@GhostOfSparta1_ Bc Xbox struggles to make money on their own which is why they went to PS in the first place. Only reason they’re bringing back exclusivity now is to salvage any reputation they have left, and give people a reason to buy Helix. If it doesn’t work, they’ll need to sell on PS again
@DestinyBulletn What’s the point of these petitions? They don’t have to listen to anyone. It doesn’t matter if you get 500,000,000 people to sign it, doesn’t mean they’ll do it lmao
@SynthPotato They tried the free path before. Not only was it unsustainable, it also means funding for security is very difficult since it isn’t generating any revenue. Hence why the major hack happened in 2011.
@Evilxxbunny@Aaron_Kiely88@oliver_drk Not on Xbox they don’t. The console sales were so pathetically bad in the mid 2010’s, they almost shutdown Xbox for good. Gamepass was an effort to keep an audience on the hardware and attract newcomers. It didn’t work. You HAVE to sell software and on Xbox they aren’t selling.
@octopuscaveman Why is it so hard for people to understand that agreeing to being recorded while having sex and posting it on the internet forever is, in fact, different than working at a gas station. Idk why it’s so hard for people to understand lmfao
@Driskal@iShieldMaiden_ Very true. But the main question: Is Bungie/Sony okay with an exclusively hardcore player base? If so, they have to be okay with relatively mediocre sales and player numbers. If not, they have to make a change.
@giancar73012035 Sounds like you’re taking this to the extreme. If they don’t do something to attract more players, the game will shut down. Simple as that.
@GuapoGary_ I generally don’t, but the fact that the threat is there is what makes extraction shooters so fun. They’re not for everyone, but that tension is what makes it so unique.
@oliemack GPT and all these other generative AI models (either through text or images) just scrape whatever info they can find on the internet and regurgitate it to you in a way that seems familiar. It’s like jingling keys in your face and YOU fall for that? Fuck that tech. Total waste.
@GwenpostingTTV With all due respect that’s just wrong lol R6S sold over 21 million copies before going f2p, has an all time peak of 200k on steam alone, and consistently gets over 80k a day still. As of writing this, Marathon has less than 30k playing rn. I love Marathon, and I’m worried
@_TeLoo Hard disagree. The beginning has the worst quests and you barely have any combat moves. Not to mention that your stamina is base level. Traversing the world, combat, and story are all lame at the beginning, but get good/great about 5 or so hours in
@kiwitalkz Probably because they needed the game out so the can make money on it. They were probably running low on budget and couldn’t afford a rework of controls at the time. Now they can.
