Xbox Live Gold needed for Skype, Internet Explorer, and “other entertainment applications”
Game Rant talked to Suda51 about a potential sequel to Shadows of the Damned, and here's what he had to say.
Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher developer CD Projekt hosted its fiscal year 2023 earnings conference, and provided details about its games and business alongside comments on the use of generative AI and licensing its IPs for mobile games.
Though this news in a way should be good new trilogy making cash taking a break from cyberpunk and all that i would like to reminded everyone that the new cdpr is pro esg. There focus going forward is to make games for everyone so the next witcher will have less everything watch the swearing/blood be political the main character might just be a woman that is trans lesbian perhaps likes dogs who knows.
see video cfo cdpr there new esg vision

I am a witcher fan enjoyed cyberpunk but i know the old devs are all gone the people that made red engine are all gone so this is a new team with a new visions under the esg the same esg that looks at a company like sweet baby as visionaries.
So take this news with a grain of salt as the chance of witcher 3 magic again is very low seeing how starfield removed gore to appease the masses and we are gun ho with live service. We will see what this looks like but keep your expectations low.
I mean remember how netflix wither is being handled though yes more on that teams side than cdpr but yikes.
I will leave rebel wolves site they are made up from former cdpr devs

Though still hush hush on there new rpg.
Hopes are high as Open Roads allows us to take in a Game Pass, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC road trip.
not surprised at aLL
Because we all know people are buying the Xbox One for apps.
Edit - We all knew this was going to happen anyway. So why has old news once again been approved? Just because it's in a manual doesn't mean it's new news.
Really Internet Explorer and Skype behind a paywall?
Maybe they can make a Firefox app that runs on the Xbone and allows users to browse the internet for free :)
Who the hell doesn't use gold anyways lol
Whatever people say:
- "oh but you're paying for Live anyway", or (as shown above)
- "so what? people aren't buying the Xbox One for apps"
All of these are, are excuses from apologists. There's ZERO reason to have these features behind the paywall. NONE. There are 81... no let me repeat that.... EIGHTY-ONE free features behind the premium Xbox Live Gold paywall. http://www.youtube.com/watc...
I don't think that even includes free-to-play games or MMOs, but maybe it does.
If you, for whatever reason, cannot pay for your subscription for one month, you cannot use your Xbox to use fundamentally FREE applications that are nothing but connections to a third-party company's servers. That is not just retarded, it's disrespectful and anti-consumer. If you support this practice, you have no concern for what is right for you as a consumer.

They're nothing but disgraceful apologists who support anti-consumer practices and don't give a crap about their fellow gamers. Excuses, excuses, bloody excuses. They're so invested in this network, they can't even see where good service ends and anti-consumer practices begin.
People have paid Microsoft $50-60 for P2P connectivity for over a decade, and this is how they thank their loyal consumer base, with nothing but pointless, self-serving restrictions.
