It is a bit weird. Kotaku basically wrote an article intended to both undermine High on Life’s success and complain about Xbox.

I haven’t played “As Dusk Falls” so I don’t have any personal experience to offer, but it objectively has a ton of very good reviews.

This article is clearly written by someone that hates the game, hates Rick and Morty humor and doesn’t like xbox. Positive headline but the content is negative as heck. Focused on “oh the game is popular because gamepass doesn’t have any other games”...maybe the game is popular because it’s trending on tiktok and…

What is with Kotaku shitting on gamepass all the time lmao. Its still infinitely better value than the other services out there.

Kotaku: Big studios are bad, they crunch and treat employees like crap, people should play more indies 

So close. You were so, so close. Nobody buys Gamepass for one $60 game. You’re better off buying the damn game. But 100 $15 games? Or games that ARENT worth $60 but are still worth your time?

It has more in common with Telltale-style adventure games. Branching narratives, ambiguous moral choices, etc. If you enjoy Telltale-style adventure games, you’ll probably like it. If not, you won’t. Such is the nature of personal taste. The benefit of Microsoft’s offerings is that they cater to a wide range of…

The “Game Pass has no games” horseshit that video game bloggers peddle is a bit played out, don’t you think?

Being able to watch the entirety of Demon Wind in an alien movie theater with the RedLetterMedia guys doing commentary for absolutely no reason in the middle of a shooter is almost worth full price, but absolutely worth a Gamepass sub.

This year, Microsoft has only released one new game for Xbox and PC that was developed by one of its own internal studios: the historical narrative game Pentiment by Obsidian.

So the jobs of those workers in your eyes are more important than protecting the public from predatory corporations? Yes any job loss is sad, but NOT when it means enabling and ensuring corporations can continue to prey on consumers, especially the vulnerable. Those few hundred job are not worth the protection of TENS…

Took me a few reads but I think the first sentence was meant to be sarcastic and they’re actually happy with the games that Game Pass has. (I, too, am extremely happy with Game Pass and if it manages to prove that AAA gaming is overrated and overvalued and we get a renaissance of incredible indie games, then more…

Basically, Riot argues that FTX’s reputation has been so thoroughly trashed in the past few weeks that being even remotely associated with the failed exchange is causing Riot harm.

It is NOT a proper fine. $9 billion in revenue in its FIRST TWO YEARS - not even counting how much now. It is literally a small fraction of their profits and in hindsight they would still have done it again if they could travel back in time because I promise you the amount of money they are paying out doesn’t come…

Oh my, believe it or not that makes it worse, their systems have led to child development teams that overwork themselves for promises of big payouts that of course arn’t likely to happen.

Riot argues that FTX’s reputation has been so thoroughly trashed in the past few weeks that being even remotely associated with the failed exchange is causing Riot harm.

Tommy Tallarico is about to make some edits to his own Wikipedia page.

“Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions”

If the FTC doesn’t go after Roblox next... Roblox not only has tons of games trying to trick players into making purchases, but their target demographic is mainly children.

“it is preventing the company from further “commercializing the crypto-exchange sponsorship category...currently owned by FTX.”

i.e. the deal is to be nullified so that Riot can find another crypto sponsor
