Yep. What Alex St. John wrote is pretty much "What corporate actually thinks of you - The Article."
As disgusting as it was, I'm glad he wrote it, it shed alot of light on something that has been a problem in the game industry and in general really for quite some time.
"We used to have Microsoft support here, but then they bailed. They, quite literally, packed their s*** and left."
I laughed out loud at that part.
Lol. I took that part too.
Unbelievable, the guy needs a smack.
Look at Sean Murray before No Man's Sky.

Look at him now after doing math equations for 4+ years.

This article is unreal.
But what makes it even more unbelievable is, it's written by the guy who use to work at Microsoft and who founded WildTangent.
"I can’t begin to imagine how sheltered the lives of modern technology employees must be to think that any amount of hours they spend pushing a mouse around for a paycheck is really demanding strenuous work. "
That is so freaking insensitive to how hard game development is.

"Masterpiece"
"Cons
None, absolutely none".
Love it.
I think so too.
Yes!!

We have heard this before, Destiny and Halo 5 both come to mind. Both released "Alphas" and "Betas" that ended up looking very similar at release. I do think Gears will look better than it does, but I'm not expecting a miracle.
Everything from the animations to the environments look straight up bad, I don't expect all of that to change.
I think they will eventually. I don't think Microsoft will ever do what they set out to do, which is best PlayStation and be the market leader.
But I think they are starting to realize that will never happen. The PlayStation brand is just too strong worldwide, while the smaller countries are just getting more and more into gaming, making it stronger.
On top of that, Xbox can't even win in the US anymore.
Games. The exclusive/console exclusive line up on the PS4 is much better than the Xbox One's this year. Not to mention, the PS4 has VR while Xbox doesn't.
Not one month in 2016 hasn't even been close.
I've always been Overload. Lol.
One of Gears pulls last gen in my opinion was being a very impressive visually, this definitely doesn't have that going for it. It will be interesting (TM) to see how it does in a very very crowded window this fall with all the regular heavy hitters launching and PlayStation VR.
One company is dropping way more games than the other though.

Almost 100k PS4 lead with the Xbox price cut.

They pretty much all looked the same.
Not a very flattering video.
Of course. But it doesn't have to be the Coalition making it and it doesn't have to be console game. IP's can be used for many things, look at Konami.
I'm not saying this will happen, but I'm just saying.
Microsoft owns many great IP's they do nothing with.
"all 90+ exclusives "
I'm not sure you even know what that means.
Rocket League putting in that work!!
