Could be, time will tell.
Most of the "influencers" that are upset by this are a small group of people that are very fanboyish and view everything as Microsoft vs Sony. What I think is clear with Microsoft is that their priorities have shifted from trying to compete with Sony/Nintendo and instead do what most companies want to do, maximize profit. Lets face it, Microsoft will never have the marketshare that Sony/Nintendo get combined, imagine the kind of money Microsoft would make bringing their games to tho...
We won't have to beg, Microsoft will come where the money is at, it's all but semented since they bought Activision-Blizzard-King and Bethesda. Microsoft is about making money, and Xbox is way to small now.
As in, I will pass on that 👌
All we needed was the original game, the story was perfect in the first game, it didn't need a part 2.
When I see Eternal Darkness, I klick!
I tried to like Pit Fighter as a kid, had it on my Mega Drive and played it more than it deserved.
Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.
Wow, that's crazy, is this for real? MS just keeps pushing people away from their platform.
Xbox, please die... yeah.
I hate that gramma error, and I see it all the time! I'm from Sweden and even I can see the stupidity in saying "could care less". It's like... oh, so... you actually care?
E3 was so special growing up, reading gaming magazines as a kid about the big convention with all those new games was really special, and later when everything could be watched online. Some very iconic moments in gaming happended at E3. I will always remember Reggies "my body is ready" for example, or when Sony trolled MS DRM fiasco. Good times.
Truth hurts I guess!
Ms inflated numbers are inflated.
Dualsense is like a overdecorated christmas tree.
Are you sure it's not Santa?
He is fairly young still, so I wonder why he would retire from Blizzard. Maybe a new job, or something behind the scenes.
Damn, the PS5 is a great console, but it's one ugly beast.
TLoU is over and done with, lets leave it in the dust.
I would be interested in the first three Gears games, granted, I have them on the 360 but its a hassle to have everything plugged in at the same time. Only they would have to be improved, a remastered version maybe. Sadly, when MS aquired Gears from Epic the quality went down.
Halo is no longer a franshise that I find appealing, but again, the first three games would be fun to revisit for nostalgia. But to be fair, I could do without Halo.
Other than that...
