"It's not my job to blow sunshine up your ass."
Elongated development cycles and huge $100 million to $500 million budgets... How do you recoup that when most games coming out are unfinished unoptimized slop... While charging $70 to $100 (for early access lol) for a AAA game that is unfinished at best.
None of these publishers understand or care that we as the people shelling out cash for their slop games are being squeezed from all sides... New expensive AAA games aren't being bought for the reasons above but more importantly we can't afford them. They shout "market conditions" while raising prices on games and hardware... Well, they're finding out we as consumers have more overwhelming "market conditions" than these multi-billion and trillion dollar companies could ever hope to understand. They are fucked and the current crash is more than well deserved.
Finished up the DLC for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle - "The Order of Giants". Now I can claim that I've 100% finished the game getting all the achievements.
All in all, it was a fun excursion tramping through underground Rome unravelling the mystery of a Mythraic Cult.
@StutteringCraig Playing on Game Pass only.
Definitely not a purchase. I already own it on BC disc. This is a novelty, nipple twisting nostalgia bate game at best.
Maybe if they and/or Xbox had felt the same way when they were part of the fold perhaps, they wouldn't have had to go independent.
But no, they lived off the piggy bank of MS largesse and now that mom has kicked them out of the house and turned off the spigot, they have to deal with reality.
Hey @XBOXSupport, @asha_shar,
When are you folks going to address the horrible download speeds on Xbox PC?
11 Mbps (yes, 11 Mbps) in 2026 is absolutely crazy & ridiculous!
If you're still heading towards a PC/Console hybrid, with Project Helix, these download speeds aren't going to cut it.
I'm trying to ignore most of the Xbox hate train since they've started their "Reset".
@asha_shar's post of the staff e-mail should be a wake up call to all publishers and dev teams.
I'm in wait and see mode and as always I wait for what the principals have to say rather than freaking out over every rumour.
@44F0rc3 Unfollowed.
I'm not following someone who denigrates me for my opinion.
Just so you know... I mainly play on Xbox and I buy alot of games from them every year.
But hey, keep sucking that Xbox cock while you lose followers for being an ass.
@44F0rc3 I'm not a whale and I care about where I spend my money. Honestly, it's people like you, who don't care that a trillion-dollar company is milking you at every turn, that's turned gaming into the shit show that is at now.
@44F0rc3@Bleedgreen92bby Def not buying a game just because it's a "console exclusive" when it's sitting in my Game Pass library.
If they want to sell those games, they need to end day one releases and then lower the price of Game Pass back down to $14.99... Which I am all for.
@zakhicks117@Silent_Knight88@Colteastwood No shit!
Trolly, you are a god amongst trolls.
I have been enlightened by our interaction and all I can do is thank you for it.
I wish you well in your travels.
@zakhicks117@Silent_Knight88@Colteastwood I don't think you're goal of "unlocking my inner tranquility" is reached by calling everyone you reply to a "retard". But if it works for you keep at it.
@zakhicks117@Silent_Knight88@Colteastwood It's not censorship to block and or mute someone it's protecting your timeline from douche bags and assholes such as yourself.
@clashreport They should just have a general strike across the board and demand some changes to their country instead of just calling out sick...
The same goes for American workers.
@xboxbrand101@MCFixer@asha_shar Definitely not for any of that, since putting a disc in a Blu-ray player isnโt much of a hardshipโฆ lol. But where are you getting your numbers from? Nothing has been announced, and in my opinion, weโre not likely to see the next generation until 2028.
