I meant cross platform with other PC launchers. A big problem with multiplayer games like Darktide on PC Game Pass is that when it launched the Game Pass players couldn't play with Steam users. It's the same with Palworld. Shouldn't be allowed.
just for added context: this was notified back in Jan https://www.irishexaminer.com/business/companies/arid-41318275.html
This tweet is definitely over the top and looks petty, but first place Playstation isn't going to change their stance on exclusivity because the third place console is starting a long process of folding on it. If in 5 years, Xbox is releasing 4+ games a year that were once "exclusive" and their platform growth skyrockets, Sony is going to make a change. I do think the idea of releasing a few games like this a year as a way to reach more players is a good idea. I also have a hunch that if the sales are good, the suits are going to start pushing for more and more and it may get to a point of hurting console sales. This is a very interesting dance they are starting that is basically antithetical to how this industry has worked since the 80s.
I think they are treating it all the same. They believe they can pressure Apple to open up their closed garden.
pretty sure its part of the original. These are usually a delayed result given international laws.
This just happened to my company. They announced layoffs but they end up not immediately happening outside the US. Not trying to downplay it, but more just saying its prob part of the batch we already knew about
Stoked for Chaos Gate. Gears Tactics fans should take notice.
Listening to Grubb and Mikes podcast from last night and it's cool to hear them say the same stuff as some of us. I'd like to see MS take a different approach to 'next gen' with a 700/800 dollar top tier (because Sony can't offer that as they need to still sell consoles) and have a handheld model that's cheaper and dockable like the switch for the folks who want a cheaper option. Then MS is offering something that neither PS or Switch can offer. Especially if MS keeps putting more games elsewhere to fund everything.
I do think Microsoft missed a huge opportunity in not announcing Diablo IV being released on Game Pass in a Super Bowl ad. Biggest event of the year, or four days later in a podcast. Tough decision ...
why waste money on an superbowl ad for that. 100% not worth it
One cost then $0, the other would have been what, $50M? Either or.
With all due respect to Diablo 4, an already released game coming to a subscription service is probably not big enough to put in a Super Bowl ad. That shit is expensive.
Speaking about all these screens and it leads right into a bespoke Xbox handheld device imo. That seems consistent with the messaging.
You spend $10m on a Super Bowl add to show off a new and upcoming console. You don't spend it to announce that an already released game is coming to a subscription service (which was inevitable to begin with)
That makes sense, thanks.
I wonder, are purchases unavailable when using local remote play on Xbox. I've been using the Steam Link app on Oculus and it blocks access to the Steam Store so I guess that policy applies to both cloud and remote streaming. Hopefully Apple changes that policy, just gives another reason to get an Android if you care about that feature.

it funny listening to reactions after the fact and hear most people say that the podcast could have been a write up and i was like no shit but blame the people that got whipped up over xbox leaving the business it definitely wasn't for them who do podcast or review games but for everybody else
i don't blame them since we are stuck on the same time period like let us explore pass time periods or something

I totally forgot about the rumors of the Xbox-led Mandalorian game, whew lad
The Coalition is actually making a squad based TPS in the much superior Stargate universefirst person because Coalition is making a third person one.

Captain America
Someone needs to show us what the outcome of Destiny's mission was going to be.
What do you mean?
I bet we get one before the showcase (March/April-ish) and then another one in the autumn again.
yeah now that we got games time to start the marketing beat maybe after Nintendo announcement in march.
They should shout it from the roof tops when they put CoD on gamepass. Question is will they?

sounds like it will be great
50/50
A lot of gamepass subs buy CoD and thats potentially lost revenue, but most of the sales revenue from CoD comes from PS and that isnt a risk of being cannibalized by gamepass.
The issue with a high-end console is - who is it for? And won't that just continue the trend of AAA gaming (especially some of their 1st party studios) trying to outdo Sony in the visual department, which might then increase development costs even more?
A handheld makes more sense to me than a more powerful machine that costs even more, when casual gamers are already hesitating on buying a 500 dollar machine right now.
At least the handheld can be a differentiator when compared to the PlayStation. Even though I am not quite sure how that's going to be much cheaper than a high-end console. If MS doesn't sell those at a hefty loss, then I can't see that being cheaper than 600-700 bucks either.
But it's an interesting idea.
i hope they are. so many games coming. they can easily fill that shit before non-e3.
like, for example, replaced.

The problem with that is how do you execute the software..
I definitely don't want a Series X|S situation where the handheld is essentially the 'S' and must run everything the $700 console would..like that gap in power would clearly be WAY bigger than it is now (with X and S) and would severely limit how hard the home system could be pushed. Maybe this is not what anyone in the podcast was actually suggesting anyway..
If it's separate versions of games with dedicated portable teams (like Vita) then fine I guess but that still seems like a VERY tall task to take on for a company struggling to move even home console hardware at a competitive clip.
If it is just essentially an 'official Xbox handheld PC' for gamepass and stuff that to me makes the most sense..BUT I still think that market is growing fast and by 2026 or whatever it could be lost in a sea of other powerful handhelds..if it's a third party handheld then there's really no downside for MS.
A handheld seems cool but my brain just can't comprehend a Series S or better in that way that is a slick device and lasts a good amount of time. Switch and Steamdeck are cool and all but I can't wrap my brain around it, be it Microsoft, Sony or Valve replicating their catalogue to this generation fidelity or better even with DLSS tricks.
To me it seems streaming is the only way to do it best.

Sup everybody! I really enjoyed the xbox podcast yesterday! I felt like they were pretty honest and open about our industry and about Xbox!
I think they are trying something that will benefit every player and the industry as a whole in the future. I agree with Phill, in 10 years I don't see a world of exclusive games for both Sony and Microsoft (Nintendo is different).
They got me excited and I plan to subscribe again to Pc gamepass later this month to play Persona 3, Jusant and Hifi rush! This will save me some money as I won't need to buy on PS
Not only that, I'm so curious about the handheld and the ultrapowerful next gen console! I'm intrigued!
I'm happy that the future of Xbox is bright!

If they do, it'll be when the game is announced and not a moment sooner.
