We talked about this five years ago when they purchased Activision, Blizzard, King, Bethesda, and more.

This is a lot.
voice-verified
This is unmanageable.
voice-verified
You need to now start to put the right pieces and leaders together, right?
voice-verified
And here is the exact moment that we're looking for.
voice-verified
Hey, under Xbox Game Studios, there was 23 different game development teams.
voice-verified
That was too many for one person at the very top to overlook and make sure they were all making the right decisions.
voice-verified
Let's move them and put them in the pieces where they need to be, right?
voice-verified
And the moves that I'm seeing now with Halo going underneath Activision, right?
voice-verified
Rare, live service, where they are.
voice-verified
what Activision has IP-utilized, that's the right call.
voice-verified
World's Edge, I think this is a different conversation.
voice-verified
Someone needs to take control of that RTS team and figure out where it's going.
voice-verified
But when I read the moves and the alignments, it all feels right business-wise to say, let's get back on track to where we need to be with the right leadership and decision-making under that.
voice-verified

voice-verified

voice-verified
I mean, it's a delicate dance, Tim.
voice-verified
The problem was you had two options become the world's largest video game publisher and put it everywhere or continue to fight in the console space.
voice-verified
And right now in the console space, you are losing by a lot and you are not going to win the goodwill back.
voice-verified
We've gone two generations, two full generations back.
