    Apparently Microsoft views success as Quarterly Profits, and long term planning for the future has taken a backseat.

    They’ve been floundering for a while. Eliminating jobs only guarantees they’ll flounder even longer.

      Long term planning in general has been on a steep decline for a long time now.

        They know they’ve destroyed the planet, so why bother planning for a future they’ve already prevented.

    I’m sorry but perfect dark will always just be “that game that got made cause Rare couldn’t make a sequel to goldeneye” it was a good game but didn’t age super well and the character and world just seems a bit cheese for 2025

      Well, you’re certainly entitled to your (wrong) opinion!

      Lol it’s not for everyone, especially if you started out with goldeneye. A lot of people I play with don’t have the same appreciation for it, and that’s okay.

      And yeah, it’s so cheesy, it makes people spontaneously develop lactose intolerance.

      But much like the movie Evolution, I don’t love it because it’s groundbreaking and iconic to its genre. It’s fun for me.
