Significant downgrades are not the same as difficulty developing. In fact there are a few titles with multiple modes that struggle on the X, and gamers have to choose the flavour of dysfunction they want. Meanwhile the S version has a single mode that while downgraded visually, performs more consistently than the X.…

Speed? In my text? In the typing? You read it too fast?

This particular talking point has been stewing without any meet for months now ever since the I am Fish dev complained about the Series S constraints. Nevermind they also simultaneously released that game one Xbox One somehow without drama. So really there is not…

But you gotta wonder how much that massive Series S install base is causing headaches for developers trying to bring high-end games to the Xbox ecosystem.

Imagine every slighted person did this. Literally no positive change would ever happen. Yeah progress is slim on the ground and the wrong people are always catching strays. But that is always the way it goes. It speaks to character knowing that doing the right thing won’t get the right results, but choosing to do it…

I don’t have a horse in this race, but reading the rest of the comments and it seems like the majority of commentors feel like its authentic and that they can see her saying that.

One day Inkle will release their game on Xbox and then I will get to play them. Until then I guess I’m stuck with society.

Gotham Knights is the perfect, I was never gonna buy this but was curious to play it game. Looking forward to jumping in to it. Lies of P, Cocoon, and Lamplighters League are all games I have been frothing to play since I heard about them. Also kudos to the Lies of P devs on the pricing of that game, if I enjoy it I…

I guess you did. Happens to the best of us.

You should look at Bethesda’s release studio. They’re actually a pretty efficient studio. Starfield is the longest in development game they’ve made at 5 years, and that is a new IP alongside an engine overhaul. But their development history and their familiarity with Elder Scrolls as a brand, its probably going to be…

Actually Phil in particular was quite explicit that the reason they would only sign time limited deals is because it would be plainly stupid for a company to sign something in perpetuity (see Marvel’s trouble with Spider-Man). But he was also explicit that when it came to Call of Duty he wants to treat it like they do…

Looking at Minecraft like... and that is specifically the kind of deal that Xbox said it wants for COD. Xbox is under no legal obligation to make Minecraft multiplatform and yet they continue to.

You shouldn’t find it baffling, they got you. By moving away from Xbox you are not locked out from being their customer when you choose to. Xbox is trying to meet their customers where they are at. I was on PC for example using Game Pass and moved over to Xbox because the cost of a new gaming PC is bonkers in my…

Microsoft actually didn’t say this. The FTC made this claim and EU regulators refuted that claim. Microsoft later showed documents that the only promise it made regarding exclusivity was that it wouldn’t retroactively make anything currently released exclusive.

Looking at their release history they actually surprisingly put out games very timeously. Starfield is the longest in development, which supposedly also involved overhauling their engine at the same time (I don’t know how much I really believe that, I mean they obviously advanced it, but its not like a UE4 to 5…

Really? They seem to release a major game at most every 5 years.
4 years between Morrowind and Oblivion, 2 years till Fallout 3, 3 years to Skyrim, 4 years to Fallout 4, 3 years to Fallout 76, 5 years till Starfield and a mobile Elder Scrolls sandwiched there, as well as all the games from Fallout 3 onward having lots…

In my country we have an amazing grocery delivery service that can deliver groceries quicker than it takes for me to get ready to go to the store. Many times I am absolutely bewildered to get a weeks worth of groceries delivered in under thirty minutes from me clicking buy. Its wild. 

Also Gen Zs are newer to grocery shopping and are less familiar with the brands, quality, and other more tangible aspects to consider on items that are harder to return than say electronics purchases. Their behaviour might change as familiarity grows next to an increasing need for convenience.

That is incorrect. You literally could go further without choosing. If you simply didnt click on it you could go to the next step. The streamers in question were outraged because they wanted to be outraged. It was 100% ignorable.

With the amount of games I play a year, and the variety of games I enjoy Game Pass really hits the spot. I’ve been subbed for four years, just reupped for two for the price I used to pay for three, which sucks, but its still a good value for me. I finish around 30 games a year and usually around half of those are from…

The thing that brings Game Pass back around for me is that I really can’t afford to pay $70 a game. I play too many a year usually, and even if I didn’t its a heck load of money in my country. So I’ve always waited for sales with maybe two exceptions in two decades. But with Game Pass its actually been really nice to…
