What are the reasons for which Microsoft would have chosen to transform the first party games of Xbox in productions multiplatform? Timdog apparently has clear ideas on the matter, based on what some sources who claim to be close to the matter have told him.
During a livestream, the insider reported hearing that Call of Duty may not be coming to Xbox Game Passand that sales of Xbox consoles have been below the company's forecasts, despite the fact that in the last three months it was possible to buy a Series X for just $350.
It even seems that demand for Xbox One was higher than for Series hardware is a closed chapter given that the results worsen from year to year and this makes Game Pass unsustainable, which should be able to count on an adequate installed base.
According to Timdog's sources, Microsoft is determined to get it a return from the huge investment made for the acquisition of Activision Blizzardand the leaks of the last few hours would have occurred because a company employee who disagrees with these decisions is trying to ensure that there is a change of heart due to user complaints.
The Redmond house would have no problem making further acquisitions, if their games were destined to land on different platforms. In this sense, according to Timdog the Xbox ecosystem will become completely digital, with advertising on Game Pass (at the beginning and/or at the end of a game chapter) and the use of artificial intelligence as a community manager.
Lots of reactions
As reported in the last few hours, the reactions of the Xbox community to the rumors have been very bitter, with Timdog himself and other professionals close to the Microsoft ecosystem in obvious difficulty in the face of this situation.
A clarifying intervention from Phil Spencer is absolutely urgently needed, or in any case a sign from the management of the Redmond house that can bring back some order, confirming or denying the rumors that are circulating with ever greater insistence.
