Spectator Mode Podcast Episode 161: Xbox has no cash for advertising

By Keith MitchellJuly 27, 2024
Spectator Mode Podcast episode 161

On Spectator Mode Podcast episode 161, Scott rejoins the show after a brief absence and the crew discusses the restructuring of Humble Games, Ubisoft’s recent messaging for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Xbox’s lack of marketing and advertisement blamed on Microsoft, that Crowdstrike big oops that crippled the IT world, metrics, and Live Service games, and more.

Hosts:

  • Keith D Mitchell – @Shadowhaxor
  • Scott Adams – @Sithscott

Topics:

  • Games we’ve played this week
    Keith: Elden Ring, Flintlock Siege of Dawn, Marvel’s Rivals, Ascendant
    Scott: Trails through Daybreak, Fate Seeker II, Grit and Valor, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
  • A new Helldiver 2 update was announced, The Escalation of Freedom.
  • The Asus ROG Ally X is out – Should you get it
  • Ziff Davis, the parent company of IGN, has gutted the entirety of Humble Games, and according to several employees, as of 9 AM, 36 employees were told tehy were being let go and that Humble Games was shutting down. This follows the laying off of an unknown number of employees in November 2023.
  • Xbox has no marketing capital. How does that make sense?
  • Ubisoft’s awkward Assassin’s Creed Shadows messaging
  • Crowdstrike took down most of the IT world and businesses. What happened and does how the world recover from this?
