I just shoving a logo on it probably, but we'll see what they do. But yeah, you can see they, they already have the city edition jerseys and they rock that. I guess you just tell them to rock that and you just call GTA night. I don't know. I don't know.

35:52But great super chat there. Let's jump into story number three. This one I don't like. Story number three. Microsoft called Age of Empires Studio before handing it over to Activision, with nearly half of the staff all gone. This coming from Tom Phillips at IGN. Age of Empires Studio's World's Edge lost almost half of all employees this week as part of Microsoft's latest round of job losses. The cuts form part of the 268 staff let go across the wider Xbox business as part of a projected target of 3 ,200 job losses forecast over the next course of this current financial year. It was announced on Monday that World's Edge would now be part of Activision, though details on how the studio's employees had been impacted remained unclear.

36:47In the days since, however, staff have now reported via social media that nearly 50 % of the company was now out of work while its next project has been canceled. Quote, I am, of course, disappointed that this is the way the time with World's Edge and Age ends for myself and many of my talented teammates that were also impacted. We had some great plans for what's next. End quote. Wrote Adam is green, formerly the company's studio creative director who had served at World's Edge for 16 years. Quote, I hope the team that remains can rise to the occasion down the line. End quote. Following that up, we have another one.

37:30Quote, our studio was reorganized to be under the Activision umbrella, added Andrew Martz, formerly a senior software engineer at this studio. As part of the reorg, our next project was canceled and a large chunk of our studio was laid off. I was part of that layoff. End quote. We have another quote coming in. Quote, it was nice working with you. Was not a message I expected to get while on vacation. Wrote another laid off staff member, former lead principal software engineer, Greg Snook. Like many others, I was cut loose for Microsoft today. Turns out my last day with building access is also my exact 25th year or 25 year higher anniversary.

38:13End quote. Really unfortunate stuff there, Brad. My heart goes out to that entire team. And of course, all 268 staff members laid off in this last round of layoffs. It really sucks. And for me as a Age of Empires fan, Age of Empires 2 being so special to me as a kid. Of course, the excitement with Microsoft and Age of Empires 4. Yes, the latest one. I really enjoyed that. I love the hands-on history lessons. I always hype that up whenever we talk about that game, when we talk about edutainment and that fun factor that they brought. It really does suck to hear all that and to hear that half of the team has now been let go.

38:54The next project has been canceled. They're under Activision. We'll see where it goes now. But Brad, are you an RTS guy? what are your thoughts on this round of layoffs? Yeah. Like you, I kind of grew up with the age of empires in our like classrooms. They had the games like loaded on the computer so we could play that. So I have a lot of like nostalgia for that. Admittedly never really played the newer ones, but obviously kind of appreciated them from afar. But yeah, I mean, my reaction to this is just, you know, that it sucks. Like it seems like there's no sort of rhyme or reason or, or plan here with what Xbox is doing.

39:28They're just kind of laying off people across all the studios. It's sort of that spreadsheet math. You know, it'll make sense reorganizing everything under different umbrellas. But, you know, Activision is not historically like the RTS company, right? And studios have different, you know, cultures. They have different autonomies. And just sort of, you know, lumping what's left of Age of Empires studio, you know, in Activision doesn't mean it's just going to work just because you put it under Activision. So it's just, it's really frustrating to see this. And I feel for all these devs, especially like you're mentioning, like the 25th anniversary, like what a way to celebrate that.

40:04Right. Yeah. That one really hurts. Right. I served at world's edge for 16 years. I found out I was laid off while on vacation. Turns out my last day in the building was my exact 25 year hire anniversary. Right. Like those are the personal stories. That is the realness of all these layoffs, right? It is very easy to glance at the page and kind of just sweep it by of 260 people got laid off. This is where we've been at for the past year plus, especially with Microsoft and the video games industry. And, of course, the world as a whole when it comes to the job market. It is easy to gloss over that and your eyes glaze over.

