Remember when @Welfare was saying Xbox has sold 30m already? Lmao

30 million is not possible, even today, when the X/S was and continues to be behind the 360 and the XB1 in most markets. Not to mention that sales of Xbox consoles in the United States have always represented at least half of the total LTD.

My question is when xbox gone what will happened to this game

I'd say it will be multiplatform, as originally planned. The question is if Xbox will get a timed console exclusive or not.

Looking at Starfield and Redfall results, plus the next Doom being multiplatform since day one, I'd say it won't be a timed exclusive like Starfield or Redfall, and will be multiplatform day one.

Will bethesda suffer the same fate as tango softwork
No, because Bethesda's games sell.

It is kinda funny in that context, although it might upset some pet users that lost their pet when they watch it.

Kinda a little bit like the god of war bit, I was extremely sad after that.

But yer, I am probably being over sensitive.

No, yeah, I totally get you... I was almost in tears watching that bit in his video, but when he dropped that line, I literally bust out laughing. That's why he's a genius, takes one to have your emotions swinging from extreme to extreme like that!

You people need to stop being so negative about Xbox, it's always this constant doom and gloom, it's very unhealthy for the community. Some people just want to play their Xbox Series S in peace without you constantly displaying your dissatisfaction. If you don't like Xbox maybe it's better for you to keep it to yourselves and not try and ruin the vibe we have going on.

There are plenty of other forums for that lol. Wasn't this one made due to all the PS fans getting banned from the other places when they talked up PS or negatively about Xbox?

So to add some extra insight to this, about 3-4 months ago (March 31st to be precise), there were news circulating in Arabic gaming media that Mohammed Habbab, Head of Xbox for the MENA region is departing and starting his own company. There was a lot of speculation about the why of it all, but I think this piece of news actually explains it perfectly. Why stay when it's super clear that your role in the global positioning of the Xbox brand will be vastly diminished?

From what I hear, he was instrumental in improving Arabic language support for the platform.

I think as long as they run a console business, they can never depart Japan completely because they still need developer relations people there, like even if they don't get exclusives or new marketing deals, someone has to manage the deals that exist with Sega, Square, Pocketpair etc.

One problem they faced in the MENA region is users buying gamepass codes from the Turkey or Argentina regions at vastly cheaper prices and activating via VPN.

Lol, what does that even mean. Don't dare betray your machine god. Thats sillythink.
He's a clickbaiter that started by making xbox only content, then changed to PS, then changed back to xbox. His opinions are not genuine.

Nothing to do with machine gods. Ironic that you of all people would call that silly in any case.
