Hope this isn’t some kind of token gesture so MS can say “See, we don’t restrict our games to only Xbox and PC, unlike Sony and Nintendo. Please accept our proposal to buy (next game company they buy for several billion dollars).”
To be fair, it IS more than Sony or Nintendo are doing.
Not entirely. Sony has been releasing games to PC.
*with PSN requirements. Don’t confuse money grabs with altruism.
SoNy BaD.
Dude, MS has been dumping and killing the value of games so much, the entire industry is shifting to free to play live service. MS single-handedly ruined the past 10y of the games industry with their push to remove physical ownership and move everything to the cloud so they can double dip with Azure and Xbox. Furthermore they are responsible for the introduction of pay to play online and on Xbox you had to pay to play F2P games online until recently. Sony are greedy cunts but MS is not even on the same level of evil, they are pure distilled cancer and thanks to them the 2nd hand industry for game copies is struggling, everyone went live service because full price game sales went to shit thanks to gamepass (which is still not profitable) and now they have orchestrated a coup to kill Ubi so they can buy it the same way they did with Nokia. FWIW, the whole PSN debacle started with the sanctions on Russia.
Completely agree with you, but MS is doing this for money too, they just think it’s a strategy that works better for them, specially because they are selling least amount of consoles.
Because their market share is so bad that they can’t make their money back on their own hardware.
I don’t think it’s a token gesture. Microsoft is a software company; they want to sell software, not hardware. They don’t really care about xbox other than as a means to sell more software and gamepass subscriptions. Selling their games on as many platforms as possible is a logical move for them.
The first one wasn’t even good.
It was good, not great.
I was more engaged by this than the Witcher 3. I’m not saying it’s better, I’m just saying it was engaging.
I wouldn’t even say it was good.
It was aggressively mid.
I own it, I’ve played it through. I don’t think I’ll ever pick it up ever again. I’ll get this sequel when it’s under $10.
I’ve played many, many good games only once and don’t think I’ll ever play them again.
I really wanted to like it, but just couldn’t get into it. It was completely forgettable for me, and I like nearly every game that has a sci-fi setting. My bar is very low for that genre, but this one was not engaging at all for me.
Microsoft taking another L
Fire Spencer already
Fanboying consoles and platform exclusives are old and lame. Get with the times, grampa.
