Which to me is fine. I have no problem with a service to create value and drive users. That is as long as other gaming options (disc and digital) continue to exist for everything else. As for conent. I believe Phil mentioned he would like to have original content for the service at some point. I believe he as talked about serialized games (chapter 1, chapter 2 the following month, ...)
Translation: "I am a PS4 fanboy. My Sony overlord has not sanctioned such a move. I like the way my masters limit my choice, it makes me feel safe. So, until my masters tell me what to do this is all just hokey pokey witchcraft and Microsoft should be burned at the stake."
@Goldby Now your including facts not in evidence. What other developers? These are Microsoft first party studios. If third party studios do this (none so far) then they know the risks. You act like Microsoft won’t have data. What ifs, you gotta love that argument. How does one reply to that.😊 What if the sun goes super nova tomorrow? What if your state bans gaming tomorrow? What if…
What happens if they get more subscriptions than purchases? That is part of t...
My props off to you. In only one short sentence you had three argument fallacies. However, even with my admiration of such a talent my seventh grade English teacher would have given you a beat down.
This is what they wanted since the start. - conjecture no proof just a biased opinion disguised as fact
Slippery slope? What, how? - the worst of worst arguments; “camel under the tent”, as my old English teach would say
"This is for sure" is ...
I'd be moore pissed at yourself that you never learned to read and comprehend. Maybe you should request a refund from your sixth grade English teacher.
Hell no! The same reason Sony with Naughty Dog (see above) will not have a chance is the same reason any Microsoft based game maker will not. Disney wants to get the most gamers possible to play any game released. That means no exclusive to one console over another (barring less tech capability of some portable consoles for certain types of games). So, no. It will be a company able to support developing for the Xbox, PS, PC and even possibly the Switch if that console could handle the ga...
It may well do a great job but, Disney is not going to give sole access to anyone whose primary goal is supporting one console. Especially, a game maker owned by a console company and a direct competitor (Sony is Columbia/Sony Pictures). With Naughty Dog being owned by Sony that is just wishful thinking on your part. The only reason Sony has the right to make a new console PS4 exclusive of Spider-Man from Insomniac is solely a result of the deal Disney/Marvel made of having Spidey be a part ...
@Obscure_Observer I will ask you the same thing, your point? Minecraft is not GAAS, at least no more than any other game. Do you even know what GAAS is? I would think PS owners would be the ones worried about GAAS as the focus of Sony. It is a fact that the new SIE CEO, John Kodera, is all GAAS, 24/7. He is the father of PSNow. He was the exec that was in charge of PSMusic and PSVideo and many there online services. He has been in charge of either Sony proper or PS networking services si...
Hint: Don't blame the game, you were already very depressed before you played the game(s). Blaming others/things for your own issues is probably your modus operandi otherwise you wouldn't be escaping the very world you already blame for your issues.
Seek professional help for attempting to reach some fix for your issues not escapism. Escapism, by its very definition, is running away and avoiding the unpleasantness of reality.

As OLED image retention not characteristic of the organic matter but the actual electrical substructure due to voltage drift. It is best if people treat an OLED the same way they would if it were a plasma.
In three years micro-LED will rule the TV landscape at least from Samsung. I just got back from CES. Since my brother was not able to attend until today I had the opportunity to spend the first day walking the floors and even went to a few private i...
Yeah, Sony in most cases makes you still need money in the end to buy most things at their store. It is a trick to get you to buy things and nothing more. No different than reward cards at your local yogurt shop. Gee, look I got enough reward points to get a $5 off card. Wow, now that game will cost me $65 online. As opposed Microsoft's proposed system that will never cost you any money and not to fool you into purchasing anything. One actually will cost you loot, in the end, the oth...
The question was rhetorical. He was making a simple statement that all the PS4 teenage angst fans that littered this comment section obviously didn't read the blog post in the first place. It also apparent that Sony has something similar already in place for quite a while and much more nefarious as it gets you to spend actual money. Microsoft's system is 100% free financially, only requires gameplay. But, hey damn the facts and lets trash Microsoft as evil incarnate, bringer of the ...
Depends. The current 4 core version of Ryzen 2 starts at $266 and not releasing for desktops until April. This $266 doesn't include a reasonably powerful Vega GPU integration and those graphic chips are still priced similarly to the CPU for the overall power many users want to see in the next console. A console maker and AMD would have to get that APU (CPU+GPU) down to $130 to keep the device under $400. There is still a lot of power and thermal work that must be done to shrink the APU...
@Destiny1080 No need for a FreeSync monitor per se. HDMI 2.1 covers all this with built-in VRR (variable refresh rate) referred to often as Gaming mode and the HDMI 2.1 VRR is compatible with Freesync. This VRR was actually pushed by AMD to be part of the HDMI 2.1 standard and is the implementation of the DisplayPort tech standard called AdaptiveSync which Freesync is derived from. So any monitor/tv supporting HDMI 2.1 should be VRR ready.

Calling Microsoft an enterprise only company is like calling Sony an insurance company. Both are the biggest and most consistent bottom line contributors to each.
I can do it with almost any multi-facade company. Showing similar failures just as easily with Sony, Google, Amazon or others that take risks or explore consumer areas
Sony:
- Sony to close over two-thirds of its US retail stores and all Canadian stores. Strange, all t...
Why not? There aren't rumors about a console only that Microsoft itself admitted they are working on one. So, if this game is just in the early stages of development it would take, like any large game, around three years to complete. So yeah, it could be ready about the time the next Xbox console comes about in 2020-2021 and in that time frame it is most likely being developed to support just the X and any next console Microsoft releases.
@Vits "NDA probably prevents them from being specific" Hell it wouldn't. If you have ever signed-one they are very broad in what can't be exposed. I have signed multiple NDA's over the years and they are very strict. I have even been under a couple NDA's (for another company I worked for several years ago) that were for Microsoft and they were very complete, all-encompassing. I suspect if there was an NDA any discussion of Microsoft inside plans would violate it...
