Not every large game company acts this way.

I'd like you to name a large game company that hasn't done this, I'm not aware of a single one.

This is also not what he did at all - he didn’t restructure the studios after buying them, he closed them and laid off their employees.

Incorrect, employees are being moved to different studios. I'm unaware how many, if any, are being laid off. For example, Roundhouse is being assigned to Zenimax who run Elder Scrolls Online which is admittedly actually a pretty cool game.

He’s a known liar (just a year ago he claimed Arkane will continue to polish Redfall, now Arkane Austin has closed before giving people DLC they already paid for)

A corporate hack who is in touch with what gamers want is still better than some other out of touch corporate shill, as the state of gaming exemplifies every single day. On the subject of Redfall, it's no surprise that studio got shut down after the incredible failures at launch, they clearly were never qualified to work on the title anyways, and that's hardly Phil Spencer's fault.

Why are we quoting each other? I remember the comment before yours. I made it. Idiot.

Because quoting in a response provides structure to the response that improves readability.

Also, you are posting on a publicly accessible forum, not having a one-on-one conversation. In that context, that fact that you may remember what you said doesn't mean that it's not beneficial to repeat it for others.

The "idiot" comment was unnecessarily rude where someone was engaging in what appeared to be a good faith response, and only brings down the tone of your entire post.

It feels like people do it so commonly while making such weak arguments that it might be a bot trying to parse the prior comment. Feels like it doesn't have use in any other circuimstance.

Idiot.

I know you're banned, but for when you come back, there are several reasons.

It let's people make a response to specific parts of what you said.
It helps outside folks see the train if thought
For me personally, it helps organize ideas and see the comment response closer together

I'm sorry. You're right. Feel free to eat my ass.

[–] Gaywallet 21 points 6 months ago

I've given you a 7 day temporary ban to reflect on how you might better engage with the community in the future. Bee better

Multiple teams are being cut, at least at Arkane Austin. I don’t know the total heads rolling. Many of my friends are now out of a job. The severance isn’t terrible, at least for some of the engineers. That’s not better than a job, though.
