Just hit 300K Gamerscore on Xbox!!!

By the way, physical games going away also means that, if a game you don’t have is ever delisted from digital storefronts, you can’t just go grab a used physical copy anymore.

Wow more bad news great

[John J @SuperPositiveGs]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Microsoft has the money to keep all these studios + 100 more up and running with zero layoffs. The $$ is there.

[John J @SuperPositiveGs]

Arkane better survive this. If not, I'm out on Xbox tbh.

[John J @SuperPositiveGs]

@_Tom_Henderson_ I'm gonna lose it

[John J @SuperPositiveGs]

[John J @SuperPositiveGs]

Wow Xbox way to screw up the GTA 6 box art. Also, Rockstar, put the damn disc in the box.

[John J @SuperPositiveGs]

@RockstarGames put a disc in the box.

[Lost in Random: The Eternal Die - Out Now! @_LostInRandom_]

One year ago today, we launched Lost in Random: The Eternal Die, set in the strange and wonderful realm of Random. Thank you for playing and being a part of this journey.

And if you haven't rolled the dice yet, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is currently 50% off on Steam!

De fato ninguém pediu um South of Midnight, e é justamente isso que o torna especial. Se a indústria só produzisse o que as pessoas já sabem que querem, nunca existiriam novas franquias.

O problema não é a existência de jogos como South of Midnight, mas a incapacidade da Microsoft de transformá-los em eventos. Você cria uma IP nova, com identidade visual própria, ambientação única e potencial para ampliar o catálogo da marca, mas não investe o suficiente em marketing para criar o desejo de jogar.

Hi-Fi Rush é outro exemplo. Ninguém estava pedindo aquele jogo porque ninguém sabia que ele existia. Mesmo assim, foi extremamente bem recebido pela crítica e pelo público e virou uma das propriedades mais elogiadas do Xbox nos últimos anos.

Se a conclusão for que só vale produzir sequências e franquias já estabelecidas, a indústria entra em um ciclo onde ninguém cria o próximo sucesso. Toda grande franquia começou como um projeto que ninguém pediu.

So after announcing a new game one solitary week ago, Xbox is closing down Ninja Theory. This is such a huge shame, man. Not cool.

[John J @SuperPositiveGs]

Ninja Theory too? They JUST revealed a new game last week. What the hell is going on at Xbox??

[John J @SuperPositiveGs]

Let it be known that Microsoft has enough money to keep 100 first-party Xbox studios up and running.

[John J @SuperPositiveGs]

I'm really hoping that Xbox lets Compulsion Games go independent instead of shutting them down. They let Toys for Bob and Tango (kind of) walk. Hopefully the rumors are false altogether, but letting them walk would be better than full closure.
