Xbox Game Studios Stupidity Hate Thread Game Pass Edition

or if it does it will be some mid range PCs running this new game focused version of windows with a xbox logo slapped on it.

Depending on the price point, that would be the most compelling "console" released in years.

Fusing Xbox with PC is pretty much the only interesting thing left they could do at this point. But it's Microsoft so I have zero faith they wouldn't just completely fuck it up in the most embarrassing fashion possible.

If MS wanted to put their money where Phil's mouth is, they'd have made a proper emulator instead of doing every game piecemeal, and put it on PC too.

Windows for series X...

 

[moocow]

It's going to be a mildly underpowered PC (with marginally better overall specs than the Steam Deck) with a comically stripped-down custom flavor of Windows 11 that can't run anything directly besides whatever their shoehorned runner allows (barring the hilariously trivial hack that will emerge within minutes that lets everyone drive a command prompt truck through the back doors all the pajeets left open).

It'll be fun to watch

I have had a fear for the last 5 years or so and might as well share it.

I was expecting Microsoft to merge xbox app, windows store, now battle.net to create niggerpox version of Steam and make everything exclusive to that shitshow. For some reason they even started putting cods on Steam again when Cod was already having a second wind of goyslop addicts with MW2 remake. That's why I don't expect that to happen soon. Which gives more time for truly hard r gamers to get into politics to outright ban this exclusivity bullshit along with forced additional launchers.

The Xbox handheld is funny to me because if this ends up turning into a flop, then I might as well just get a ROG Ally X for the holidays. I mean, I already have a Steam Deck, so I don’t know what the big deal is.

If you have the next gen version of Gears of War then check your Xbone messages - they're sending out codes for a free upgrade to this "super extra new and improved, now including snoy" edition.

To a large extent I hope the giants in the industry, notably xbox and game pass, die. I'm really starting to think the big giants have stagnated so much

The only way it might succeed is if it is easy to pirate with it.

If this doesn't scream "we're full Third-party now" then I don't know what does. R.I.P XBOX

Microsoft Plans Major Job Cuts at Xbox Gaming Division, the fourth big layoff at Xbox in the past 18 months. This is what happens when clowns are put in charge of a major corporation. Sarah Bond, the current head of Xbox, based on the few interviews she has done, shows clear signs of being a DEI hire with no passion for the industry, and Phil was demoted to being a cuck watching from the sidelines, as everything he has built up falls apart in real time. Both of them needs to be fired alongside these employees.

I hope that $69 billion Activision acquisition was worth it. They’re not even doing anything with it now.

they already did that with GFWL and see how that went.

The $69 billion acquisition was on not-E3 presentation just to show CoD and Tony Hawk's decaying face.

Holy shit, yes!

My penis is rock hard. This year was pretty underwhelming in terms of layoffs compared to the feast that was 2024, but it seems that the second half of 2025 will make up for it.

they already did that with GFWL and see how that went.

And to think Microsoft could have been the Valve/Steam if they weren't a company run by retards.

They could have made an effort to retain the PC gaming market, instead of sabotaging every internal and external attempt to do so in the vain hope more people would flock to their unprofitable, dogshit console offerings.

Thankfully, cretins are in charge of MS and we have been saved of their dominance of the PC market.

All those studios that sold themselves to Microsoft in the early 2020s must be feeling really stupid right now.
Some of them haven't even released a game yet.
