- Comment on Xbox is closing Ninja Theory, and Double Fine and Compulsion may not be far behind 2 months ago:
Isn’t this the kidna shit people said would happen before Xbox went and spent billions acquiring studios?
It’s supposed to be part of a big reset by the new CEO but they’re literally doing the same shit every other CEO has ever done when they take over. Whether it works or not remains to be seen, but losing double fine in the process fucking sucks major ass and makes me think this is a doomed pivot.

I just watched the Digital Foundry video on this and the way they fuckin glaze over this tech just disgusted me enough to unsubscribe.

How about the part where they had to use 2 RTX 5090’s to do this? One for the game and one for DLSS 5?
