In an email to employees that was shared with Windows Central via an anonymous source, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer wrote that 1900 jobs (out of an existing 22,000) were being cut in order to set a âsustainable cost structure.â
Can afford $69,000,000,000 ($69**B**) to purchase Activision, but cannot afford salaries for 1,900 workers in a "sustainable" way. Even if we assume an extremely high average of $200,000 per year on average, that gives a $380,000,000 ($380**M**) total annual salary cost.
... which sixty nine billion dollars can cover for 181 years.
"Sustainable cost structure" my arse. Fuck you, Phil Spencer.
[size=10]yes yes yes I know it isn't quite this simple as far as the mathematics behind mergers and acquisitions go, but I think it is still illustrative to lay it out like this.[/size]

@"tomjonjon"#p150028 heh beat me to it
@âseasonsâ#p149679 I want the French Revolution game soooo bad. I hope he makes it one day.

@âyesoâ#p149146 sort of a little theory I have going
my new _Yakuza_ theory is that [Rikiya](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Rikiya_Shimabukuro) is Adam Sandler and [Mikio](https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Mikio_Aragaki) is Chris Farley
when faced with the shock of the new man will retreat to an idealized and reactionary view of the past and convince himself it is revolutionary
I'm obviously right about this
@âyesoâ#p150262 Yakuza isn't a Christmas game it is secretly a Hannukah game.

The best part is I didn't even have to Photoshop this one. It was already there on the Know Your Meme page.
@âxhekrosâ#p150037 yeah, Barlow did an interview and it sounds like they still want to do it, but they don't have the budget for the costumes and props. Hopefully C and D sell well
@âseasonsâ#p150300 I hope, too. A good game that is based on the French Revolution would be awesome, since it's really chaotic and interesting period.

Animal Crossingâs infamous froggy chair is in Palworld
It's not infamous. It's just famous. The frog chair didn't commit human rights abuses.
@âMnemogenicâ#p150576 Well, it's hard to say if that will continue being true. What with it being in Palworld now. Who knows what kind of influence that game will have on it
I'll see you at the hague, froggy chair
Can you show me what it looks like in the bad world?
@âtreefroggyâ#p150624 from that polygon article:
@ârejjâ#p150646 ok, now this is personal.
Speed Cops: The Line, the game that was once honored by the IC panel for having âFastest Copsâ has been fastest delisted (because of songs).

If I was a brand manager or creative director, I don't know if I would license music without negotiating a perpetual license for the use in the game. Talk about losing the long tail.
