Story Highlight Ben Starr is furious with Xbox for repeatedly lying to its employees before layoffs. The Expedition 33 VA said the company provided false security to its employees. They did it again recently by promoting Ninja Theory’s Senua as an Xbox-funded project. The whole Xbox Reset situation is the talk of the town right now. After thousands of layoffs, the company is being called out by many in the industry.

Story Highlight Xbox is currently going through a major reset that has led to thousands of layoffs. Despite the layoffs, Blizzard Entertainment still has tons of projects in the works. These include new games in the Diablo universe, a StarCraft shooter, and more. Xbox layoffs have really hit the company hard. Multiple major studios have seen their workforce decrease by huge numbers, and 4 studios have also gone independent. However, one particular studio is still going strong with its projects.

Story Highlight Fans are calling out Ubisoft for extremely expensive DLCs in AC Black Flag Resynced. The microtransactions can cost $90, costing more than the game’s Deluxe Edition. There are also complaints of cutscenes being locked at just 30 FPS. After so much speculation and waiting, Ubisoft has finally released the Black Flag remake. The initial reception from critics was quite decent, with an 84 on Metacritic and no major gripes. But with the release, there are some glaring issues.
