Former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden says that Xbox's recent moves imply that those involved lack an understanding of how the games industry works.
To give Xbox credit, throughout the 2020's, it's been a perfect example of how to be entirely inconsistent. From deciding to become a multi-platform publisher, to changing its mind with the likes of Gears of War E-Day, only for rumors to emerge that actually, it might change its mind again and that it was nothing more than a way to advertise to an increasingly short-changed Xbox fanbase. And sure, Xbox CSO Matthew Ball denies this, but forgive me if I'm not taking info at face value from a publisher that announced a new Senua game just over a week before reports emerged that Microsoft is apparently planning to close its developer Ninja Theory.
