IMicrosoft ibonakala sengathi inqume ukuthi indlela yayo yokuvala izandla nabathuthukisi ayisebenzi, njengoba idinga ukulawula okuqondile Xbox ama-studio.
Ngemuva kwayo ukutholwa kwe-Activision Blizzard, iMicrosoft yenza izinguquko zangaphakathi endleleni eqhuba ngayo isigaba sayo se-Xbox, ngokusho kwememo ethunyelwe kubasebenzi yi-Microsoft Gaming Isikhulu esiphezulu uPhil Spencer.
Ngakho-ke, abanye abantu bathuthelwa ezikhundleni ezintsha, kodwa ukuguqulwa okuthakazelisa kakhulu ukukhushulwa kukaMatt Booty kusuka inhloko ye-Xbox Game Studios kuya esikhundleni esisha ngokuphelele sikamongameli Wokuqukethwe Kwegeyimu kanye Nezitudiyo.
Akuzwakali kuhluke kangako endimeni kaBooty yangaphambili kodwa into eyodwa egqamayo ukuthi uzobe engamele iZeniMax Media kanjalo neBethesda nazo zonke izitudiyo zayo, njenge-Arkane neMachineGames.
'Imidlalo emihle ibalulekile kukho konke esikwenzayo,' ifunda imemo kaSpencer njengoba yabiwe I-Verge.
'Sikholelwa ukuthi inhlangano enwetshiwe yokuqukethwe kwegeyimu - eyenza i-Xbox Game Studios kanye nezitudiyo zokuthuthukisa ze-ZeniMax zisebenzisane ngempumelelo ndawonye - izonika amandla lezo zitudiyo ezisezingeni lomhlaba ukuze zenze umsebenzi wazo ongcono kakhulu ekukhuliseni iphothifoliyo yethu yemidlalo ethandwa ngabadlali.'
Umongameli weZeniMax kanye ne-CEO uJamie Leder usigcinile isikhundla sakhe futhi zonke izitudiyo zeZeniMax zizoqhubeka nokubika kuye. Kusukela manje, nokho, uLeder uzodinga ukubika kuBooty.
Imemo kaSpencer iyanezela: 'Ukujulisa ukubambisana kwethu futhi kusheshiswe ukufunda ngokuhlanganyela, inani labaholi beZeniMax manje selizobika kulabo baholi beMicrosoft umsebenzi wabo ohambisana kakhulu nabo.'
Konke lokhu kuzwakala sengathi iMicrosoft ifuna ukuzibandakanya kakhulu nanoma yini iBethesda esebenza kuyo, okuphambene nendlela yokuvala izandla inkampani evame ukuthathwa nezinye izitudiyo zayo.
Khona-ke futhi, leyo ndlela yokususa izandla iye yabonakala iyingozi ezimweni eziningi. Kusolwa njengembangela yoku izinkinga zentuthuko e-The Initiative futhi izimo zokusebenza ezinobuthi e-Undead Labs. Kuyamangaza ukuthi, kuvele ku-Microsoft overcompensating ngenxa yokuthi ngaphambili ibisinda kakhulu ngezitudiyo zayo.
Iso eliseduze leMicrosoft kuZeniMax neBethesda nakho kungaba yimpendulo ekwethulweni kwe-Arkane's. I-Redfall. Umdubuli we-vampire co-op wakhokhiswa njengenye ye-Xbox enkulu ekhethekile yango-2023, kodwa wabonakala engaphansi kakhulu, kokubili ngokugxeka nangokwezentengiso.
Ngisho nangesikhathi sokuthuthuka, abasebenzi baka-Arkane babengebona bonke ababetshale imali ekwenzeni lokhu futhi babenethemba lokuthi iMicrosoft izoyenza vele ukhansele iphrojekthi yake yabathenga. Ngeshwa, akuzange.
Kukhona ibhalansi edingekayo mayelana nokuthi umshicileli unokugada okungakanani phezu kwezitudiyo zakhe futhi manje njengoba iMicrosoft izame lezi zindlela ezimbili ezeqisayo ngethemba ukuthi ingathola indawo emnandi endaweni ethile phakathi.
