  @BraedendotTECH 💯 if it's a you, me and peers problem then no it's not an us problem it's a system problem. Wetwear isn't designed for next token predictions. You need to let the ideas digest, marinate and think through it. This is just candy crush for adults. the 20yr olds will realize it soon

  @cheeseonearth @edwardrow The fact that they have to cram all their ******* use into the one half day they have off is the real issue with 15 hours in the candy crush mines.

  @quadrapuni @_Hero_Hei_ The only issue I have with this is they are not easy to replace. Viewing devs as replaceable commodities is how we ended up in this situation. We fired the expensive people with talent, and hired Jessica who said she played candy crush 1 time, losing all that institutional knowledge.

  @SmashJT The problem Anita has is that her company advocates for representation of groups that don't buy many video games. Women overwhelmingly play stuff like the Sims or Candy Crush. It actively hurts these companies when they try to market to their non-core demographics (men).

  $MSFT ’s Xbox Reset Is Bigger Than 3,200 Layoffs Microsoft is cutting roughly 3,200 jobs from Xbox, about one-fifth of the division, and the market should not file this under ordinary tech cost discipline. This looks more like a failed growth model being forcibly repriced. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma put it bluntly in the internal memo: “Our business today is not healthy.” Then the line that matters: “We must reset XBOX.” The real issue is Game Pass Microsoft spent years trying to turn Xbox into a subscription flywheel. Buy studios, add content, push Game Pass, smooth revenue, increase lifetime value, and make gaming look more like recurring software. That was the theory. The problem is the numbers never matched the ambition. Game Pass was reportedly expected to reach around 77 million subscribers this year. It is closer to 30 million. That gap is not a rounding error. It tells you the product did not scale anywhere near the internal model Microsoft was underwriting. M&A did not fix the economics The Activision Blizzard deal was supposed to deepen the content moat and make Game Pass harder to ignore. Instead, Microsoft is now selling or spinning off studios, cutting more than 350 additional people from payroll, and publishing fewer games. That is not expansion mode. That is portfolio triage. Sharma is shifting capital toward the franchises that actually matter: Minecraft, Candy Crush, Fallout. Everything else has to earn its place. The margin told management the truth Xbox revenue fell in the March quarter, and the division’s profit margin was just 3% for the fiscal year that ended in June. For a company like Microsoft, that is a brutal number. It is especially brutal when the parent company is pouring capital into AI infrastructure, where the market is already demanding proof of returns. Low-margin gaming experiments become harder to defend when Azure and AI are carrying the equity story. The stock read This is probably not a Microsoft thesis-breaker. Xbox is not the core reason investors own MSFT. But it is a useful signal about capital discipline. Nadella is not letting weak consumer assets hide behind the strength of enterprise cloud. The bottom line: these layoffs are not the reset. They are the evidence that the old Xbox strategy already failed.

  The new boss of Xbox took one of its biggest games and put it on PlayStation, the console its arch-rival sells. It sounds like a mistake. Instead, it became the best-selling new game on PlayStation last year and has passed 5 million copies, beating Sony's own new games. That single move tells you what Asha Sharma is really doing. She took over Xbox in February 2026, after Phil Spencer, who had run it for years, retired. At Bloomberg's tech conference this week, an interviewer asked what winning would look like by 2030. Her answer was blunt: the number one gaming and entertainment company in the world. Xbox is not there yet. She even called the business "not in a healthy spot," with sales falling in four of the last six quarters. So she stopped trying to win the old fight. For decades, consoles worked one way: you keep your best games locked to your own machine, so people have to buy it to play them. Sony does this better than anyone, selling close to three PlayStations for every Xbox. Sharma looked at those odds and walked away. Now she sells Xbox's games to the people who already bought a PlayStation, and last year Forza, Doom, Indiana Jones, and a stack of others showed up on Sony's console. A 70 dollar game brings in the same 70 dollars no matter whose machine you play it on. The bigger prize is reach. A few years back, Microsoft paid 75.4 billion dollars for the company behind Call of Duty and Candy Crush, the most expensive deal gaming has ever seen. Candy Crush alone has more than 200 million players a month, most of them on their phones, not on an Xbox. Count every phone, PC, console, and TV, and a Microsoft game now reaches over 500 million people a month. Sony's online network reaches 132 million. Her other moves point the same way. She cut the price of Game Pass, the monthly games subscription that works like Netflix, after admitting last year's price jump had chased people off. Sign-ups started climbing again. She scrapped an Xbox AI assistant because players did not want it and it solved no real problem. And she revealed the next Xbox, a machine built to play both Xbox games and PC games. None of this is a sure thing. The chips Xbox needs keep getting pricier instead of cheaper, because the AI boom is buying them up, and Sony still crushes Xbox on console sales. What Sharma has done is change the scoreboard. She is racing to reach the most players on every device that exists, and by that count, Xbox already sits near the top.

