After Microsoft laid off over 9,000 employees, forced gamers to "digital only," and raised the prices for their consoles/microtransactions/gamepass... now this:
M$ is raising the price of development kits to $2,000. That's an increase of about 33 percent. Its crazy. The consequence will soon be clear: There will be fewer games on Xbox from developers in the future. Additionally, some developers are planning to stop releasing disc versions on xbox. It's simply not worth it. Personally, I find it unbelievable how one of the richest companies in the world is targeting gamers and now developers in order to maximize profits.
What's your opinion? Calls for a boycott of xbox are growing louder, worldwide. However, statistics and, above all, money seem to be far more important to Microsoft than everything ?!
