And I've said in numerous comments that they should but suggesting Spencer and Nadella came up with an idea to make more money doesn't really change anything I've said though.
Every company considers financial loss with any product they sell that's just part of business. I respect your point of view I'm simply saying this wasn't a gesture of kindness as the OP suggested but a business/marketing decision plain and simple. You're right I don't see Sony or Nintendo doing it and I have said repeatedly in my comments that they should and if and when they do I highly doubt we'll see any "perfect strategy" articles about it, that kind of ...
@CorndogBurglar
Making money is always a driving factor for MS or any other company that sells a product/s. Are they giving them away for free? no, ok I didn't think so.
"their fanboys bend over", lol pot meet kettle. Clearly Sony is very consumer friendly where it maters most.
YAY! Got a reply from one of the usual suspects. No not really weighing, I'm used to all the BS hyperbolic articles relating to MS GaaS games on this site. It was merely an observation, guess what I said must of weighed heavy enough on you that you had to reply.
Yes someone at MS thought about a market they hadn't tapped yet and saw it as a way to make profit. You're putting halo's and angle wings on business men who are just concerned with the bottom line. I'll say it again, the inclusion of disabled people in the gaming space and making gaming accessible to them is very important but commercializing it especially during the Super Bowl is not a gesture its marketing nothing more.
What part triggered you exactly? Was it the fact MS is seemingly doing everything in their power to push their fanbase away from their console. I never claimed other companies dont have additional paid services but Sony and Nintendo are clearly more focused on being console competitors Microsoft appears to be looking for an exit, you should look for one too.
So if its "the future" for every company why would they continue to sell consoles especially when that's clearly not their motivation, you pretty much contradicted yourself. I didn't say they weren't relevant, what part of STAY relevant confused you exactly? LOL, hilarious considering I've seen you "dismayed" in quite a few Sony articles.
"No excuses needed."
The excuse you made was to defend the game against a poor review not an excuse to play it. Why do I always have to explain your own comments to you Pantz? Enjoy your "sick moves" bud.
Financial firms and publications no doubt tide to MS in some way shape or form.
Play Forza Horizon 4 on your Fitbit coming soon!
What if the game requires you to collect ten different emotions, how about then?
No thanks, rather have full fledged top quality games like we've been getting instead of uninspired shovelware trash others have been getting with the day one service inclusion.
"concerns from analysts", lol yes I bet they're very concerned. Could be the end of days, maybe that bankruptcy everyone said was coming years ago is finally happening LOL! smdh
Its marketing to sell a product not a gesture. Accessibility is very important and more companies including Sony and Nintendo should provide options, just dont go thinking its Microsoft caring, its business.
Nice that was your agenda instead of just saying something positive and moving on, seems to me you brought your own bit of negativity.
Almost seems like Microsoft would much rather you not play their console. The fact is they want you to buy into their GaaS subscription that way you can pay them forever instead of once for a console.
You have to be more aggressive about it when your console is in third place. Sony and Nintendo can continue to sell consoles for many years to come, MS is looking for a means to stay relevant in the gaming space any way they can.
Full game cancelled for BR cash grab ok got it. Brought to you by your friends at EA.
"which makes any reply to you that much more of a chore."
"make some valid points and not constantly contradict yourself when trolling articles on N4G. It's getting to be where it's not even fun replying to you anymore"
No whats funny is you're the one who's run out of valid points so now you've descended into school yard insults. Wheres that adult conversation you claim you're so capable of? Seems like as soon ...