  Having knowledge of both worlds, there is a reason why the classics are the classics and what a rando 19 year old from Hong Kong makes will be forgotten in the next 20-50 years. It's something you can learn to feel. You can learn to have the good taste to understand the difference between contemporary works (as good as they are) and classical works. I don't mean this in a snobby way. I remember a decade ago when the game Undertale was all the rage. Where is it now? Do people still talk about it? Do people even care about it? On sale for 75% on steam. Now, will there be "classical video games"? I don't have doubts here actually. It will be curated, however, and it won't be any random video game. Candy Crush (3B+ downloads) likely won't be there. Maybe the random 19 year old from Hong Kong will make something that transcends its time and place, but I wouldn't bet on it. Every year there is a top-100 chart. How many of those songs will be played 100 years from now when all of the teenagers who listened to it during their formative years are no longer there? The classics may be limping along now because we are in an era that does not appreciate transcendental beauty enough. Even people trying to produce new art in the classical form have this problem (this is at least true in classical music/opera space). But the hope is that it will survive and limp along until another Mozart or Handel or Bach comes along. And despite all of the troubles the classics has, you can still listen to pretty rare/obscure pieces if you want and appreciate them along with the commonly appreciated ones.

  @Lfromthenorth @TenshiTTV I don't mean that you are lying. But here is my problem: people online are just nicknames. You can say, well, but there are games where voice is a must. Ok. But SC2 or non-teamed shooters are not like that. Still, we do not see girls playing them. Unlike Sims. Or Candy Crush.

  @arcanistsaphras @56pearo People have a problem with the direction the entire art is taking and the other person is spot on the money with blaming you for it. Saying "its not that bad" because they throw you crumbs is the saddest form a consumer can take. I wish people like you would stick to Candy Crush

  Xbox just hit reset. Hard. 🎮 Microsoft is cutting ~4,800 jobs — 2.1% of its workforce. Xbox alone faces ~3,200 cuts through FY27, with 1,600 roles gone immediately. And four studios are leaving Microsoft’s gaming empire. This isn’t just “layoffs.” It’s Xbox admitting the old playbook broke. Game Pass + multi-platform + buying studios was supposed to make Xbox unavoidable. Instead, Xbox got stuck with: - lower margins - weaker console momentum - rising hardware costs - too many management layers - too many bets chasing too little return Translation? Microsoft doesn’t want to own every cool studio anymore. It wants fewer experiments, bigger franchises, cleaner execution, and businesses that actually print money. That means more focus on Minecraft, Candy Crush, Call of Duty-scale IP, PC, mobile, cloud, and subscription economics that don’t bleed quietly in the background. The AI angle is subtle but important: Microsoft says these roles aren’t being replaced by AI. But AI is clearly changing where Big Tech spends money. Less headcount in slow-growth units. More capital toward AI infrastructure, cloud, automation, and high-margin software. For Xbox, the next chapter probably looks less like a console war… and more like a platform war. Xbox everywhere. Fewer studios. More discipline. More pressure on Game Pass. And maybe fewer “passion projects” unless they can scale. Bad news for nostalgia. Good news for Microsoft’s margins. Scary news for any studio that doesn’t look like a platform. Unpopular opinion: This reset was coming the moment Xbox started acting like Netflix without Netflix-level pricing power.

  The art of warming up. I never realised the importance of warming up until I pulled my hamstring. I am trying to get my life sorted, rebuild myself and share the journey, and it’s chaotic because there are so many options. Writing is one of the greatest passions I own, and sometimes it seems like I have nothing. Nothing comes up, no ideas, no thoughts, just nothing. Fed up, I stand up and go on a run. That’s where I pulled my hamstring. Nothing serious, but the issue was that I just didn’t warm up. Basically, I couldn’t perform. Same with my pen and paper. Couldn’t perform. Maybe I could have warmed up cognitively. But how. I thought I’d play a little Candy Crush before writing. Or Tetris. And yes, turns out you do have to warm up. Great writers do that. They take a paper and write whatever comes to them. Literally anything. The other day I wrote about, well, I don’t know how to sound not disgusting, but my problem with digestion and after digestion (phew!) And that led me to think of so many ideas. It was a drastic change. Not that writing about THAT helped me, but writing about anything before actual writing helped me warm up. Cognitive warm-up. That’s a real thing. It's the bridge between having nothing and having everything

  @MR3Dev It's because dev teams are bloated with a bunch of fake girl boss jobs for non-gamers. Because so many devs now are non-gamers, they can't compete in the arena of ideas regarding design and gameplay. Cause the only game they ever played was Candy Crush. So they instead focus on every possible thing possible EXCEPT gameplay because they don't understand it. This is why we get such a push for accessibility. "Blind people aren't competitive in our racing game, how can we solve this?" Or "some people have anxiety, how do we make it easier for them to complete all the achievements, too?" These non-gaming girl bosses scour the internet looking for feedback and complaints they can champion like they're feeding the poor or saving the world. This is why we end up with 15 page options screens, because a girl boss found the one person n the world who has a specific edge case issue and so she advocated for an obscure option until real devs finally gave in to shut her up. Or maybe you're making a card game, but non-gaming girl bosses like Anita Sarkeesian demand you add a "phobia mode" for people who might be triggered by the names of certain cards. When you're trying to ship a game and you're carry 30-50% of a dev team focused on everything EXCEPT the gameplay experience itself, you can start to understand why games are so ******* expensive to make.
