obviously i don’t know more than j schreier or his sources, but i really expected sentinel to be a launch title for the xbox helix, which i heard is shooting for a holiday 2028 release. it lines up with what asha’s said about centering TES as a core xbox IP, hopefully still true
as much as i wanted a release date to prove me wrong, i still believe that sentinel is going to be a launch title for xbox helix, which is still a couple years out. at least we’ve gotten good at waiting…

what more do i need from a launcher? i can browse games, buy games, and launch them. anything more would be like adding a screen and touch controls to a toaster
A former Epic Games dev says Steam has become almost impossible to compete with, even if someone builds a better launcher.
Kiaran Ritchie argues that developers aren’t really paying Valve’s 30% cut for its services, they’re paying for access to Steam’s huge player base.
He believes most Steam users simply have no reason to move to another store, even if it offers a better experience.
“They played capitalism so well they broke it.”
Ritchie says that Steam has become so dominant that developers can’t afford to ignore it, leaving them with no choice but to accept the 30% cut.

@cait_ofskalitz i really didn’t like the spaceship building or piloting in starfield. all the interesting locations were places you had to fly to, meaning there were few instances of walking from one POI to another POI and getting side tracked by a cool cave or caught up in a random side quest

Unpopular opinion:
Most AAA games today would get a 6/10 if they came out in 2007.
We're grading on a curve because everything else is broken.
Name one AAA from the last 3 years that would've been GOTY back then.
