They didn’t create their own version of the game (a cover) but a video of them playing the game (a transformative act and fair use) and thus that video is their and they deserve royalties.

This is based on the assumption effort = price. If you’re going to put in 1% of the effort and charge 40% of the cost then it just looks shady.

That man will shill anything.

Is it 40% as big as the base game? Because that’s what the price implies.

If it’s $25 it better be 40% as big as the base game.

From the days of DOS.

In their defense, a locked FPS is generally the result of lazy and sloppy coding. Avoiding it is literally the first chapter of many game development books. It’s game dev 101.

For anything complex, yea, pretty much.

Xbox is definitely struggling. There’s been rumors that Microsoft might cancel most of their (struggling) consumer facing products and focus solely on businesses and Xbox is the only thing in the way.

Keeping the Project Spark servers up and running would be easy for Microsoft, they’re just being cheap.

This wouldn’t surprise me either. It’s no secret that Satya begrudgingly keeps Xbox alive. Listen to him talk about Microsoft’s company strategy, he rarely talks about Xbox in any detail. He’s just waiting for an excuse to pull the plug.

Imagine how much it will suck when the NX and PS4.5 are out.

The learning curve was so high that it was easier to open up Unity and create an actual game.

Sorry, I want to be able to play the games I spent thousands of dollars on in 20 years.

There are execs at Microsoft desperately looking for any excuse to cancel consumer facing projects.

Honestly, Microsoft has given up on everything. Satya is killing anything that isn’t Windows, Office, Azure, and business services. Even projects like HoloLens and Xbox have vultures waiting for any excuse to cancel the project and absorb their head count. Microsoft is slowly turning into IBM.
