Far more interesting to play fresh and creative experience like these. Oh wow, haven't heard of these. Any chance for them to take GoTY from Ragnarok?

Pump out articles to start discussions and make us think that streaming is definitely going to be the future, so that we would resist it less and be ready for it? I would say we should collectively reject this, but gamers are hopeless. Yes, most likely, thing is if streaming takes off it's very profitable for any console corps since there's no loss making hardware, R&D for making the hardware, disc distribution etc. The business model is already in place with GP and other subscription services, like how Spotify killed the whole "buying" MP3s from iTunes model earlier, netflix etc got rid of DVD/BluRay movie sales/rent( exists but not as huge as before ) And corporates love selling you services, not feel and touch products, services are much more profitable unless you're like say Apple.

Don't know about consoles disappearing but I've been seeing more and more people online who are surprised by the fact that physical game discs are still a thing.

Pentiment, I've seen gameplay, a 2D adventure game, excellent Gamepass fodder.

GOTY awards have nothing to do with creativity and new experience. Most games that win are big budget blockbuster type of games. 8 minutes ago, gecko89 said: Suure.

As for Pentiment, something tells me it's gonna be good. But will wait for release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it will be bad, just its incomparable to what big ones PS has been dropping this year and will continue to drop til th years end along with indie titles. And what's wrong with bragging about Alyx? It's arguably the best VR game made, critical and commercial success. Any collab between steam and PS Studios shows there can be co-dependency, we're already getting PS console exclusives on PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revenue is not profit, can't really say it's sustainable without profit numbers. GP had 25Mil subs on Jan21 and MS hasn't given an update on the count, but if that is somehow true it just shows there's been zero growth and is stagnant.

gecko89 Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) The snake oil salesman Phil and the evil multi-trillionaire megacorporation MS are gonna come after this dev for coming clean on the issue. They're gonna shut him up like they did other devs who called out the weak potato that is the XSS. Second gen in a row MS is f*cking up games for everyone. If multiplat devs had to gimp their vision because of XSS, I wish they just ignore it and launch for the XSX and the PS5.

Hope devs ditch XSS and develop for only XSX and PS5 if XSS holds their vision back. Now that would not only generate tons of salt but also megatons of trash since overwhelming majority of xbox consoles sold are XSS Edited October 15, 2022 by gecko89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
