Metro - As GC already alluded to I previously wrote a feature that, in light of Microsoft’s unprecedented U-turn on Wednesday – or 180 which is the trend du jour – my rally call to boycott Xbox One is no longer applicable. Or is it? I shall come to that in due course. Do understand I wasn’t attempting a William Wallace style call to arms, and there was absolutely no mention of ‘freedom’. In summary, I attempted to provide justifiable reasons why we shouldn’t support Xbox One, with the aim to help intensify the pressure on Microsoft.
Disney Dreamlight Valley devs have officially teased the second part of the paid expansion titled The Spark of Imagination.

Waiting a decade for new instalments in franchises as massive as Fallout and Elder Scrolls feels like a waste.
Microsoft have Obsidian but I feel it's Bethesda who just don't want to play ball as they've always said they want to do it themselves.
Once MS bought Zenimax in 2020 they should have put the Outer Worlds 2 on the back burner, allow Bethesda to finish off its own Space RPG with Starfield (despite totally different tone why have two in your first party portfolio with two developers who's gameplay is a tad similar) and got Obsidian for one of their projects to make a spiritual successor to New Vegas.
When the Elder Scrolls VI is finished Bethesda can then onto the main numbered Fallout 5 themselves.
The Outer Worlds 2 started development in 2019 so putting it on the back burner wouldn't have been the end of the world, they'd have always come back to it once Fallout was done and it would have been nicely spaced out from Starfields release once they had most likely stopped supporting it and all the expansions were released.
If they did this back in 2020 when they bought Zenimax and the game had a good, steady 4 - 5 years development, you might have seen it release in 2025.
We are literally going to be waiting until 2030 at the very earliest for Fallout 5 and all they seem bothered about is pushing Fallout 76.
I disagree. Part of these games is the support for the mod community. If they move to releasing a "next game" every 2 or 3 years, the modding support plummets and the franchises turn into just another run of the mill RPG.
Make the games good enough to withstand the test of time, to keep people coming back to them and expanding on them with mod support.
Yeah, let's all advocate for smaller gaps between series' releases, then we'll probably get headlines about how the series have dropped in quality and they could have benefited from more time in the oven. Let them cook.
Bethesda [or Microsoft] would have to reallocate internal and external studios towards fallout and elder scrolls titles. Bethesda has the issue of developing 2 big IPs that are large RPGs on rotation. If you want more Fallout and Elder Scrolls, development will have to be outsourced.
No!!!! In fact people should demand much more from these greedy sob's while they are on the ropes. They've been gouging gamers for years!
How can you forgive and forget. The XBox 360 was rushed out the door with a well known defect and cause a massive fail rate. One that marked the greatest fail rate of all time. To now this whole XBox One mess. The only reason there is no DRM and 24hr online is because Sony said it was not going to do that to it's gamers. Other wise you bet it would still be in place. Now the guy who delivered all that bad news in the first place is now jumping ship.... what a train wreck it has become.
No fanboy speak people. No one should put up with this kind of nonsense. No matter what company it is.
Forgive and remember just don't act as if things didn't get fixed afterwards. 1billion dollars for repair is nothing to scuff at. plus a several remodeled version to fix the issue. we as gamers can't deny that dmr was to help game developers to maximize revenue now we all disagree with the approach do we all disagree with the idea to help out devs?
Forgive? Well no even though I find forgiving or not forgiving a consumer electronic strange.
Forget? Easily. Of course people will forget. In the coming months who cares about any of this(talking about the majority). People in general usually care when something happens for a month or so and let it wither away.
Would have had to trust them with my "gaming experience" in the first place.
Something I honestly haven't done since the first Xbox.
