Game designer of Braid and now The Witness, Jonathan Blow is not very happy with the direction Microsoft is taking with the Xbox One.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has received a bunch of new DLC, including two new gameplay modes, for free.
It's cheap, it's super colourful and it promises to add a little bit of magic to the Xbox Store. Yep, Farlands Journey is now available.
"Publisher 505 Games and developer ArtPlay, Inc. today release a new update (v1.5) on PC, Xbox and PlayStation including two free game modes and a free Shantae cosmetic pack, plus three premium DLC cosmetic packs to their gothic smash "Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night"." - 505 Games and ArtPlay, Inc.
This is marketing. They probably didn't even lie directly, they just said it in a way that it's more awesome than it is in fact. Like that rocket science BS lol
I'm sorry but Blow is coming across as increasingly unhinged with his hatred of all things Microsoft. I know he feels like he got a raw deal with Limbo but he doesn't have anything to back up this assertion. And, even if Microsoft reaches the 300k claim in part by using virtual servers...so what?
Given MS's history of misrepresentation this wouldn't be anything new.
Edit:
So he's asserting that basically MS is trying to do a pyramid scheme? That given forced online connection the spare CPU power of systems not in full use will go towards ones which are?
In other words, if three X1s are regularly used only for TV while one is more for gaming, the spare system power of the three other consoles gets distributed to the fourth.
Sounds like what they did with online.
Jonathan Blow is starting to sound more butthurt than nvidia...
i would not be surprised if this is true
