This. It really seems like they’re getting closer to the idea of the Xbox being a cheap, custom, and gaming-centered PC that punches above its weight.

As such, good times will now be had by all. (:

“Computer: Enhance. Enhance. Enhance.”

“Even in a game as ostensibly inclusive as Overwatch, a woman can’t just be ‘a player’—not without ample infrastructural support from an understanding team—and Ellie’s situation exemplifies why.”

Except she can be. The problem isn’t that she isn’t allowed to play; it’s that she (and other women) are facing an ‘uphill…

Last gen, it was sort of understandable; Sony didn’t charge for online services while MS did.

I’d like to note that there were impediments to Vita’s success that ultimately led to its fall. Namely, the price and *expensive* proprietary memory formats.

I’d like to note: it’s how most people buy their electronics. Case in point: iPhone. The only way people get specs before launch is through leaks and after launch is through tear-downs. Apple says the SOC name but doesn’t go into the nitty gritty about them. Hell, Apple doesn’t even get into how much RAM the things…

Your mentioning of old interfaces reminds me of Warcraft 2 Battle.net Edition; a version with an updated interface and overhauled netcode. I wonder why they don’t put a small amount of effort to do the same to bring those games up to today’s standard and re-release them for $5-$10. I’d buy them again!
