I think that their Gamepass strategy comes from the desire to adopt a "cloud/service" model throughout the company to create some synergy with rest of MS (because of the success they have with Azure).
I want all the leaky juicy details from all companies. The stolen code? Not good. The personal data that cane be used to steal people's identity? Really bad.
Everything else is not necessarily fair game, but I want it to leak from these big companies from time to time.
We got quite a bit from insomniac... So I'm not aure what the double standard you are talking about.
Nutella wants every user of MS products to be paying monthly for what they use, in perpetuity. They've gone so far as to break compatibility with their own products to force conversion.
Game Pass is an extension of the biggest issue every ex-head of Xbox has talked about after leaving: MS top management fundamentally does not understand art on any level, and anything creative there is either misunderstood and strangled in its crib, or somehow makes it to market and gets milked to death if it succeeds, ending with everyone getting sick of it and then it fails.
Steve Jobs was right, "They just have no taste."
Their idea of making office a subs based product was in their mind way before it technically feasible, that was in tech articles in the early 2000s.
All businesses want recurring revenu, that makes most modern software suck.
The activation bullshit introduced in WinXP was part of the prototype subscription plan, but they could never make expiring activations work until more recently, which is why Games with Gold games were originally permanent licenses on 360.
Yes, that's right. Another thing Sony had working properly YEARS before the biggest software company in the world figured their shit out.
With all the problems you could run into even with a valid license, I have made sure to keep an activator utility in my toolkit just in case. If only Defender didn't auto-delete it most of the time...
Not everyone covered the Insomniac leak. For example, Kinda Funny and Greg miller refused to even acknowledge any of it due to Miller being in Spider Man 2 as an NPC and being really close friends with those at Insomniac even though literally the day before he talked about the Suicide Squad end-game leak. Also, plenty of other outlets didn't want to cover it but covered the Capcom hack/leak from 2020 if I remember correctly so it's okay to cover a hack/leak from a company that they may not like or be friendly with but if they are, the info and them doing their actual job is off-limits?
That's what I meant by double standard. Either A) COVER EVERY HACK/LEAK or B) DON'T COVER ANY OF THEM.
Real friends provide a diaper when you leak.
and Greg Miller is an actual NPC in real life.
It is a scientifically-proven fact that Greg Miller’s soy gurn is the most punchable face in the history of mankind.
You guys cry too much. If they report on leaks or what got to do with you
Gaming media especially those who refer to themselves as journalists (lol) need to be at the very least consistent which they're not even close to being. In general, it has nothing to do with me but I don't visit the Kinda Funny's or IGN's of the world so reporting them or not means nothing but when they pick and choose, it just leads to me and others taking them even less seriously than beforehand.
Though I don’t like to cheerlead any type of hacking, after Microsoft actions yesterday I now hope that any emails sent internally around the layoffs are released.
That would have been better if that had transpired BEFORE the layoffs had happened.
Remember when MS threatened to pull out if the UK and leave us open to cyber attacks because the CMA blocked there deal.
Looks like the UK dodged a bullet there
