By the gods....ppl around here....just never fail to amuse Well, offcourse. Yong is a good source. As unlike you, I don't have all day to spend on a forum or internet pages. These few youtubers are a quick way to get news. Plus I never said that's only XBOX's profit. I said M$ on a spree. And that's quite true. They don't even care for how many console they sold. They care about their game service.. and that is doing really, really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they release Gaming only numbers....you ain't gona know sh*t of what the actual picture is also just flashing subscription numbers doesn't really tell how much profitable it is If you don't have time to think over or confirm facts.....better not to indulge in discussion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radicaldude Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Neither do they release sales figures nor games. Don't know what "some gamers" are so hyped about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnK Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Also I want to make one thing straight I have 0 disrespect for any veteran developer or industry men who may have worked on countless games,some of which I may have dearly enjoyed It’s just that it’s the foolishness of Xbox brand execs who create this falsehood over & over again & have been doing for so many years that something great & ambitious has already been materialised,when in reality they have been stuck in the trial & error phase for an eternity now They rush each & every studio,game & deal related announcement to give fun powder to their influencers & shills who hype things to the extent of every gamer out there starting to think that a lot of great things are in the pipeline. This is an outright bad business practice & every company should refrain from doing such things. It’s the developers who get bad name end of the day & the fans who are almost always left heartbroken There was absolutely no need to announce the studio in such a grand fashion 3.5 years ago when there was actually nothing on the table yet… But they are just continuing to repeat this practice till this date,as I said I won’t be surprised if they have Arcane(after they’ve won GOTY) at the centre stage at their next showcase & announce something that’s not even on the drawing board yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangit, I was led to believe The Initiative was some proven top tier dev I had never heard of. So they've never made a game before, PD is their first one, it's still in early development. Yet they're somehow equivalent to Rockstar?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is it PD's fault that random Xbox fan posting dumb sh*t on Twitter? So we start blaming Sony for all the stuff Ank and Radical post here or their overlord Joe miller lol. They have their interviews and studio videos out there where they clearly explain their culture and how they will make games.

Vaibhavp Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Perfect Dark has a 97 metascore. They want a high score for this one too so they are going all out. But somehow that's a bad thing. The Initiative has top talent but is not staffed for AAA production. Hard to understand I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not about Initiative it’s never about the developers as I explained in my large post It’s a very specific pattern & error always But I guess my words are too dumb for your enlightened understanding 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
