All of thse dude talking big about no longer riding with Microsoft will be back after their show in June. All they need is to see COD or something.
yeah, Ms definitely astroturfed forums in the wake of a new gen. I remember it, Sony/Nintendo were killing shit(as usual), but then suddenly the video game Netflix would make it all irrelevant. I must say, it took a few years for people to realize the truth, but it's satisfying seeing people finally agree with what i've been saying for YEARSyeah, they killed like 90%+ playstation fans in 2019-2021

Lol now he is saying this?
I've really regretted the idea of making a post like this, but he we are.
If you had to ask me a simple question about what the lowest point of being an Xbox fan was, it's sad to think that you would have think of several different instances. Nintendo and Sony are not infallible on this front, but look how quickly both of those companies were able to turn around their tailspins.

I almost feel like I've been in a cult for the last eleven years that's just now seeing the light.

Then we get the news from yesterday. Three studios being closed. Alpha Dog, Arkane Austin, and FUCKING Tango Gameworks. I had to hear Phil and company state for fucking years on how important of a market Japan was for them. How much they would LOVE to have a studio in Japan. You finally get one, have a studio release a game of the year contender and your response is to shutter them. It's just fucking spineless.
It's been a huge relief to see all the knives come out for Xbox, from journalists, fans, and most importantly the workers and creators that give us these beautiful games in the first place.
It's been eleven years since the Xbox One debacle. Look how quick Sony and Nintendo were able to turn around their errors. How the hell is it that I feel worse about the console than ever before?
I fear that Microsoft is going to shutter more studios after leadership made these acquisitions and parroted lines that they believed in the creativity of games.
I'm uncertain in Microsoft's ability to manage anything related to Xbox at this point.
And I doubt the leadership of Xbox in being able to regain any of our trust.
FUD is being flung at us directly from Xbox's actions.
I'm beginning to believe that maybe they just never really gave a shit about any of us. I don't think they care about the creators at these studios. I don't think they care about how these decisions are affecting the fanbase.
Maybe I was more naive than I thought. They say fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I think we're well past being fooled twice. I'm realizing that Xbox leadership is Lucy, and I'm the fucking moron that keeps trying to kick that stupid pigskin.
Good but it's too late. The damage is done and all the best posters left months and years ago. I don't recognize any of the new faces there.GAF has honesty been on the Sony side since the multiplat rumblings. era, while more resistant, are finally realizing Xbox has been trash all gen and they've been gaslit. even famiboards and their odd xbox alliance is fizzling out.
The massive Activision Blizzard acquisition has ramped up scrutiny on the Xbox division from leaders at Microsoft, according to people familiar.
And none of us saw that coming, right... lol.
Yeah because it cought fire and is burning very bright...."the future of Xbox has never been brighter"
Yea. I think somw others ll be canceled soon. Contraband, everwilde, perfect dark, state of decay. Studios also.Considering how dead quiet the marketing behind Hell Blade 2. I'm thinking Ninja Theory are done.
The gaming media and Xbox fanboys are shocked.
People who didn't fall for the Microsoft PR bullshit saw this coming.
lmao well this poster was right about one thing: the Xbox "fans" are welllllllllllllllllllllllllll past being fooled twiceThere's a lot of soul searching going on out there with people apparently reaching that tipping point. There was one post on ERA a few hours ago that had a few moments and a few points I thought would be worth sharing. Not linking directly or sharing their username, not what this is about, just sharing the bulk of one of the lengthier and less reactionary responses to the news that seemed to resonate with people there:
It was Bethesda's stupid idea to shadow drop
