Everything is so fucking retarded. They close down these studio without firing tardwrangler execs or retards approved the purchase of these companies. On the top of that all of these leftist faggots would continue to larp as developers if Microsoft waited even longer to tell Xbox to shave off some of the trash.
Profitability aside, this is an objectively false and retarded statement.
The real reason MS hasn't replaced the Xbox C-suite team is because nobody else is willing to take the positions.
The hell are you talking about? Set up a 3D asset store. Basically just a bunch of micro transactions.
But you play as a black or mulato man in the first one, and it was okay because he kept his mouth shut and was simply a blank slate character that with no voice or personality beyond your actions in-game. This shows that it really isn't about skin colour, it can still be good, It's about thinly veiled empowerment/reparations bullshit.
Too true, and it all depends on if you have tech nerd in the family/your friend group otherwise. Whenever I set up a PC or laptop for someone that usually includes a better browser than Edge and an adblocker. Otherwise everything else would be at default settings and they wouldn't even know that different things could be changed.
The best thing the Xbox program did for gaming was unify development tools across PC & console. The end result is PC gamers getting far more games than they otherwise would have. If it weren't for easy cross-platform development, most developers would just release for console and call it a day.
Who sets it up, and how much are they paid? Who cleans up the assets and prepares them for sale, and how much are they paid? Who's on call for trouble tickets associated with the store front, and how much are they paid? Who goes through the assets and validates that selling them carries no legal burden (e.g. do the assets themselves contain licensed IP), and how much are they paid? What's the cost of protecting our IP and enforcing the license attached to the assets? How much revenue do we expect to generate?
In retrospect I'm so grateful my original 360 red-ringed within a couple months of me buying it, forcing me onto PS3 instead. I'd hate to have to say goodbye to the library I've spent nearly 20 years building.Maybe we'll all migrate to Playstation? Probably not though.
Yes: millions out of billions use adblockers, so when 99% of your userbase don't even know what adblockers are it's irrelevant that Google blocks them.
I remember trying to explain adblockers as a concept to a boomer lecturer once and he refused to believe me that they existed and you didn't have to pay for them.
Measured by the PS3, porting was easy, but still far from trivial.
You mean transition.
And how did Microsoft keep those games on pc? And Bethesda, really?
I never ascribed any intend.
There's the PC port that plays nice. Also Agent 64 should hurry up and launch already.
It might have been? Asmongold covers some level designer went of woke tirades on social media I had completely forgotten about. So much of this blurred into the background.
Given how often Bungie has gotten caught stealing assets, plus the legally questionable status of AI art, maybe they don't want to take the risk.
Microsoft published those games; it didn't develop them.
The API calls were far more similar than not, especially compared to Sony's in-house graphics APIs. Going to hazard a guess that the soft shadows issue had more to do with the 360's USA being a special snowflake than anything.
Did the port preserve the original control scheme?
Not on PC.
I don't compare Sony and Microsoft.
DirectX 8 was a limitation with Xbox 1 ports.
AAA Publishers once again cucking me out of wall running in FPS games.
The point is publishers don't write the code. The developer does. Microsoft didn't develop Alan Wake or Mass Effect, which is why Microsoft didn't handle the ports internally. They were completely irrelevant examples to whatever you think you were proving.
Well, everyone who develops game software does. I heard far, far more positive things from devs about Microsoft tools & support in that era than about Sony. I'm not sure I heard anything positive at all about Sony.
Nah. I just look at how many titles in the 360 era came to PC vs how many PS2 titles did. If Sony had remained the undisputed king of the console industry, PC gaming would look a lot different today, and not in a good way.
Sony was only ever disputed for the first four years of the 360. Once MS pushed out the suits in favour of Ballmer loyalist lifers, they began their glorious descent into irrelevance, to be mourned only by retards, while PC gamers just whine and beg for console games to be ported to their pride parade floats.
