Shawn Long of GAMINGtruth.com takes a look at the battle waging between digital downloads and physical copies of games.
"They want you to believe the devs under them are super stoked to work generative AI into their processes," continued Gaider, "but I assure you what they took as excitement was really a veiled wail of despair not unlike the time that team was informed of their new 'really cool' live service mandate.".
I think anyone with some common sense knew this, im glad i don't support their games anymore, what a sh!t company.
I said this yesterday. AI isn't what we want when it comes to crafting artistry. Alas, these soulless corporate morons don't care about their work, only about cutting corners as much as possible.
Has the rapid growth of Xbox made the ship too heavy? Following the closures of Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, and Roundhouse, we explore what the future of Xbox could look like.
This ship was never meant to sail, this ship was made from the get go to sink as fast as possible. It almost feels that they want to lower the standards of quality in the industry so that they can fit in
Xbox has no soul and Phil has no confidence, and it's impossible to say either do when they killed Tango and Arkane Austin.
Everything they've said since has only made them look worse to a point that they're actually less competent than Embracer.
Whe you release something like the series S and expect it not to hurt your business model, and developers have to have parity with games. Then you know Microsoft don't care. Series s is the final nail that broke developers,
While on stage with Dina Bass at The Bloomberg Technology Summit the President of Xbox, Sarah Bond, was asked about the Xbox studio closures of Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog, and Roundhouse Studios
Of course she did. She's part of the problem and will just tow the company line.
I always wondered why xbox had multiple leaders with similar titles like Phil Spencer, Matt Booty, and Sarah Bond, like, how many heads do you actually need?
Seems to me it would be more cost efficient to cut 2 of them instead of all those studios.
All digital on PC (obviously). PS3/360 - retail unless they are PSN/XBL games that are DD only.
why can't we have both?
I'm probably in the minority here but I'm very happy going digital. If we can download the games prior to launch so they're sat on the hard drive and then unlock at 00:01 on day of release that would suit me down to the ground. My only gripe is the price - a lot of new games seem to have the insane price tag of £59.99 on the UK PSN store.
I think the two co-exist quite well. There's games I'd rather own a physical copy of and games I don't mind downloading. It's really no different from renting and buying if you think about it.
How can anyone want digital-only? You're only giving more power and control to the video game industry. Sooner or later, we won't own anything.
I get digital if it costs me less (at least $10 less).
