As if GamePass has a magical shield that protects it from price increases
great. now we get to conflate gaming with economics, politics, and ethics. I'm sure this will go well.
Nah this is it. Windows.
They probably want to start PS players at the beginning
Would you still consider this pro consumer if you learned this is just MS' way of telling you there won't be any more consoles, just PCs?
"cut down version of Windows without bloatware"
No such thing exists. Temper your expectations... Windows launching straight into the Xbox app.
For sure. Sony has been in a slump for almost 2 years. Let's not forget though that MS bought their way into this, and Sony's business model is still based on the console, not as much about making games.
They must be getting a big enough check from MS to compensate.
Steam? Lol
Close, I think you're off by one...
"If it was losing money it would of been canned by now."
I don't think that's true. Netflix operated for a really long time in the red... Lots of tech companies do that with aggressive growth targets. After growth levels off is when the changes start happening to get into the black. I think we're about to see that
None of us know for sure whether it's enough to offset that calibration. I have a strong intuition that it's not and MS is scrambling but not much data to back it.
Well GP isn't on PlayStation so that's not technically true - they're just trying to max revenue.
Not saying GP is making money - just saying going to PS doesn't prove that it's not.
Maybe he has PC GP - that's cheaper. for US it's 12/month, so $70 will get you about 6 months right now.
I loved the third series. Would have really liked to be Garrett though. I'll still check this out
Agree with @Abizzel. Somehow Nintendo transcends power via great exclusives and name recogniton. They'll do just fine again I think
We're long overdue.
It better be good, I expect it won't be good? Lol
So you're most likely going to be angry
@amp, yeah totally agree. While Linux as an OS is clearly leaner and faster, as long as we're relying on compatibility layers for games, things can get squirrelly on a case by case basis. Publishers need more Linux gamers to justify a separate build target, so it's kinda a chicken and egg problem right now
Yeah it's tricky. "Xbox" has morphed to mean different things to different people.
Console, now Windows, GamePass, and the cross platform games. There's a mix of attitudes towards all those things individually, and maybe an overarching attitude towards MS. But can't argue that the game companies MS recently bought continue to flourish, and GamePass PC has been a great value over the last year.