40:39I've read this so many times. But the personal side of it of like, man, that really hurts. That person was on vacation. Now they learn they don't even have a job when they come back home. I was celebrating 25 years. that hurts especially when you put up so much time and dedication into something like that and a company right that i give you all my time and effort throughout my life hopefully you are supported and taken care of that was always the dream but that's not the reality of where we are today right and especially for a team like world's edge who probably doesn't get a lot of love in the mainstream video game culture right rts's are a very small market i'm sure um they did a great job with giving support to age of empires two age of empires three of course age four with the latest release then you talk about age of mythology right like they had a lot of support a lot of content a lot of games out there i just don't think the market is big for an rts and i've talked about it many of times on the x cast and the recent shows of like my dream always was world's edge for somehow to be under blizzard and helping them create another starcraft or warcraft rts which is crazy that a week ago we just had announced at blizzcon rts content coming to warcraft 3 after what it was i don't know 26 years i don't forget the year is crazy right and so my dream is always well there's a talented team that understands rts's did a great job got to highlight them controller support on console with age of empires that was a big one of course halo wars did a great job as well but this team did really push controller support on a big time rts on your console that i really really love so that was my dream but the reality is clear right asha sharma came in she took in the data for the first 100 days she gave you the plan of hey i'm going to restructure i'm going to thin out a lot of what you're seeing we're going to focus on the big titles and as much as it hurts every single day that sees all these layoffs that was her plan and We will see if that pays off or not, whether you like it or not.

42:41But the plan is clear as day. She told you what's going to happen. We are now living that. And I do think that the RTS side of the gaming landscape is probably very small to look at you and go, hey, CEO of this company that has to make a lot of big time decisions. We're the team that needs to stay when it's like, I don't know if that's as popular as we all want it to be and believe in. So my heart goes out to all the people affected. 50%. We will see what they do under Activision. As you said, my mind doesn't go to Activision RTS land. So do they become a support studio somewhere? Do they find something for them on a smaller scale?

43:18Positive. You ready for this? Here's a little spin for it. The next Halo project is under Activision as well. Halo Wars. Let's figure out this team on a smaller size. Let's focus. Let's make a small Halo Wars style game. Maybe a turn-based RTS instead with Halo. I don't know. but you do have a layup there of like, maybe we can find a better path here. I'm not happy about it though, Brad. No. As much as I try to put on a strong face and grip the reality of what's happening there, I'm not happy about this at all. I really am sad about it, but I wish I could know what their next project would have been.

43:56Would it have been more Age of Empires? Would it be something different? It's another Elder Scrolls online, ZeniMax online team situation where it's like, oh we had another project but we're not going to get there and it's like oh damn i wish them all the best uh really hurts out there and you know we'll see where it goes i'll play age of empire soon just to keep it in my heart a little bit let's keep it going brad uh let's switch gears over to story number four keeping it with microsoft and xbox bethesda boss confirms obsidian will remain a distinct team, Vicky Blake at GBiz writes. Bethesda boss Jill Braff has written to all staff to confirm that grounded developer Obsidian Entertainment will remain a distinct team retaining its existing leadership structure.

44:49Yesterday, September 22nd, Xbox announced a sweeping reorganization of its internal studios. It moved Obsidian under Bethesda, transferred legendary UK studio Rare and ownership of the Halo franchise to Activision proposed the closure of Ninja Theory and confirmed a further 268 job cuts. The news was detailed via an Xbox Wire post following earlier reports of planned layoffs. In response, Braff circulated a memo to staff describing the Obsidian move as, quote, primarily a change in reporting structure, end quote, and assuring developers that the creative identity and strengths that make Obsidian distinct will remain at the core of the studio.

45:35Quote, today's announcement is primarily a change in reporting structure. The creative identity and strengths that make Obsidian distinct will remain at the core of their studio and work. Fergus and the Obsidian leadership team will continue to lead Obsidian with the studio reporting to me. Bethesda Game Studios will continue to lead the Fallout franchise, end quote. Brad, reorganizing, restructuring, putting teams under new teams. We have Jill Braff here, of course, the head of Bethesda, saying, hey, Obsidian will maintain their distinct style. They'll keep their leadership. What do you think of that?

