Obscure still lurking and creating new accounts.

But you don’t get day one releases either GP except ultimate which is a rip off. So the message is actually very muddled.

I mean back then many gamers rented games to some degree but it was certainly never the primary way people consumed videogames. And renting today is also not the way most people get their games.

Microsoft simply do not understand creative industries, chiefly because they are incapable of being creative.

It’s patently ridiculous

Getting on your high horse, proclaiming your superior morality all the while proudly admitting you’re a thieving scumbag is not a great look.

Microsoft apologists are curious creatures. By any measure Xbox has failed and they have betrayed their loyal customers. To go online to defend them as they destroy the brand, fire people left and right and still make no decent games or do anything genuinely creative….well that’s just silly.

You are about 1% as smart as you think you are. No an Xbox is not a pc. There are both hardware and software differences. At the end of the day, the definition of a PC is what, something that runs windows or Linux? Newsflash, an Xbox doesn’t run windows or Linux.

You're rivalling Obscure now with the obsessive defence of Microsoft.

Sounds to me like he's admitting that XBox is now dead.

People need to check out SteamOS. If all you want to do on a PC is game, its better than Windows - today.

Such a lack of nuance in discourse around AI. Half the people drink the kool aid and think it will do everything they ever dreamed of and the other half want to unionize and strike.

The reality is in the middle. AI is quite useful for certain tasks and not great for others. Research shows that, despite the headlines, AI is not removing that many jobs. The job losses you see in headlines is primarily driven by companies right sizing following the pandemic.

Easy there comrade.

There is zero chance a new Xbox supports multiple storefronts. Support for steam instantly kills the Microsoft/xbox store.

Also mass market devices simply cannot support older pc titles. Imagine ‘little jimmy’ downloading an older pc title for his shiny new Xbox on Xmas morning only to be met with keyboard and mouse button prompts that he can’t find on his controller.

Never going to happen.

It looks pretty good and hits the right nostalgia notes, however my desire to not give Microsoft money is stronger than my desire to play yet another remake.

I guess when you fail so badly for so long, you have to say something.

Stuff like this will push smaller indies away from Xbox. Breakout hits will simply appear on other platforms.

It plays precisely zero xbox games because it is not an xbox and is incapable of playing xbox format games. This is an objective fact.

It was a great game at the time but I would guess that it has not aged well. It will need more then a graphical update, it will need to be fully remade.

At this point the failure rate for live service games is above 90%. Of those that don’t completely fail immediately, only a couple go on to make big money.

Why take the risk?

It’s because maga don’t want you killing their good old boys.
