    It felt like Higby lost control once Gamepass started getting popular. He did great work getting the Xbox series launched but dropped the ball on the ‘both systems need to run the same.’ Concept.

    But once gamepass started raising prices and gutting itself into different tiers on both systems and they went hard into acquisitions I was done.

    She uses the same CEO speak of our team “family” will bring it back trying to insert herself into the group but when it goes to shot it’ll be the workers fault not hers as it is with any Corperate drone put in to place. I expect more downward spiral and studio closures from them. I left the ecosystem some time ago with the writing on the wall.
