So the reason we don’t have a native XS version of MC is because *checks court documents* .. Sony don’t want a PS5 version? …. Wonder if that’s the same reason it doesn’t run via xCloud either.

Wow FaZe well and truly spanked and embarassed Optic!

That's cus Ryuu was rooting for Optic. Dude stays picking losers

New Poll: Favourite Activision-Blizzard IP?

"FY23 revenue and profit are higher than the expectations due to "World of Assassination" (WOA) and Backlog performing better than expectation. Hitman 3 on Microsoft game pass back in FY22 has also brought in considerable revenue in FY23 including the performance bonus."

"The latter two (James Bond and Project Fantasy) are done in collaboration with external partners with both internal and external publishing and financing."

"For a prolonged time including through the last quarter of FY23 the management has been in negotiations with a partner for one of the development projects. There are only a few and yet important points to be fully negotiated with the partner.... There is a strong belief that the contract will finalized and signed in the near future"

This would make sense as to why Xbox didn't attach their name to Project Fantasy despite IO Interactive technically announcing it, if the negotiations are not yet done in regards to the publishing deal, of course the above could be about James Bond though so don't take it as confirmation but it may hint that Xbox may still be publishing Project Fantasy as Jez originally leaked.

Could also be that Xbox dropped publishing so IO Interactive is negotiating with others now.

I voted Starcraft because those were fun rts games back in a day but man this poll highlights how uninspiring this AB deal is when it comes to games. What a wank of an IP list geez..

Enjoy your retirement Pete, I'll miss ya!

Loved his directness and he really engaged with the community, seems like a cool guy.

He was Head of Marketing & PR for most of his career, then left that position last year to become Head of Publishing, his former position as Head of Marketing and PR was filled quickly by Erin Losi who was in the Bethesda roundtable with Pete, since he was only Head of Publishing for a year I doubt much at all will change and they'll find a replacement quickly.

One of the faces of Bethesda has gone now though! Time for Erin to step up!

Also, he definitely got a huge pay-out from the acquisition, so he can retire at a relatively young age, lucky
