The dude's always touting about his company's games being the greatest things since sliced bread.
That did happen.

There's also the fact that the West became the leading market for gaming during the 360/PS3/Wii era. So it made business sense to follow what was making Microsoft a success at that time. Xbox fanboys act like Sony and Nintendo were the only ones stealing things from Microsoft. News flash: Every company copies what is successful!! It's how a business works. You don't do what's not successful. That's not how you make money. Also, they don&#...
It is for them because that is where they want the industry to go towards. More money in their pockets. Microsoft is one of the biggest supporters of games as a service.
True. A lot of people who play games through Game Pass don't intend on buying the game afterwards. I subbed to Game Pass for a month to play Crackdown 3 and Forza Horizon 4 I think it was. Never had any intentions to buy them though.
It does say something if you can't outsell a game that's released on one system while your game is essentially released across 3 platforms (Xbox, Microsoft Store, and Steam) where there is a higher install base collectively. It's also a game in one of the most popular genres and had tons of advertisements. Does seem kinda disappointing.

Sony only has movie and movie related properties of Spider-Man. Marvel still owns anything else related to Spider-Man. The game was a deal made between Marvel and Sony. According to a few developers at Insomniac, it was their choice on which character they wanted to make a game based on and they chose Spider-Man. Sure Insomniac will most likely be working on a sequel but it's not because of a mandate by Sony but because of it's success. If a game is succe...
Both are similar in that you pay a service fee to play games but PSNow is mainly streaming the game with several titles being downloadable (not sure if all of them are) but Game Pass I believe does not have a streaming feature and all titles are downloadable to the hard drive. Not sure if Microsoft will be adding streaming games at a later date. Also, Games cycle in and out of Game Pass but I'm not sure if that's the case with PSNow since I haven't used it since the first few mont...
Weren't the previous Metro games available on other store fronts besides Steam and wasn't Exodus exclusive to Epic Store for an entire year? Again, if a game is only available in one store then of course you're gonna see major sales on that one store.
His face is too young looking and wide. If it was older looking and more narrow then maybe it'd be okay. Why they didn't just use the Injustice 2 model cuz that one looked better I don't know (comparatively speaking).
Wikipedia and like 2 other sites I went to said it made over $100 million on launch month with $3.5 million of it coming from microtransactions. Other than that, I couldn't really find anything on it besides the usual under performance and sales numbers aren't what EA expected.
He's been campaigning for it so hopefully it happens.
Someone spewing bullshit on the internet? Wow. Never seen that before. /s
Another greedy company being greedy. Move along people. Nothing to see here.
Oh no. You have summoned the organic robot. WE ARE ALL DOOMED!!!!
Microsoft has always had money to burn. That is why they can go into these side ventures. Sony doesn't have that luxury.
Published by Private Division a subsidiary of Take Two Interactive. Epic exclusive confirmed.
I still haven't played it. Bought it day one on Steam but never installed it. I should go and play it soon.
No I haven't played the game but I plan to. Also, before potentially others get started coming at me, I'm not saying it didn't sell those kind of numbers because of the quality of the game, I'm pretty sure it's a damn good game (don't know since I haven't played it yet), I'm just saying a game released on 3 different platforms couldn't out perform a game released on a single platform in the same time span. It's no way indicative of the quality of the ga...
