The title of this video belittles so many other studios. What is meant by ābestā?
Iām a fan of @IGN, but having worked at publishers and studios, this kind of wording does little to help the conversation. I suggest āAAAā or ātop tierā,
Watching Jason Rubinās career in video. So happy to see @yosp and Ted Price in the video. Makes me reminisce about being at PlayStation with these incredible titans.

Another great chat @thegamebusiness live event about ecosystems, community building/ co-creation and player sentiments to IP.
Understandably, couldnāt chat about the Saudi Arabia purchase.
Check out the talk when @Chris_Dring posts it.
Matthew Ball-
āXbox is core to the business.ā
But Microsoft is also looking at other ways of serving other platforms (because of supply issues)
This includes PC and cloud services.
At Games Business Live event - first panel is about Xbox and console exclusivity. There was a clear reason to put 2 games as exclusive. This is because they didnāt want Gears of War E-Day to feel like a one off.
No one in the US offices of Konami truly believed this was possible or worth fighting for at the time⦠I was on an island.
But I saw what it couldāve been. Something like Fire Emblem.
Now one of my dream projects is coming true.
A #suikoden anime!

Though it had already been devastating already this year. Itās not the end of fiscal year yet, so I imagine there will still be layoffs and studio closures before end of March.
Brace for more impacts.
I wouldnāt know, but is it possible that @bluepointgames didnāt want to do another remake/remaster?
Or what if Live service games options were all they were given for next projects?
Whatever happened, I hope they all land on their feet. They are such talented people.
I guess my record of taking pictures of retiring leaders in the game industry continues.
Phil @Xbox was very kind to give me some time to share my passion in gaming and how they are made at #DICE2026 this year.
Damn - just wanted to say RIP Vince Zampella.
Industry titan/Legend
Only met a few times in passing - super nice. Condolences to his family and friends.