46:14I'll believe it when I see it. I think, I don't know. again it just goes back to teams have like a studio culture is not something that can just sort of be easily folded into another one you know like how bethesda operates and how obsidian operates how you know world's edge operates like those are all distinct and different and they have their own processes and and sort of uh you know collaborations and it just seems that like you know taking obsidian and just saying hey you're kind of reporting to bethesda like you know maybe they could eventually work it out because they're all creatives and they want to make the best game possible but it just seems like it's going to create a lot more obstacles in the long run of you know an already complicated game like a fallout um you know something that big that complex complex yeah of course brad i think a lot of this is wait and see show it to me prove it to me with your actions not just your words of like we'll see in six months a year from now if that changes right but to me this reorganization was a clear and smart move by microsoft xbox and of course Bethesda of like, hey, if you're going to make the next Fallout game, why don't you report straight to the Bethesda team, not report to Matt Booty, who's going to then call this person and then call that person.

47:23We talked about Xbox and the first round of layoffs and Asher saying 19 different levels of management to try to go through. That's a lot of extra sauce to that. But truly and honestly, if you're going to make the next Fallout game, let's get you directly with Bethesda and get you as close as possible. I do like hearing as you say it's just words we'll see that hey we're not going to just start cutting jobs right as greg always brings up with these reorganizations do you need two hr departments do we need a head of the studio when there's already a head of bethesda where does this all kind of lead to and as of right now it seems like the the old school xbox approach of we're just going to let you operate but you're here with us you make the phone call to us directly we will see if that's truly how it goes when we talk about the distinct feel and look of obsidian i don't know about that as of course now they become the fallout team right the distinct world of obsidian lately has been penchment has been avowed has been outer worlds has been grounded has been these wacky small side projects that have found a lot of creativity a lot of love from the audience that were kind of like these smaller underdog stories that were totally different now.

48:36Now you're just making Fallout, right? Like, is that Obsidian? Yeah, a decade plus ago, it was with New Vegas. Obsidian now is still at its core, an awesome RPG maker, but they also have a lot more fun and different titles than just Fallout. So we'll see. I think it's hard to take away from Obsidian. Obsidian will always be distinctly Obsidian, but we'll see where they go. I mean, I love that Grounded 2 is still a thing. They're going to work on that. That's a fun passion project that I give a big thumbs up to in the survival crafting world. Being able to pick up the phone and call Todd directly and work closely with this team for this Fallout game is a very important must thing to do.

49:17We'll see where it goes. I don't think we'll get an avowed or an outer worlds ever again. But maybe I'll be wrong. Maybe they'll stay distinctly obsidian in the years to the future. No, absolutely. I think that's just the biggest takeaway. You know, it's too early to tell because they only just got the mandate to make a new Fallout game. So this is many years away still. So, you know, to see what's going to come out of this. You think it's many years? I think so. Let's talk about it, Brad, because that's the next big move, right? It's like the goal was, because it was many of years for Todd Howard to make it at Bethesda, you bring on Obsidian because you don't want it to be many years.

49:53You want it to be a few years, right? i mean i could that's obviously xbox's hope but i mean i could see you know we hear these stories all the time of you know going into through development issues and development being prolonged and i just think you know like you cut 25 of obsidian and then you make them pivot to fallout because josh sawyer was supposedly working on a fallout like game but like an original ip and then making them you know shift to bethesda and then obviously just morale as well like i I can't imagine how they must feel right now going through all this. So trying to make a big complex game, like a new fallout with all of these circumstances, I just feel like it's, it's going to be a long time.

