"Streaming services like Netflix is no different than cable tv except it is on demand."
It's nothing like cable. My comment isn't a guess lifetime sale of films has shrunk to a point it's almost gone and so has the revenue it generated, that is money from competing TV networks, cable/satellite and physical media sales.
Lack of revenue transparency with streaming has meant workers job security and pay has massively diminished, earning...
I like how they twist cannibalising game sales into "invests".
No lifetime sales with MS, they'll F-up gaming the same as streaming services have done to the movie industry and it's workforce.
It's sponsored content.
Phil didn't destroy the brand, he's just a monkey in a suit. MS destroyed Xbox and now they want to do the same to gaming by turning it into a rental service, we'll be seeing a lot more sponsored content like this to sucker people in.
They want to monopolise the industry and remove consumer ownership.
I never thought I'd hear a Lego character say c*** juggling thunder c***
@why
No not better, the system he suggested is bottleneck city, you follow his advice you're literally throwing away money on a system that's out of date and can't utilise the power it's got.
@Tailz
Then what's the point of your post, the guys suggested just burning money on a system that can't do what he stated.
"Daniel Owen on YT"
That was like watching my first PC build, a cheap PC with no forward compatibility and bottlenecks. I hope no one decides to listen to Owen they as they will be very disappointed.
...this site doesn't seem to know what happens to price when items are mass produced or that initial higher costs are normally absorbed by the manufacture.
Click bait or a tech site that doesn't understand the basics, I'm guessing both.
You were only really renting those games and when renting games they can be taken away anytime. This is what MS wants, no consumer ownership, reduced consumer rights.
MS is letting its user base know, they're not your games
I agree, which is why I see what were three competing publishers Bethesda, Xbox and Activision Blizzard merging as a bad thing.
MS needs to go before they consolidate more of the industry.
If you feel so strongly about this why not approve the article like you did with the low Astro Bot Japan sales 30 mins ago?
Don't go dark, just go away never return to gaming.
That's the weakest excuse for a giant monopoly I've ever seen... also companies like MS are more likely to damage people's 401k through monopolistic practices.
Chill out kid... also why bring up Sony, have they just spent 80 billion to consolidate a massive part of the industry to the detriment of thousands of workers?
MS lines their pockets whilst firing thousands, such a shame you support this.
A combined $80 billion spent on consolidating a massive part of the industry, thousands fired all to line the pockets of the already wealthy and turn the gaming industry into a rental service.
FU MS.
A multi-tier rental service that not only f***s the devs over but more and more users too... but MS got a fat payday for their CEOs and shareholders and that's all that matters
...or in other words a POS monopoly is trying to buy and create another monopoly.
MS adds nothing to gaming, they only take.
Can you keep the Russian propaganda out of here please. $100,000 per episode some of those right wing BS pushers were getting, keep it off of N4G kid.
MS: We will be investing in the Asian market by buying up Asian studios and shutting them down. Don't worry though our CEO's and shareholders will be the only beneficiaries to the detriment of the gaming industry.
"Out of interest do you think those 3rd parties signing the deal are unhappy with the severence and have a gun to their head?"
I think you mean severance... and I've noticed you don't know what it means either, MS aren't firing the third-parties they're purchasing from.
"Bro probably has a PS+ sub and has library full of Epic launcher free games."
I'm not a console gamer, but yes I do have Epic wi...
