    Discussion Instead of a golden goose, ABK is an albatross on Xbox's neck

    Since all these 3rd party rumours started coming up I've been thinking how is it going so wrong. It seems like the reality has set in over at Microsoft, the math isn't mathing and the purchase of Activision Blizzard has ironically put them in a spot where Xbox cannot be agile or competitive in...

    Discussion You're put in charge of Xbox: how do you save it?

    Phil is sacked and Satya is at your door step begging you on hands and knees to save Xbox. What do you do? For me: 1. All games (except COD and Minecraft) are immediate Xbox console exclusives.

    Discussion Todd Howard: Starfield is a walking sim

    Damn shame. Even Death Stranding had vehicles. Guess that's to be expected from an engine that needed to use a hat for a train system in previous games Waiting for the reveals on how limited the flying vehicles are. Clearly can't fly around planets, scripted cutscenes flying on and off. Is...

    Discussion Can a Multi-Game Subscription Focused Model Be Viable For Sony?

    I decided to take a look at the numbers with some very crude calculations to get a rough idea if it's viable. Really wanting to work out if Sony aggressively pushed MGS to replace the current buy to play model (like Xbox is doing), could it work for them? In 2021 Sony made $24.4 billion. 26% of...
