Epic Game Store announce $130 Million loss from 23 exclusive games.
Hades and many other games announced for Xbox Game Pass.
Blizzard President Steps Down
Blizzard Entertainment's President, J. Allen Brack, steps down amid abuse allegations and a lawsuit from the Department of Fair Employment and Housing in California, sparking scrutiny of the company's culture and leadership responsibility. Similar allegations have plagued Riot Games in the past, with lawsuits often lingering for years. While investigations are ongoing, Brack's resignation suggests potential validity to the claims of covering up or ignoring abusive behavior. The gaming community's reactions vary, from calls for an Activision Blizzard boycott to concerns about overreaction. Regardless, these events highlight the urgent need to address abuse and harassment industry-wide, not just at Blizzard Entertainment.
Epic Game Store Losses
The Epic Game Store reveals a $130 million loss from its top 23 exclusive titles, raising eyebrows. However, viewed strategically, it's part of Epic Games' larger plan. With massive profits from Fortnite, these losses are investments aimed at platform expansion. Additionally, they serve as potential tax write-offs. While specifics on which games incurred losses aren't provided, interested readers can find them easily online. Ultimately, Epic prioritizes long-term growth over immediate profits with the Epic Game Store.
Hades Coming to Xbox Game Pass
Hades, a critically acclaimed game, is joining Xbox Game Pass along with other titles, marking a significant move as the service extends beyond Xbox consoles to PC users with Xbox Ultimate. Operating on a monthly subscription model, Xbox Game Pass offers a vast library of games for a fixed fee, appealing to gamers seeking flexibility and variety. This expansion of gaming services reflects an industry trend towards greater accessibility and choice, benefiting both gamers and developers by enhancing engagement and exposure opportunities.