50:32Yeah. We will see. Only time will tell. They are a very strong and passionate team over there. I wish all of these teams, nothing but the best, but for obsidian, they make some great games and we have given them so much love over the years here inside of kind of funny of like being the workhorse of Xbox and Microsoft. I hope they continue to hold on to that and keep making awesome stuff because that's what they're known for and do. But, of course, changes are big. Brad, if I'm not ready for big changes, what if I just want some small changes in my life? Where would I go seek out some small changes?

51:07You'd go to our last story, the We News channel, where we cover all the small news items you know about. Let's do it. Let's jump into We News, your fifth and final story from Order of the Sinking Star on Twitter. Order of the Sinking Star will be available October 8th for$29.99. We are also happy to be partnering with Edmund McMillan, Billy Basso, and Big Mode Games to bring you special Order of the Sinking Star slash Mugenics and Order of the Sinking Star slash Animal Well bundles. Nice. That's fun as can be right there. Okay. I was like, where are we going with those names? That's where we're going.

51:52We got some fun bundles for you. If you're interested in Order of the Sinking Stars. Brad, are you interested in this game? Not my cup of tea, to be honest. But I'm really vibing with this We Shop Channel theme music. Oh, thank you. This is really catchy. I mean, that's the team over there. They're so talented. It's legally distinct. Legally distinct. Thank you for reminding us that. From Remedy on Blue Sky, for the Control Resident launch, We are deploying a hot fix to address enemy health pools and Dylan's combat strength. Combat is more dynamic. Upgrading is made more straightforward. That's coming from Blue Sky over here.

52:32So you have a hot fix at launch for Control Resonant. So make sure to update that game so you can get the very best out of your experience. Brad, Control Resonant, you didn't bring it up. Are we interested in this one? Oh, very much so. I love Remedy. Just need to get around to it. I like it. I'm in the Remedyverse right now. I kicked off spooky season last night with Alan Wake 2. Oh, hell yeah. Amazing game. So it'll be my first time playing through that. I took a long time on that one. I'm very excited. Spooky vibes. Great start. You're about an hour and a half in. Fun. Great start. I'm excited to see this one through.

53:05It's so good. Yeah, I played Control last year. So I thought, you know what? We'll do Alan Wake 2. We'll let all the jabronis play Control Reson. Then I'll get to it here by the end of the year and have some fun with it. But I am pumped up. I really liked Control. I enjoyed the third-person shooting aspect of it. So we'll see if I like the melee combat of it. Yeah. We'll see about that one. This coming from Wario64. Quake Champions has transitioned from free-to-play to a paid title. Now it's$9.99. Free users who previously played slash added Quake Champions to their Steam account. Get what? free oh not it's now 9.99 free for users who previously paid slash added it to their steam account so if you've already had it guess what you don't have to pay the ten dollars but an interesting one here brad quake champions now going from free to play to paid what do you think about that it's a bold strategy cotton let's see if it pays off yeah this is an interesting one because quake champions should be a game that i'm interested in and want to play it's a game that i saw a long time ago and was like oh i would like to check out quake and i never did and it's a game that i never think of but somehow we've spoke about it over the past year for some reason and i'm like man we're still talking about quick champions this is wild but i think the market is really the video games industry as a whole is trying to move and change with the market as they go whether it be the free to play strategy or a full price title we've seen that many of times How do you deliver all the content to the audience?

54:40Should you just pay$10, get everything, and call it good and play the game? Is it I get out for free so I can get the maximum audience and try to hope that you buy a$5,$2 skin throughout your lifespan? It's an ever-changing and evolving market every single day with all these game developers and publishers on how they want to put out their games. And Quake Champions coming out at$10 right now does make me go, okay, interesting. What are they doing over there? I'd give it a shot. Okay, I like that, Brad. I like that, Brad. Well, that concludes We News. Let's jump into some super chats to end the show and then we'll go into you're wrong.

55:17Of course, Izzy Foshizzy writes in and says thanks for all you do. Keep fighting the good fight. Thank you, Izzy, for supporting us here at Kind of Funny with your super chats.

