Could Microsoft's involvement in TikTok help Xbox?

When the first rumors of Microsoft's involvement in TikTok first came about, people were quick to compare the acquisition to Mixer, Microsoft's ill-fated streaming platform. Is it a fair comparison? Let's explore.

I think TikTok would be a MASSIVE resource for MS' Ai to be let loose on to improve it.

Binarycode1356d ago

TikTok is soon to be banned in the US. the end.

Sayai jin1356d ago

Nope. They won't be able to ban TikTok and even if the current administration does, people will just use VPN.

THC CELL1356d ago

People are not going to pay to use ticktok no way

rainslacker1356d ago

They wont use VPN. Theyll just find one of the many other programs that essentially can do the same thing.

Also, it wont be banned. There is no reason it needs to be.

@Rashford, yes. I know. There is free VPN for PC as well.

Tik Tok is so lame. Like somebody said:
"I want no real control over what content comes my way and I want to scroll down infinitely until my ape brain no longer feels needy for quick blips of people's random shit." In addition to, "I wanna see 12,000 versions of 'Do you really wanna fight me?' and 'If you're happy and you know it- Shaky, Tweaky, and Lanky/Lerpy Justin Thompson's Post-Shower Dick slap version- that has since been removed yet still everyone has the Audio track for.." and the Stupid screaming "Ge-e-t O-O-oFFF Or whatever the fuck it says" water bottle gag to splash water randomly on my kids, my baby, my dogs, cats, BFF and Grandma, and now 14 million other doofuses want to make the exact same video, just with interchangeable faces, and amounts of water/water containing vessels. Don't forget all the 12-16 year old slut bag attention whores doing everything they can to get 5 seconds of fame with hair and makeup videos that are nothing but "Look at me! Now tell me I'm hawt in my DM's" fodder for all manner of sweaty pubescent and post pubescent slime to undulate and fester their musky wafts of pheromones towards.

Guhhh.... no hope for human kind.
Like if Microsoft wants to buy the stupidest media platform yet, then let them waste their money for something that is only gonna keep trending for about as long as Coronavirus continues to exist.
Oh... I forgot.
The Galaxy Store on my Samsung phone has Automatically installed it on my device every other week since February. Even tho I keep deleting it.

TikTok the most annoying app in the world. Get rid of that stupidity please.

Microsoft should have left them stay 3rd party

GamerRN1h ago

If they are let go, they can be whatever they want. They ARE 3rd party now... 🤦

PassNextquestion3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much

Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region

blacktiger1h ago

that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.

Profchaos3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.

I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games

Tacoboto3h ago

It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.

Profchaos2h ago

Possibly guven all the leaks we know the Xbox brand is really struggling in the region.

XiNatsuDragnel2h ago

Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo

Profchaos29m ago(Edited 29m ago)

I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers

TheColbertinator1h ago

The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.

I’m Glad Atlus & SE Changed Dates To Avoid Competing With Shadow Of The Erdtree

Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."

H921h ago

More intelligent than guerilla games

raWfodog3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.

HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.

It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg4h ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos4h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

I think if used correctly it could work well
