Ya it's pretty messed up of him to bring this to the public.
To me it was obvious that the main reason Microsoft put it on GP was as a big F U to Sony. "Long time PlayStation exclusive now on Xbox and on GamePass".
The hell is the point of this?
Comparing specs of a PC to a console is stupid.
Games on console require much less specs because developers optimize for one single spec.
PC games are highly unoptimized because they have to be developed to support basically millions of possibly combinations of parts.
So the question isn't building a similarly spec'd PC.
The question is can you build a PC that can meet the graphically output of the same game o...
Article provided no sales facts at all.
Said the PS5 is overpriced compared to average modern gaming PC? Say what?
It literally makes no sense. Players don't want to use Steam to download their games? They want to use Fortnite to download their games? What the hell?
What's your definition of abandon?
How exactly is it greed for them to not do this? If they made this work and then sold all PS3 games on the store, they'd make money.
Probably #1 most articles by the shill Abriael though.
What a false take.
All this study proved was that during the pandemic, when Japan was locked down.... that playing video games was more beneficial than just sitting on their asses at home.
That's quite different than saying playing video games is more beneficial for your health than doing other things.
Impossible, but not impossible. We learned nothing.
Bragging about a new release being #2 on "Weekly" charts. Wowsers.
I didn't say he can't have a hobby. I asked why he's hired as a professional writer for that topic.
"Anyone who has read any of my columns for this site knows that I am not much of a gamer."
Sorry, why would this person be hired to write for a gaming site?
You must be the new one, this kind of thing is standard business on N4G. You can get an article about a dev passing gas.

Keyword in your sentence is "physical". Digital is primary way to listen to music by a long shot.
If you're such an audiophile that you need your CD quality music, I'm sure you already have a system that handles that.
How stupid is he with the Black Widow comment? He seriously thinks Widowmaker came first? He's basically admitting their character is the copy with his comparison.
The difference is that Microsoft is being hypocritical as usual. They say shit and then they do the opposite. They act like they want to support physical, but then they do shit like this which is clearly not in support.
Shill
Uh that's basically standard procedure. High level person comes in and they make changes all across the company.