Shout out to wizards. One-on-one. You ever play Wizards 101? I have not, actually. Okay, yeah. Wizards 101 reminds me of an era of, like, that Toontown, I think, was the other name. Yeah, yeah. I was playing Neopets and RuneScape as a kid, and I think the next era was that, like, Club Penguin, Wizards 101, you know, that kind of level. And I think that was right when I was, like, probably in the teenage years.

56:31Pre-teens was Neopets, having a great time with that. and RuneScape just missed out on Wizards 101. I remember seeing all the commercials on Nickelodeon and on Cartoon Network, but I think I was too old at that point. I wasn't jumping into Wizards 101. But hey, Resolute says, shout out to the game. Could be good. Not my type. Not my game right now. I'm selling my soul to WoW forever. If you want to find me, I'm playing WoW forever. That's what I'm doing right now. Octavio writes in and says, new marathon vid doc just dropped and a blog post. So if you want to go check out more marathon, get the updates from Bungie, Octavio is saying, Hey, it just dropped.

57:11I'm sure we'll check that out later this afternoon and maybe we'll be reporting on any big news tomorrow. Are you a marathon guy? I'll be honest. It's on the list. I haven't given it a shot yet. I was intrigued by hearing that it was a little more of a sweaty, competitive, you know, extraction shooter type game. So I'm looking forward to giving it a shot. Are you a Destiny guy? Not as much. I mean, I played a lot of Destiny 1, but by the time 2 came out, I was just busy with other things and never got into it. Final Fantasy XIV was kind of my big online game for a while. That's cool, Brad. That's cool.

57:44That's the one I've never played. I mean, if you're a big WoW guy, you've got WoW. I could list off like 10 MMORPGs that I played on Xbox One, but I never played Final Fantasy. Neverwinter, Terra, Black Desert Online. I was playing all those just B-project MMOs on Xbox One going, what am I doing? But I never played Final Fantasy XIV. Tried it. Let's keep it going with

58:12Parker writes in and says, the hair on my neck stands every time his damn song comes on. Talking about Greg, of course. Shout out to Team Orange. And then Resolute also writes in and says, beat it until it's purple and orange. So a lot of team orange love out there for Greg Miller. You're four time champion. Go buy the merch right now. A brand new t-shirt. No better, no better time than to buy a t-shirt that will arrive before probably kind of funny top 100 in your flight out here. And you can wear that at the awesome fun, you know, parade that we're going to have after kind of funny top 100. Wear your, wear your orange science dog official writes in for Mike to feel a little bit better.

58:52Since Blizzard is part of Activision, And maybe those RTS expertise will actually be used over there. Doesn't make it any better, but just a thought. They do get one step closer to Blizzard. Very sure. StarCraft now getting an open world shooter. Didn't say, hey, we're making more RTSs. We somehow gave a 30-hour campaign to Warcraft 3, which is just a wild experience to be living in. We will see what World's Edge does and looks like in the coming months and year. I wish them all the best and I hope that we continue to get dope RTS games and people love and try that genre let's jump into you're wrong we got some fun stuff in here this one from KDG it's not really a you're wrong but it's a celebration so I'll let it slide because I'm Mike not blessing today we know Venba it was made by a best friend who did an extended demo slash making of on PlayStation I love you back in the day.

59:54It's fun. When Brad brought that up, I smiled instantly because, yeah, we know Venva, and Venva rocks. Hell yeah, shout out to Abbey. Yeah, go check that out right there. Let me see. What else do we got? Here's one for you right there. Knight Die Killer writes in and says, the Oakleys in GTA 6 Collector's Edition retail for$214. That might be a good justification for the $400 price tag. hold my hand for a second man the sunglass market got out of hand how did we let those motherfucking plastic 5 cent looking glasses become$241 what have we done you know I used to like sunglasses I used to be big into like I gotta get these cool ass Oakleys and then I started realizing the price tag was$300 I really started questioning what have we done because those right there look like those plastic sunglasses you get at the fair that have the lime green earpieces on the side.
