Thanks, sis, I really appreciate it. Dudes like Yorch, allowed below-basic ass women like Zoe Quinn to come into the game industry and turn it upside down.
These pathetic dudes would drink these women's bath water if they allowed them to. My bad, these losers were stealing breast milk from breakroom refrigerators. That's the closest they will ever get to a woman. This dude has some nerve to say I'm the reason why the gaming industry was hijacked.
Bro hasn't built shit. Instead, he cries and complains on social media. Me, on the other hand, said fuck it. I decided to go and create my entertainment with Venus Orion Comics. Oh, best believe I will be developing games next.
You have these culture war dudes calling out the gaming industry for its woke agendas and lack of integrity. While never delivering the game they promised and scamming the community they claim to advocate for. You can't make this shit up, but somehow I am the problem.
Fuck this culture war shit.
Matthew Ball (XBOX CSO) interview with Chris Dring at The Game Business Live
• “Certain Xbox exclusives will sell fewer units than if they were multiplatform, but that is a short-term issue. Making these changes will help the Xbox console business grow in the future.”
• It is refreshing to see common sense at XBOX, demonstrating a willingness to forgo quick, easy money, the kind they would make by selling their games on PS5 or Switch, to prioritise the health and appeal of their own console.
• They understand that sacrificing software sales today is the price to pay for adding long-term value to their hardware, retaining players, and strengthening their ecosystem. Their vision isn't focused on next month; it is focused on the future of the platform.
• Matthew officially confirmed that the current demand for the consoles far outstrips physical manufacturing capacity.
• Management's statements leave no room for interpretation: they are producing units at the absolute limit but are facing severe logistical constraints. Xbox's problem at retail isn't a lack of consumer interest, something they internally view as a "privilege", but rather an industrial bottleneck.
• Selling everything you manufacture sounds great at a shareholders' meeting, but losing potential market share simply because you cannot get enough physical stock onto store shelves is a serious logistical failure in the midst of the console wars.
• He said that the AI bubble has had a major impact on the next generation of consoles.
• He has publicly admitted that they are "rethinking everything" regarding Project Helix because component costs have skyrocketed to unsustainable levels.
• The technical situation Ball revealed is critical. Chip shortages and rising material costs are expected to persist for at least another two and a half years. Although they remain fully committed to launching Helix, the redesign aims to prevent the console from launching at a prohibitive price.
• They are considering alternatives to make the hardware "flexible" and are discussing an "additive" model.
• Xbox has a new internal framework for platform exclusives, communicated internally and to partners, though not yet to the public, divided into distinct "buckets" (exclusive pipelines, massive live-service games like COD: Modern Warfare 4 that remain multiplatform, and titles fulfilling guaranteed commitments).
• They deliberately announced two upcoming exclusive titles (Gears E-Day and Clockwork Revolution) together to demonstrate that this is an ongoing, long-term program for Xbox players, rather than just a one-off anniversary stunt.
• He acknowledges that the current business model "is not healthy" and is undergoing a shift. Although they have a strict strategy for future exclusives, they are not yet ready to release the full, comprehensive list.
• When asked if prior studio commitments explain why *Clockwork Revolution* is an exclusive while *Senua* is not, the speaker jokingly cuts him off with a quick "No further comment."

When Sony went back to exclusives, the fans loved it.
XBOX has getting insane praise because they are going back to exclusives. Switch 2 sells a lot because of exclusives
Don’t care what anyone says, exclusives need to be here in order for consoles to thrive and have hype 👌
