  • Game Pass and X Cloud is their strategy.

    But it turns out that there’s not a whole lot of reason to get Game Pass if the games suck, and if you want to play a game long term, you’re better off buying it once on Steam instead of paying a subscription.

    And X Cloud still sucks ass.

    They have no decent exclusives, and their purchase of Bethesda didn’t pay off because Redfall and Starfield sucked ass.

    They wasted billions on Activision Blizzard, which it seems like was entirely for the WoW and CoD IPs, and now they’re shutting other studios they scooped up with Bethesda which was purchased for the Fallout and Elder Scrolls IP.

    They’re trying to score exclusive IPs for the next gen to get people stuck in their ecosystem.






  • Love it.

    Such an incredible gaming experience with absolutely no words.

    I also love Abzū, which is kind of like a sequel to it, but also not really.

    I did try and get my girlfriend (non-gamer) to play Journey and she did not enjoy it at all, which made me realise a large part of why I love it is that it doesn’t hold your hand, and it assumes you are adept at gaming in some way.
