LOL, another no name company, these deals add no value to anyone's bottom line, nobody will start using Nware because now they have the same COD everyone else and their mother has. And MS will certainly will make nothing or next to nothing In additional revenue from this even if they surely are keeping 100% of the revenue as with all the other 10 year deals.
This is just about making yourself look good and fair to the general opinion and regulators.
Amount of countries or registered users do not mean anything if those people are not paying.
If in "Latveria" they have 200 "registered" users, that does not add to anything.
Big player? Nvidia? LOL.
Also Boosteroid, the only other name in that article is a "big player", SURE.
Yeah, I do not think they put a lot of thought in this decision, considering we are talking about games and they have a war over there. They were like, "yeah, whatever"
I'm VERY VERY sure they are not actually anonymous to the CMA, they just do not disclose the names, do not think the CMA got anonymous letters from "dEveLOpERs" in their mailbox and with that they denied the deal.
These offerings are pathetic. Tell it like it is, that's why Xbox keep getting crap month after month, all the apologizers.
@Silly Mammo
EXACTLY.
This is perfect for them, another 3 years of appeals NOT spending 70 billion dollars and having Xbox fans singing praises to another 3 years of the waiting game.
LOL, they say it increase sales while at the same time games on Xbox sale 2/10 (if that) of what they sell on other consoles.
LOL, You =/= Majority of Xbox owners, they cannot make it work with yours and probably 10 thousand sales more.
They have released games on the Xbox, the most recent one being Crisis Core, if people in large do not buy them, then they will just stop releasing them.
I mean, Octopath Traveler I was never released on PlayStation to this date and it's on Xbox, so they are certainly not against it when money is involved.
"Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made"
They are unable to create anything worthwhile, that's why they are spending all this money to take what is already there.
"Too many games to play on GamePass"
And that's why you are going to get less and less games as time goes on, Xbox owners do not buy games (I mean, we are talking about the large majority).
It's starting to feel like if a game does not come out on GP, it just does not come out on Xbox.
If games do not sell on Xbox or at least they do not sell enough to warrant a port, then this is what happens, not all developers want to get the money to be on GP day one, it devalues the game on other platforms.
People are not naive, less people are inclined to buy a game full price at launch on their console of choice when you know that it's "free" on Xbox, it stops feeling like a good deal for your money and at the same time they do not want the game enoug...
Sold? LOL, it sold like crap, they measure "success" by how many people pressed A on the start menu.
I mean, it is on them for going over to Meta, did they think that was going to actually work out?
That's like the studios that went with Stadia.
There's only so much you can do with that actor's look, being badass not one of them, as a Padawan I guess it was believable, now maybe not so much.
Still very excited about the game, got the platinum on the first one.
Money talks, this will either crash and burn of make money out of only Whales, they will be forced to correct themselves once this hopefully makes no money.
I mean, are they talking about launching day and date on GP, or just publishers that down the line negotiate having their games on GP just to get that little extra bit of money from a game that already ran it's course? Very different things, a lot of both small and big publishers/developers have multiple games on both Plus and GP to fill that catalogue.
On top of that we have to ask, are we mostly talking about small developers and "indie" games if they are ta...
I'm sure they did not do well when compared to the same game on other platforms. I surely do not think they are comparing Diofield sales on Xbox Vs FFVII remake on PlayStation.
They are like, QUICK, we need to say something, ANYTHING negative about PlayStation!!!
