@PaulTassi With Sony, at this point I could understand it because there's probably a fear that the disc version might be difficult to get for 2027 games
@GenePark Look, this is not at all related, but I have to ask if at any point in time during the conversation anyone used the red exclamation mark emoji π
@DestinLegarie I would be interested in your thoughts on this, even in a video (assuming one hasn't happened).
I don't know that they have a path where they aren't going to one of the two extremes.
@PaulTassi It really is a massive failure on the part of Xbox that we don't already have a new Fallout or Elder Scrolls. Even just saying that is a signal that things are Xbox are likely worse than we know
@PaulTassi While I think this does happen to an extent, this is also an excuse used by companies to try to explain why their most recent 6v6 hero shooter didn't do well
@PaulTassi There is a hype factor as well. People were saying this was a "generational game" that would change everything. Going from generational to fine isn't going to help much
@PaulTassi Is that actually the case? I'm not accusing, but I've heard other content creators say that there is generally a direct line to someone at a company if there is something complicated to figure out. Or a guide is provided with some general tips and trouble spots on games
@PaulTassi I think it's a problem as long as ammo is still a problem. You can drop in with a cyac kit and blow all of your ammo in the first few minutes.
And then if you can't find ammo, what are you supposed to do?
@AftermathZGame There's an impact to the Game Awards on this, regardless of if there's any other involvement.
Since it had the last spot in the show, if the game is an absolute bomb, it doesn't reflect well on the show.
@cecianasta It was the final reveal at a Game Awards that had trailers for a new Old Republic Star Wars game and the next Divinity. To end with that trailer implies that this is one of the biggest games EVER. And then they're almost completely silent despite launching in 3 weeks.
