Exactly.

Let me borrow your latest comment about Starfield.
"How can you say that? You have not played the final game as of yet. Can you just STFU until the game is actually out."
Do you see what kind of hyprocrate you are? The irony?
I don't consider a game a GOTY contender based on hypes and promises, if it turns out to be great, then of course it can be one of the candidates, but first we need the game to be released or get a demo first. In the mean time, it is not a contender, just like how I wouldn't say Spiderman 2 is too, it is not out and no one has played any amount of it.
I think they need to explain the lower price, not that we don't like the lower price, but it makes people speculate, like is it a lesser product?
I was pretty sure Tears of the kingdom will get GOTY, but after FF12 demo, not so sure any more.
I rushed to squareenix site to see if the collector's edition still available right after the demo... and I was surprised to see the "FF16 collector's edition restocked", almost impulsively bought it... but $350 USD a bit too much.
Anyways, just want to say the demo was freaking good, and made me want to spend money on it right away lol.
They could have done so many simple things differently, that would have put them in a better position.
1. Don't keep giving up the naming of the consoles. Use a more tradition name instead of using the trending word of the moment, "X", "360", "One", "Series"...
2. Drop the green colours, personally think even orange or red or black would have been cooler, just not a big fan of green
3. Hyping up games, not techno...
They are not losing, they lost.
But they can win in the future, if they focus more on making good games, and less on "content fund".
"I don’t understand why this is so hard for some people to not recognize that this is the same thing as buying a publisher."
Because it is not the same thing as buying a publisher. Are you missing every single games from Capcom and SquareEnix?
Always this "kids" excuse, if GamePass is such a best deal in gaming, everyone should have easily saved enough to just get the X instead.
Extra has awesome value, the only problem is I don't have enough time to play all these games...
Was playing Jedi, then stopped to play Zelda... And then FF16 in less than a week, and I am far from finishing Zelda... :(
Every Bethesda and Activation/Blizzard games were releasing on both platforms, they didn't have to spend a penny there. And then they spent and trying to spend a total of 76 billions... 19 YEARS of current Gamepass revenue (not even profit), just so millions of gamers won't have access to them, and XBox gamers gained ZERO games.
And people compare this to a single studio purchase Insomniac, a studio has always been releasing games on PS exclusively, and then releas...
it looks cool until there are dust lol
And if the acquisition goes through they will lose 20 years of revenue.
It might be a good game, but it is being over hyped, won't do it any good, people's expectations for it is extremely high now.
Personally, not a game that I wouldn't care about much regardless, just not my cup of tea, I haven't even played any Elders Scroll other than Oblivion.
Before the game is even launched, they are talking about winning streak... it is either shitty journalism or fat pay cheque.
Each game's sale can fund the next game, I don't get it.
I think the complains are more about the quality of them, not the quantity.
I don't see anyone complains when the last generation of iPhone is no longer the "fastest iPhone ever".
Usual MS strategy, can't get Cortana/bing to work no matter what, so paid 10 billions to chatGPT, now if you go to bing.com, it says "Introducing new Bing" as if they invented something.
