I love remedy games. They are a special studio for Xbox fans especially.
In a packed September it’s pretty unwise imo to give people a reason to not choose to buy your game in what will undoubtably be a month of hard decisions for buyers.

@XBOXGamePass Hey I know it must be tough to keep all of these showcase secrets. It must weigh on you heavily. If you need someone to talk to, and let some of it out, I’m your guy. !

This year we are going head to head with our predictions as we gamify this whole thing. Who do you think will win? Check out our predictions below!

@ostx78@PeterP_1985@_Tom_Henderson_ Yeah agree on all points lol but they are committed to hardware, atleast according to their messaging.
I think the best outcome for the games industry is that they remain a compelling platform, for competitions sake. So I’m optimistic they can find a way to make messy work.
@ostx78@PeterP_1985@_Tom_Henderson_ If it does have some sort of way to play DRM protected Xbox games/ some emulation layer then it could be exclusive to that particular APU.
If OEMs are able to make their own box, I don’t think that necessarily hurts Xbox though as they are doorways to the platform. 🤔
@ostx78@PeterP_1985@_Tom_Henderson_ They definitely have a lot of explaining to do when it comes to helix lol
I think it hinges on just how robust “Xbox mode” becomes. If it’s worth it to play there over windows mode, then they have a chance.
No matter what though the road ahead is the most treacherous one.
@ostx78@PeterP_1985@_Tom_Henderson_ I don’t think there is any possibility where there will be a clean break where everything is suddenly exclusive.
No matter what it’s gonna be a little messy, but it’s a neccissary amount of messy… because without exclusives there is no platform.
@ostx78@PeterP_1985@_Tom_Henderson_ I don’t necessarily agree that a vocal minority is in control, outside of some small good will gestures.
In terms of exclusives, that’s not even confirmed to exist yet. If/when it is a reality I assume (hope) it will be made clear what that means.
@NerdPropellant Most of the shelf space is reserved for software and accessories. They also make deals to appear on the planograms in appealing places and at high quantities. They used to have retail reps to make sure things go smooth / have lots of branding/merchandising. They stoped it all.
The retail space is still an important part of being in the hardware platform business. You can't succeed if you concede this vector to your competition.
Not isolated to EU either, Its happening in NA/AU as well. New gamers = growth. This cant be their first impression of #Xbox!
