I feel bad for this guy.

Worked on his dream game HiFi Rush since 2017 and made an amazing game.

Studio gets acquired by Xbox, they shadow drop it on GamePass, no marketing, and no physical release.

1 year later, his studio gets shut down, 6 years of hard work down the toilet....

MAYBE BUYING games is better for supporting the studios? It is not maybe, Xbot, that is how industry works in last 40+ years, by buying games, not renting them, Xbot!!!!

Microsoft tried to drag the entire industry into this unsustainable model, and the media almost helped them do it. What an evil company.

Yes. They want competition to spend themselves to death trying to compete under their rules. Good thing Nintendo and for the most part, Sony, don’t fall for that trap.

So this is what everyone with at least two functioning brain cells was saying it was going to happen, yet we got harassed, gaslighted and banned for saying it so.
Fuck them and Microsoft equally.
Pretty much. It's the reason I'm unable to post there.

Xbox as a whole deserves to crash and burn for all this. Violently. Let the vultures pick through the remains.
