I think the xbox reset is technically a surrender, at this point I'd be surprised if they ever make another one.

I often wonder in times like this if John Carmack and Co. feel any guilt or remorse for selling to Zenimax (Who then sold to MS)?
By all accounts they had a self-sustaining business. And now it's gone by corporate decree.

Possibly the worst choice they could have ever made. I have no faith in Xbox’s technical ability anymore.
