He should have been asked to reconcile his comments with the idea that the added content to GP justifies a 50% price hike.
@J739
What's your Xboera username?
You posted the MS update after my comment that included and addressed it to point out the lie in saying it debunked the rumor. Have you all learned nothing from 'just four games' and Indiana Jones not being one of them? They went out of their way to deceive people on Indiana Jones by choosing to bring it up to say it wasn't one of the four games they were misleading people to believe were the only ones going to PS. It wasn't a lie, but it was a deception.

@J739
You are either misinformed or trying to misinform. Nothing was debunked. MS' response was like someone responding that they are actively engaged when confronted with rumors that they are considering breaking off their engagement.
"The ramifications of the CoD GP gambit not working out were just starting to get properly measured, but the thing that really stuck out to me was that suddenly, really concrete plans for actual MS Xbox HW went fr...
I don't know if this is a stupid decision. Hear me out. I saw someone comment that it was time to cancel GP and MS would do a 180 like usual. It may be too late this time. It's the history of those other 180s that gives me some doubts about them doing it again or this being a stupid decision versus a cold calculation.
Despite never being the dominant brand, Xbox has at various times tried to push wildly unpopular changes on their customers when they thought they wer...

"With hindsight, stuff like this makes me put a tinfoil hat on and wonder if the shills are actually paid shills to sway public opinion? "
IMO Jez is a pick me fanboy who is not paid to shill in the traditional sense (money). His reward is being associated with Xbox, getting fed controlled leaks, access, and the benefits to his platform he is able to leverage from those things. The benefit to MS is that they can use the association and ...
@Christopher
You should include that information in the Bio section of their new profiles, or make a new field for it in their profile, or create a page that tracks the account changes for transparency. The principle of having an open comments page seems to be that users should be able to know what others users have said. That same idea should apply to the new accounts. Is Obscure using a new account?
@lukasmain
It says something that in those moments, free to say whatever he wants without regard for the rules because he's using one of many daily-created temporary troll accounts, he still can't come up with anything positive to say about Xbox. One day he'll realize all of his obsessive efforts amounted to keeping everyone's cups filled with his tears.
The desperation continues.
I don't want to speak for jznrpg, but I'm going to guess that they didn't quit gaming entirely and have been playing other things in the years since 360 shifted focus to Kinect. Those things just weren't Xbox. You planning to get Xbox out of this mess by lecturing their each of their customers until their fan base has returned to them?
The funny thing about your awkwardly forced, old man yelling at clouds socia...
Rational people read that as Xbox went in a direction that jznrpg disagreed with as a customer and failed to offer new content they found appealing, similar to when someone says their system is collecting dust due to a lack of new content they find appealing.
Then there's whatever your reply was. Lecturing someone in the year 2025 over not playing their 360 is desperate AF.
"I get why GP so high now but thay combine with expensive hardware make no sense."
There are complexities that play into it, but at the end of the day they consumed large 3rd party publishers and found that they can sell games on rival consoles to fan bases that will support them without having to devalue the games by making them available Day 1 on a cheap, subsidized subscription.
Anyone who refused to recognize why going multiplat would be bad...
There are going to be a lot of people jumping on the bandwagon. Look no further than some of the regulars here who try to stealthily shift positions as if they weren't all in on consuming and spreading Xbox propaganda. Even the No Account Troll is so defeated that its shifted its messaging from trying to pump up Xbox to trying to "Sony too" Xbox's collapse.
"I don't get this 'more games don't equal more time' thing you people keep saying, as if that applies to everyone, or like it's a golden standard..."
It literally applies to everyone. MS didn't crack some secret code of the universe to give some subscribers more time in a month than other subscribers. You get additional games, not more time. That's a universal truth regardless of where anyone falls on the spectrum of having available fr...
Parody?
"Those saying the Series S was the reason are not thinking."
it's your thinking that is limited to the idea that if it's not a coincidence it must mean an exclusivity deal. What is it about your thinking that makes you conclude launching on the same date means the developer took exactly one year to fix the issue if Series S was the reason?
You're assuming they would launch immediately upon fixing the issue instead of waiting to laun...
@Lightning
You don't get to complain when you're responded to in a comment section but inbox me to carry on an argument. I'm not reading it. I don't care if you ran out of bubbles. I've ran out of bubbles after you said some ridiculous stuff to me. Did I inbox you? No. You had a chance to reply and chose to waste your comments elsewhere. Asking me how you flip-flopped when you know you've flip-flopped all over this topic multiple times was also a was...

@Main I quoted Rosenberg at the bottom he said it himself on the interview that him and guys go out and find hidden gems. This interview wouldn't mean much but Black Myth was supposed to release simultaneously along with the Xbox version unfortunately, it didn't. Got taken off and GS said it was the S. MS said there was a deal in place. If he's going out and finding niche or "...

You can't even answer a simple question.
I'll ask again.
"Cool now so show me a game that was announced as multiplatform only to skip one platform and release only on one platform, temporarily? While the other has to wait due to some anti consumer money hat? Let's stay on topic I'll wait."
What hypocrisy? An...

You replied to the wrong comment. Anyway...

Xbox not learning from Baldurs Gate fiasco. I bet they regret making this thing called the S.
I'd also find it funny that Ryan Mccaffrey immediately said "Sony money hatted it! No d...
"What relief does this give you for people getting an old game a year or so later?"
There's legitimate reason to find relief in the idea that PS is refocusing on its ecosystem and not jeopardizing it by doubling down on a strategy that could put it in a similar position as the current state of Xbox.
If true, it also relieves us of another "Sony too" deflection people have been arguing as a form of cope for years after years of peo...
