HTC has stated that Oculus Rift exclusive games are "hampering developers" by not allowing them to scale their games to the size of the VR market.
Hardware manufacturer Moza debuted several new hardware peripherals for flight simulation at FlightSimExpo 2025.
As consoles go, the SNES has quite the family friendly image. But, just like a Pizza Hut when you look at its hygiene rating or taste its pizza or breathe inside a restaurant, it’s not always good for everyone.
hahahaha
god i had so much trouble with those damn fking birds, monkeys and giraffes haha
The golden age. No ESRB*. No ratings at all. It was glorious.
*I know the ESRB was formed by the industry to prevent others from stepping in and taking control.
Interesting on ESRB. “ The industry, pressured with potential government oversight of video game ratings from these hearings, established both the IDSA and the ESRB within it to create a voluntary rating system based on the Motion Picture Association film rating system with additional considerations for video game interactivity.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/...
Is that how the industry isn’t required to offer consumers a transferable digital token to sell games they no longer play or maybe don’t like? And then treat us all like pirates? That’s how the government is not involved, they had to placate the situation to avoid oversight.
Even as the company sets out to overhaul the very definition of Xbox, cuts at its studios risk creating a negative image reminiscent of EA's worst era
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.
That's not true at all the OG Xbox had drive and they had hunger and they wanted to accomplish something. It was a great console.
they didn't quite reach their goals and they gave up prematurely because they couldn't win. It was halfway through the Xbox 360 when kinect released and that was when they lost their way and we're a rudderless ship ever since

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.
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.
That wouldn't surprise me, as motorsport has been heading down hill since the great number 4. Where as playground have consistently put out better games. I think the two studios will be merged under playground games banner.

i do tend to agree but dont blame them since they are funding them. it happens all the time on consoles. it's too bad the industry cares more about profits than trying to push gaming to a wider audience.
any time HTC wants to step up and fund development to the tune of what Oculus is contributing then they can say what they want. But at least Oculus is ensuring that great games are helping to flood the market. If VR wants to be successful it needs content.
Then, HTC/Valve need to step up their game and make some games. They made the awesome headset. They need to put some content on there and not expect Oculus/Facebook to do it for them.
They are only porting their game to PSVR to make more profits off of PSVR owners. Sony's fine with it as Vive isn't a competitor in the console space. But HTC isn't doing it to help Sony or out of the kindness of their hearts.
I understand that VR needs to grow as a whole. But you can clearly see that they saw Sony has more users and they want to make money like Owlchemy Lab with Job Simulator did across headsets.
Utterly bullshit. This is nothing more than one DMR saying the other DMR is bad.
We'll have fanboys fighting for VR devices brand. This war will never end even if all games are on the same platform.
Next will be XBox Store vs Steam.
