After an abysmal showing in Europe this November, being outsold 20:1 and falling behind the ORIGINAL Xbox, insider sneakerSO on Neogaf has this to say




Bethesda is probably too far gone to save but I'm glad I'll be able to get my fallout fix off the decrepit green crypt console.

What Xbox published title are you looking forward to playing on PS5/Switch?
Bethesda CFO said their plans weren't exclusivity, but 'first or best' on Xbox instead.

We know that the ABK console games to be published in the next 15 years can be on Sony's game sub via Ubi if Sony agrees it with Ubi. We also know that CoD will continue on PS for at least 10 years, and that after 10 years from now they'll negotiate a renewal.

We already saw MS putting games and dlcs on rival consoles like Minecraft, Ori or the reent As Dusk Fall.

So seems it's a little step further. I assume they'll do it progressively, with the internally developed MGS games being the last ones announced for PS and Switch 2.

I think it's something that we saw coming, and it would be positive for everybody, but I think I'll remain skeptical until oficially annnounced.

I don't even think Starfield will make a splash if it hits PS5, word is out that the game is a dud and the footage I've seen doesn't make it any better.
I assume games like Starfield and Redfall will be released in PS5 around a year or two after their original release, once they received some extra polish and content and once they sold all they could on Xbox.

I just want Killer Instinct, the game needs to be on PS5 in order to be taken seriously and enter tournaments.
I'm not a big KI fan, but if I had to choose my most anticipated MS IP it would be this one.

Un-Ban him... Come on now.

There are posters here who post way inflammatory stuff to get reactions out of PS fans. His posts were fine most times and he contributed to the discussions.

Are we now saying a Poster can't speak on the moderation staff on here without a risk of being banned? Would be very ironic and hypocritical considering the obsession of other mods from THAT forum... Many speak of on here. 🙄

While I won't share my opinion on banning, this is not just a "can't speak on the moderation staff". The staff here is incredibly forgiving and contrary to what the banned user said, @Sircaw is incredibly thick-skinned, like a Lophius.

You mean contributed to the toxicity?

Mods here are very lenient honestly. And as others pointed out, we still have others to continue the "plastic wars' crusade many here just love.

Nope! What you and others call toxicity on here may not always be so. Like I said he didn't deserve a ban and that's my final stance.

Alpha's can not be bent. Only a working understanding can be reached. But that can only happen after the fighting itch is satiated. Things gotta be settled the old way.... but since it's online, a quick physical scrap is not available and thus you get what happened here more or less.

Amusing to see.

That's your opinion, but perhaps you should follow the entire reasoning behind his ban, it's not just a ban for him not agreeing with what a mod is saying, it is his total disrespect for the site and its members as a whole.

Let me just help you out with what happened.

I was approached by several members on this forum, fans of the Starfield game before its release.

They asked if it would it be possible to have a thread where they could discuss Starfield without the constant bombardment of trolling that goes on in every other thread when said game is mentioned.

I said sure, i will make a thread for you guys and at the start of it, I indicate this is for discussion only and please keep shit posting out of it. I specifically said at the start of the thread, please do not try to derail this thread if you do, I will remove you from it.

A subsequent thread was made.

Then, the person you are defending, in his grand wisdom decided to go straight into said thread and start shit posting away, i explained to him, there are other threads for you to do that, this one was specifically for fans of the game to discuss their stuff etc

He continued to shit post, and as a result, received more warnings from me asking him to stop.

He refused to comply. again and again and AGAIN

He was then banned from the thread to which he then ran around like a victim and started making posts in other threads bitching, crying that his RIGHTS TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH were being abused and saying things like the mods are so unreasonable, blah bla bla

He continued to agitate and was then banned.

He returns from his ban and goes straight back into antagonizing the moderation team.

That's the story in a nutshell,

So hopefully that clears this up, if you think that the moderation team was acting unreasonably, i don't know what to say.

It's just a personal crusade at this point.
This is blatantly false, you can read the thread above and you can go back to the original thread to see the truth.

I get that he is your friend and you want to defend him at all costs, but facts not feelings are what is important here.

Also decision to ban a contributing member hardly ever is done by single mod, and in this case it was unanimously agreed by whole moderation crew.

Chance to return was given, we see the outcome here.

Nohm was a beta though. Big beta energy with a big beta exit.

I got a copy of Starfield for buying an AMD card and I never redeemed. I played 10h of it on a Gamepass trial and it was pure torture.

I love that finally people cough up to my hatred of Bethesda game design. Their games were always overhyped and low quality.
🤣
