Time, maybe. Effort, I would never question a game dev’s effort. This shit is hard as hell.

Counter point: No one really cares about Pinnacle station, at least not enough to warrant that effort.

Not wanting to dedicate 6 months of work to a piece of relatively small DLC =/= not putting care and effort into the rest of the release

No, the difference is that once you played cyberpunk it was a buggy poorly optimized mess. It still is a biggy poorly optimized mess with no end in sight.

OMG. That never occured to me- but I certainly wouldn’t bet against that happening.

fuck it just hit me, I had those amc passes and my local AMC had this friendly outgoing elderly guy as their ticket taker, always gave us a smile, now I’m like, shit he’s out of a job and we won’t see him anymore.

No one is “stuck” in a Gold or Gamepass subscription. This isn’t a gym membership where they’ll all but take your first born child to keep you signed up. It’s one click on the website to cancel. “But I want the products offered though” is not being “stuck” in the subscription, that’s called... wanting the products…

Take it from someone who upgraded to a 144 Hz refresh rate monitor: an emphatic yes.

He didn’t want to, but he had to.

Holy shit you actually won one? That’s awesome.

Check out the Dolby Atmos app on XB1. It even has headphones support!

It’s not only the cost advantage, it’s just that the majority of people don’t have 4K TVs for the Series X to be worth it when it comes to comparing tradeoffs. If you don’t have a 4K TV it’s almost a waste to go for the Series X. If you plan on getting a 4K TV to utilise the Series X then you’re really spending a bit…

I’m privileged enough that I’ve usually ended up having each console of every generation at some point, even if sometimes it’s a few years later. For the last decade or so there’s been so much redundancy between PS and Xbox, and especially with the most recent generation, as they largely had the same power, the same…

It still blows my mind that sony launched a full spec version of a new console for $400 in 2020, and I can’t help but think the pricing of the Series S (even with it’s lower specs) forced their hand a little there.

I’m a big fan of having the three major console producers using different strategies to attract consumers.

Originally THPS was supposed to be a downhill racing game. That’s what Tony wanted. Thankfully Activision was like “That’s boring as shit” and made the best games ever. Note that Tony finally got what he wanted years later, and of course.... it sucked. Downhill Jam is terrible.

yep! 4K60 HDR

I think at one point your argument was right, but imo the $60 price point is a non-issue. Most publishers release multiple editions of games now, and actively marketing the higher priced editions, and we’ve also seen a more diverse pricing range for games because of independent publishing and I suspect the various…
