down Hellblade creator Ninja Theory. Compulsion Games and Double Fine are also in “active negotiations” about spinning off theverge.com/games/950204/x…

open world!! If you KNOW for a FACT you'll just encounter NPC's. it gets safe, and eventually boring. who knows what their technical limitations are when it comes to everything being on the same server. I'm just worried they'll start instancing things and we wont even know. there's a good and bad to that depending on the intent.

Open world… or instanced?
Star Citizen opened new instancing tests overnight while Alien Week, fresh Alpha 4.9 roadmap cards, and a two-hour Tech Talk all arrive this week.
A busy few days may reveal where the game is heading next. 🚀 #starcitizen

Thank you for reminding everyone why women don't deserve rights.

Extremely pleased and relieved that this Labour Gov is banning social media for under-16s. As a mum of a pre-teen, it’s the thing that keeps me up at night. I know many of my constituents feel the same. That’s why I called for a ban, and I am delighted we’re implementing one.

@MattPinner_ I'd probably have a business plan ready in a nice black folder then ask for his help! lmaoo

@AnthropicDualiT @RobertsSpaceInd @CloudImperium it's a very nice screen shot. and you tied it to a good memory! good on ya! hold on to that when things like 4.8 keep happening! lmao

I dunno why, because it's nothing special, but this has always been one of my favorite screenshots, was the end of a Hathor event, Crater all mined out, we loaded the last box into my Valk as Our capital ship and support ships took off to form up for the trip back.
I only took like 3 screenshots in 6 hours (very unlike me) but we had so much fun, massive pvp fight for the station on foot and I'm space. I was with @Warlock_RS and the rest of RIP Squad. One of the best times I've had in game since the PU went live in 2017

Is it too early to apologize to Asha Sharma?
Come on, give us some games completely devoid of woke crap and Gamers will fully back you! @asha_shar

@Chiefdanyey @ForzaHorizon The cheats never get banned or penalised. I'm glad that the most of them stopped playing Forza Motorsport as I have better fun there now. I mean you get a deserter penalty for just quitting a game/match on Smite 2. Ffs
