What direction should Microsoft be taking given recent announcements?
We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.
Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.
Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.
Par for Bethesda.
LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?
The ps5 version doesn't change a ton but from my small playtime it's enough to make me want to replay it just to have it running at 60.
A side note to this my PS4 version no longer boots after it's "update" so I guess that's what it feels like to own a Bethesda game on PC
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
A voice actor from The Coalition's third-person shooter series, Gears of War, has hinted at a new game announcement coming in June.
Hopefully Microsoft will go back to the original story line and get away from that woke nonsense from the last Gears game Gears of Woke! But were talking about Microsoft so all the betting money is on more of the same woke nonsense.
GFWL sucks so bad; I hate it. Good riddance.
I don't know.
But I do know I am pissed that I have about a dozen games that will probably not work just because Microsoft doesn't want to support there old titles. Even though there whole thing is cloud and connected.
If I was a big publisher or a user I would think twice before signing up for any services for my games. Because Microsoft are not supporting or helping any of the companies or users who used GFWL fix or enable there existing titles.
This is a huge indicator to me about how much you should trust Microsoft for future support of anything that requires a server.
Edited to note: I have GWFL games that I bought less than a year ago that will stop working. It's not just "old" games.
I cannot believe I actually clicked on that link.
Microsoft is not going anywhere.
Microsoft dominates PC OS market
For some reason they think they can dominate all electronic software/hardware :
Xbox
Bing
Windows Phone
GFWL
Surface
They will get rid of it and move the 1st party games to the Windows 8 App Store.
Calling it now!
