It is rather the female Fable Character, that bothers me...Lots of male protagonists on that pic
...... If I wanted to play shitbox's inferior games then I would have bought their console just saying. The fastest way to make me not give a shit about any game is flash the xbox/microsoft logo in the trailer
Thats exactly whats gonna happen. Ms has given clues before
Steam could land on Xbox Series X as Phil Spencer opens the door to third-party stores
Microsoft could change the direction of the console war with this bold move
At this point it’s easy to claim that Jez Corden is a belligerent liar and full of shit. In an industry with any credibility he wouldn’t be employed. Dude is 100% grifter status and nothing more than a useful idiot.
Tbh, he has a future in cable news media. Perfect stooge.

That deal turned out to be the biggest "uno reverse card" moment in gaming history.This is all so funny because this would have never happened this generation without the Activision buyout
Remember those deal threads all of the forums, and the celebration after deal closed. Cheered them on right into becoming third party like sega.

It’s complicated, if they had managed to get the deal through without any hiccups and quickly they could’ve used Xbox’s - and industry wise - momentum and made an exclusivity play. This the original plan. The roadblocks, concessions, industry reaction, made it so that by the time it was over Xbox was in a completely different place. The platform fell down a huge set of stairs and hit every step on the way down.
So there’s two ways to look at it honestly, buying AB saves and bolsters MS’s gaming division future, but it also made Xbox a roadblock that needed to be scaled down.
There have been many that stated even during Bethesda take over, that buying publishers that get significant amount of their revenue from competitors platforms will create the financial incentives to become third party.
The size of the deal with ABK, forced their hands.
Even if ABK wouldn't release on PlayStation, would that win the console war, or make them competitive?
It would just be value destruction.
Back when Xbox one launched Don Matrick was able to use his connections to make the new game of the makers of mw2 exclusive. The effect of titan fall being associated with Xbox is something the game never recovered from. Only with a new ip apex legends did find success again.
The silver bullit thinking of getting these quick wins instead of long term vision is what created this mess, and ABK deal was in the end only last straw.
Sounds like this Validates Shinobi's leak months ago, which then have now made their way to mainstream youtubers.
They’re bound to just drop “Xbox” as brand and lean more into Windows and gamepass branding for gaming.
Gamepass is more than just value destructive. It’s industry destructive… but MS will still lean on it in attempt to grow Windows store vs steam. Hopefully they learn their lesson since it’s already killed their console business.
Their console run is so over. Even with a steam machine clone. Optimization user nightmare dealing with cheap hardware vs Sony’s streamlined ecosystem.
They’re best off going third party. At the end of the day game devs need their games to make $ and they’re not doing that with gamepass. They need actual paying customers.
Gamepass has only hurt them and continues to trend downwards

The tears from the Xbox faithful flow freely. This must be very concerning news for my friend @Concurseiro do Futuro
Sony isn't dying at all, the opposite: they are growing in most areas, some of which are at all time high levels.
Their consoles have the largest active userbase ever, they make more revenue and profit than ever and their first party games break their own sales records with new games released almost every year.

Will you bots get some new bullshit NPC talking points already?
You can't say they're not dying then say they're growing in most, not all areas. Playstation doesn't have more users than ever and the metrics are not all time highs. Get some facts.
Revenue and profit are two different things. New games are not released every year. Stop with the lies and caveats of 'mostly', 'almost'.
If you're going to use fluffy language then don't respond at all.
