Me too. The writing is on the wall, especially if you’re at a small studio working on “small” games like Ninja Theory or Double Fine.

Why are they targeting Zenimax so heavily, don’t they have 50 other acquisitions they can suck the blood from

Give it a year. Thankfully Toys for Bob was able to buy themselves out, otherwise surely they would have either been shut down or put to work in the Call of Duty mines.

Why are they “cost cutting”? Are they going broke or something?

Welp, reckon it’s time I take my happy ass down to the local used game store and sell my Xbox. Thing’s collecting dust anyway. I think I’ll get a new camera lens instead.
