Yes we can talk about potential mismanagement on some of their older acquired and founded studios (Primarily 343, Rare & Lionhead). Yes this year was pretty pants for first party, but I am more confident and optimistic about their trajectory long term. I'm pretty sure there will be other smaller titles too. That even gives them at least an additional 6 months to slip and still hit 2023. Yet we are 99% sure they won't with Starfield, Redfall and Forza all SCHEDULED to release before June 2023. That is their short term strategy.įact is if they repeat this year in 2023 they will be in trouble. Unbelievable value undercutting everyone else. Not least what can they do with 10,000+ ABK staff? What games could they make? Yes it will take a while to change things and for that to bear new fruit, but in the meantime their current 23 game studios should start to produce and dozens of ABK games will be added to GP overnight. Though I don't like the consolidation at all, and personally don't want it to happen, there's no doubt it will MASSIVELY strengthen their portfolio.

That will lead them to success long term, and i'm sure the games will come.Įspecially if they get ABK on board too. Honestly I think all they have to do in the interim, until all their studios start producing more regularly (assuming they ever do of course) is keep doing what they are doing.

If Microsoft keep knocking it out the park with Game Pass then I don't think it really matters whether people see them as a 'games subscription service as opposed to publisher.'

Tue 20th Dec At the end of the day people just want to play good games at a reasonable cost.
