Why would acquiring teams your already close with diminish anything? MS was close with Bioware and look what happened. Are you saying that Sony not buying up Insomniac isnt big news? Plus, we already know that Playground is making a big RPG game and if it blows up then I doubt MS wants to try and fight or get into a bidding war with another publisher looking to swoop in.

Regardless, opinions aside, both companies are going into the next gen with...

Who cares if others find it offensive. Something always offends someone. What if he meant fag as in sticks or cigarettes? Do you know his intention?

The N word example is funny though because saying the N word still depends on context. I had a black friend growing who people called Niglet because he was so small and scrawny. It was said in jest and as friends, and he or anyone around didnt care. Now if using fag or the n word (not sure if spelling it out will get me banned)...

You don't know his intention with having fagbag in the game. Could be an inside joke with a gay friend.. context matters. He isn't directing it towards anyone.

All depends, nothing wrong with creating engaging and fun AA games with a few big AAA game sprinkled in. Variety is the spice of life.

For every UC, TLoU, GoW, Spider-Man, Horizon Sony has made... they have also made some not so great games as well.

Lol Nintendo was the one who was selling off their shares in Rare because their games weren't selling well. The two main people looking at Rare was Activision and MS, and MS outbid them for the shares Nintendo gave up. Then between all the stress of not selling well, and NIntendo not interested in them anymore, a lot of the main people jumped ship before Activision or MS was looking to buy them.

MS has 15

Sony now has 16 with Insomniac joining.

They are about on par as far as expanding... Now feel free to argue quality for sure.

I would never downplay Insomniac or any other Sony studio, but MS did get some pretty good ones. Obsidian makes massive and well received RPG games, InXile makes very good and polished strategy games, Playground Games makes one of the best arcade racers out there, Ninja Theory has been a bit wishy washy but they have good creativity and shown they can make good action and story focused games, Double Fine makes really fun and quirky AA games.

I wouldn't downplay these ac...

Yeah not sure where they are at right now haha

But putting their GamePass service (that likely will require an Xbox live account as well) isn't QUITE the same as full on publishing their own games on someone elses store. But honestly who knows what their plans are anymore.

Wait, who is hating or ridiculing anyone other then the people attacking this guy for adding in some gay words. It's not like it was an attack on gay people.

Again, no one is going out of their way to attack or offend...

We evolve as humans, yes we do, what is your point here? No one is saying you can't be gay or trans. Joking about gays, trans, black, white, asian etc. is not the same as hating or saying you can't be a certain way. A phobia i...

Did they hide it? Seems like they easily found it.

Regardless, I guess you're right that I cant determine what other people find offensive. But these people also shouldn't be able to control what others say just because they feel a way about it...

This is just more shitty boo hoo poor me I'm triggered censoring from the Left.

I dont see how "Ogay" is an offensive slur... is calling a gay person gay a slur? I'll admit it's a lame joke play on words with Olay, but hardly something to be offended about.

As for Fagbag perhaps its referencing a carton of cigarettes or perhaps it's a literal Fag Bag

Lol I'm not defending MS, I'm responding to Knightofelemia's comment about privacy in his home and just informing him the unfortunate truth about the smart devices likely all over his house. Whether that's his Kinect, phone, laptop, webcam etc. etc.

I don't think any of these companies should get a pass on this.

""Apple, Google, and Facebook suspended their own use of contractors after swelling media coverage around the widespread practice; Amazon said it will let users opt-out."

You don't think Facebook it listening on the phone app? I have had friend requests pop up for someone I literally just met, never even called on my phone or anything.

They were only listening to commands to the xbox. They weren't just listening to random conversations. So when you would give the "Xbox! Turn on!" "Xbox! play Netflix" "Cortana! Play The Witcher 3"... those are what they were listening to. It would only trigger when the command prompt was given.

You gotta smart phone? How about a webcam? How about a laptop with a webcam? Windows 10? PS Eye? Smart TV? Just about all of these devices as well as the apps you allow on your phone have something in their ToS that allow them to record, monitor, and sell data. Webcams can be easily hacked into from your computer...

But they did listen when you tried to command Cortana to talk dirty to you while you fapped.
