RETURN TO XBOX! 🙏🏻💚🙅🏼‍♂️

Now this is an XBOX!

Hey @CallofDuty,

Add "audio tunes" to Ricochet this year and ban them from tournies. It's gotten way out of hand. Force users to close certain apps before launching.

Every POV I watch has grossly distorted audio. The competitive advantage is ridiculous now.

Sincerely,
Everyone

Microsoft needs to put the Xbox Player Voice onto the Xbox dashboard with an ad that says "vote on new features and our strategy" imo.

I think right now it's pretty skewed by online discourse and people who aren't hyper engaged aren't getting a say, if they even know it exists.

Replace this with the original Xbox boot-up sound, please. ESPECIALLY since we're celebrating the 25th anniversary this year.

[Ryan McCaffrey @DMC_Ryan]

Seeing more moves from @asha_shar today leads me to another move I'd like to see her make: start licensing the Halo IP to other talented developers, internal or external. Games Workshop does an A+ job of this with Warhammer and we get a great variety of excellent games from the franchise.

Halo has been dormant for nearly FIVE YEARS already, and the Halo we're getting this year is a campaign-only remake (aka Unreal Engine 5 warm-up project). She can't fix this overnight, but do what Games Workshop (and Lucasfilm with Star Wars) does: find talented developers with great ideas for the IP and let them cook. One idea: Kojima or Bloober Team doing a Flood-themed Halo horror game, maybe? Horror is huge these days.

The point is: we still have zero idea when the next mainline Halo game is coming while Halo Studios reboots itself, and that's a problem for what is supposedly Xbox's biggest franchise.

This is the coolest Xbox logo since the original, a full return to the dark sci-fi tech aesthetic of the og is absolutely the way Xbox should brand itself in its entirety moving forward

Good riddance to 10+ years of horrifically boring soulless corporate minimalism branding ✌️

What if Microsoft brought Mixer back?

[Larry Hryb, Gamer Emeritus 📱⌨️🖱️🎮 @majornelson]

@asha_shar @Xbox That's a great start! Keep that in mind as you begin to build out your plan.

If I may be so bold, let me add one more

New Xbox boss Asha Sharma says they have no interest in making 'soulless AI slop' 🎮

“As monetization and AI evolve and influence this future, we will not chase short-term efficiency or flood our ecosystem with soulless AI slop"

"Games are and always will be art, crafted by humans, and created with the most innovative technology provided by us"

Fable will allow you to buy your own house on a single income, this is because it is a fantasy game

Microsoft Copilot now has no hopes of global adoption, consumer or enterprise, after Google corners dominance on both Android and iOS.

If only a certain CEO hadn't killed their smartphone ...

To be clear “cognitive amplifier tools” is not only a lame as fuck corporate phrase, but also MIT studies show using ai tools regularly leads to cognitive decline and the eroding of cognitive thinking.
But sure man, the billionaires say we should be nicer so I guess we have to :p

[GOG.COM @GOGcom]

GOG is entering a new chapter.

Michał Kiciński, co-founder of CD PROJEKT and GOG, has acquired GOG from CD PROJEKT.

The mission stays the same: Make Games Live Forever.

Going back to our roots allows us to double down on what we do best: reviving classics, giving you a library you control rather than one that controls you, and offering the most gamer-friendly policies on the market.

At the same time, we will continue our close cooperation with CD PROJEKT, and their upcoming games will be available on GOG.
