Everyday Digitals - After multiple half-hearted attempts to gain control of the narrative, Microsoft finally released a page on their website with all of the new licensing changes. They aren't as bad as some feared initially but they do tighten up control publishers have with regards to who gets to play the game and how compared to prior consoles. With that said lets go over what Microsoft can do to bring some excitement back to the XBox One.
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄
I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige
/S it's beyond a joke right now
Paul Thurrott in a recent episode commented on the on-going Microsoft fiasco hinting at more job losses and that "there's more to come".
There won't be no more acquiring game publishers from Microsoft in the future . Xbox has to pay Microsoft back. It might take two decades to do that.
There really needs to be a class action lawsuit here. You buy these companies just to put people out of jobs. And it’s not like something happened to derail their plans this WAS the plan. Microsoft has no business in this space at all.
Ninja Theory, Perfect Dark, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Wolfenstein 3, Dishonored, Prey, Doom, Quake... something tells me that bad things are going to happen to these entities under Microsoft.
The Xbox brand is expanding, as an Xbox mobile game store is opening this coming July where Microsoft will brings its "first-party portfolio."
“Bond adds that they will start on the web”
This will go nowhere.
Nice knowing you Xbox. This is what happens when the house never gets cleaned.
The only this MS is expanding is the amount of feculence it sprays on everyone who just want to enjoy gaming and make games.
The best thing MS can do for the gaming industry is leave and never return.
They need to show us the positive sides to all the seemingly negative changes they've made , as well as the capabilities of their machine. If it really is a 'next-generation gaming machine' they need to show us that their console will be able to keep up in the long run.
They need to get rid of:
- 24-hr connect
- Kinect being on 24-hr
- used game fiasco
- (for me personally) bigger hdd since all games are required to install
Basically, what people have been saying all along, stop being so anti-consumerist. THEN people might start caring about Xbone.
BTW, has anyone else noticed all the sudden Xbots on this site recently? And they all just created their accounts? and every comment is about how good Xbone is. Just saying.

What they need to do is take back mostly everything they said... Although i like the possibility of sharing my games with 10 people (meaning they don't have to buy) i DON'T like the 24 hr check-in... Since i'm now a casual gamer I rarely turn on my 360 everyday, so the thought of being "forced" to check in especially when i don't feel like it concerns me a lot. What if i go away on vacation?
Granted, it's not seen as a big deal because everything will work once you establish a connection but if i don't connect for several days then will i have several days of download updates to contend with each time?... That is a major deterrent for playing a game for a few minutes. It annoys me now with the 360 with games i haven't played in a while they usually have a title update and i have to wait...and considering my internet speed, that tends to be a few minutes as it is, which will be a lot longer for these blu-ray games.
Not to mention what happens 8 yrs from now when they announce the next xbox? Will i simply be stuck with a blu-ray player since none of the games will work when they shut down the servers?
As of right now, for my money there isn't a single game they can show that will win the public over (or at least me).
I expect that the MS show will be the usual staged presentation and any staged responses they think they can get away with. Really doubt they'll directly address the online and used game issues, because the general consumer doesn't know about it and they wont want to draw attention to it.
