Wow, amazing points. Truly illuminating.

I just don’t see how you can call Nintendo anti-consumer. In the gaming sphere they don’t participate in almost any of the worst practices that have consumed every other publisher. Yeah they havn’t followed some of the best practices. But protecting their own IP, this isn’t anti-consumer. These tournament organisers…

Yes don’t play games regularly contending for Game of the Year titles across the industry, games that are never bogged down with all the other MTX shenanigans or terrible optimisation etc. Like Nintendo are almost exemplary in their game making conduct (not perfect mind you), and because they’re finicky about how…

IMO the Epic achievement sound and appearance is the least intrusive compared to the consoles. They probably should allow some customisation, but its hasty. Which is good.

Also not a fan how on Xbox they take up so much visual space and make a huge noise, and your options are that or you don’t see them at all. I would…

I’m excited to give it a try, will wait for it to come to Game Pass. For me its not worth any additional expense.

And that puts us about 3 months away from Jedi Survivor coming to Game Pass. I am so happy. Now lets see how far I can play into Dead Space before I quit like a baby.

“There are many ways to climb the mountain that is achieving carbon neutrality,” Toyoda said.

Yeah neither of those are the specific issue I spoke to. I am in complete agreement with your statement.

Witcher 3 was less than perfect at launch, they took a little dinging for that. Cyberpunk, they freaking earned that savaging. They worked hard for it, they practically wanted it.

That’s not entirely accurate. Spider-Man has always been allowed to appear in ensamble games even while solo game access to him was licensed out to other companies. According to interviews Crystal Dynamics were the ones that approached Sony and asked them if they would like to buy the exclusivity. I’m sure their…

The way I think it works is that Marvel are the ones who seem to own the videogame rights to Spider-Man (unlike animation or movies which is owned by Sony). So Insomniac can use any Spider-Man character pretty freely, and that if they wanted to use any other hero or villain (like Taskmaster in the first game) they can…

The other thing to try is to delete old save files. Or on PC I guess if you still want them just move them out of the save folder. This helped me with some stability issues. Who knows what else it will fix. But extra Outposts does sound like the kind of thing that could do it. Now it has to have all those blocks of…

I put in hundreds of hours into this game. I think I did everything there is to do and then some. Even built a dozen ships. Unless you went absolutely crazy on base building I just don’t think that tracks as the reason. What am I missing here? Is it the base building?

Sorry I was having difficult parsing which way round you were saying this works. 

No worries. Thats an interesting thread to go pull RE the indie devs. Because I had assumed because there are so many returning indie devs on Game Pass that it must be doing well for some of them. But I imagine like anything there are many complexities in the numbers. But lord I hope we get some unredacted leaks of…

Sorry Tomatte I was trying to add context to the thread, not pick a fight with you. I could have made that clearer, that’s my bad.

On the exception part though I will say that specifically because the percentage in the MS quote is redacted, we actually don’t know which way the exception swings.

Sounds like your Xbox is broken friend, I’m at 1:31 without quick resume.

I will keep reminding people that quote is incomplete. And in the document it comes from all the other information around it suggests that is not the full picture. It’s more like it canablises the sales of some games and not others.

That quote from Xbox is heavily redacted and removed from context to the point of being meaningless. And if you read the whole filing (copy the quote and google it to find the original doc) in its context everything around that quote calls it into question.
