Contrary to a report by Advertising Age, Microsoft's upcoming Xbox One console does not collect marketing data about users. Microsoft commented on the article today saying “We have a long-standing commitment to your privacy and will not target ads to you based on any data Kinect collects unless you choose to allow us to do so.”
Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.
"Hammerwatch II's journey to Xbox has been long and perilous. After first launching on Steam in the fall of 2023, the game finally turned up on PlayStation 5 last December. Since then, Xbox gamers who enjoyed the original Hammerwatch and the sublime Heroes of Hammerwatch have been anxiously awaiting their turn at the long-promised sequel. At last, the wait is nearly over because Hammerwatch II will hit Xbox and PlayStation 4 on April 23," says Co-Optimus.
Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"
Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.
would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.
40 million have set sail...that's great. How many are sailing now? Monthly active users....when it actually matters. How many people purchased the game is another important number.
40 Mil across Stream, Windows 10, and Xbox. Healthy numbers for sure, but when PC is the biggest platform, I expected more. It’ll be interesting to see how it does on PlayStation. Very well could be double that player count in 6 months with PS too. It’s crazy for developers to skip the most popular platform, not sure why they’d want to, but they must have had their rea$ons.
Riiiiiiiiiiiight, MS seems to "accidentally" misquote a lot of stuff lately
not this again...i thought mr albert penello cleared this up earlier. news just keeps getting recycled here on n4g.especially when it concerns the xbx one.
“We have a long-standing commitment to your privacy and will not target ads to you based on any data Kinect collects unless you choose to allow us to do so.”
Hmmm.
"We have a long-standing commitment to your privacy and will not target ads to you based on any data Kinect collects unless you choose to allow us to do so.”
So they do collect data; if you give permission. The data will be sold to advertisers and this confirms what Advertising Age said.
it is amazing how many times Microsoft has to come out and put these ridiculous rumors in the ground. Lets talk about Sony for a second the company that apparently has 15 new IPS coming out for PS4, then we found out they are indies did anyone flip shit for that? Lets talk about how HDMI capture isnt coming at launch, all they have said is "it will support it eventually" is anyone saying man Sony still is screwing us with HDMI capture? Lets talk about PSN and how crap it is compared to XBL. Lets talk about PS4 having absolutely crap for games. Face the facts doesnt matter how much crap you guys spread about the X1 it will still be better than your stupid sony crapstation/indiestation. Sony is in a financial crisis which is why all the DLC and new IPS, studios are Microsoft.
