I always worry a bit about the erosion of the "real" gaming market and games. People getting used to $5 games isn't exactly a good thing.

We've been seeing these articles for years and the trend is they continue to eat their words.

Some even had the audacity to question the future of dedicated handhelds and even blame their nonsensical perspective on the rise of other portable devices.

Several years later and the 3DS is becoming one of the best selling video game devices of all time and the Vita continues to pick up momentum.

What I stated above among other things shows that the people getting used to $5 dollar games you mention and what not make up a large demographic that was possible never interested in hardcore, console or PC gaming in the first place.

I think you might be overlooking the power behind Amazon, Google and Apple. Don't you think they know what they're doing?

I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.

Their reputation was lost way before that. From the moment Microsoft said they entering the console business, we all knew it would be a downgrade.

What reputation is this threatening exactly? 😂

Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.

The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.

That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest.

First Forza being generated entirely via AI?

If any company would do it, it'd be them.

Isn't the point that it's irrelevant how profitable MS is, the suits have decided it's time that the Xbox division started making them money. Hence the layoffs, the pivots.

Diablo Immortal is still a thing? Ewww

What an out of season April's Fools joke

Christopher14h ago

It's quite popular on mobile since there isn't a lot of competition for games of its type that aren't even less engaging and just 'stare at your phone' games. Not to say Immortal is good, but for mobile, it's better than most.
