@JezCorden The series ssd timebomb issue

[RandomTweetsFromADev @vba_dev]

@asha_shar Please address the ssd timebomb issue with the series consoles. If it dies, the console dies with it.

[RandomTweetsFromADev @vba_dev]

@financefraz @rawespresso Numbers are realistic. We spend between £100-150 p/week on food. Full tank of diesel is around £60.

[RandomTweetsFromADev @vba_dev]

@McDonaldsUK Why have you removed the “make it plain” button from kiosks? It takes ages to do this now. Why remove this timesaver?

[RandomTweetsFromADev @vba_dev]

@Microsoft @Outlook
An advert in MS Outlook.. how the heck is this appropriate Microsoft? An ad imitating a spam email? You allow this?

[RandomTweetsFromADev @vba_dev]

@asha_shar If the series x was £100, I think it would sell out pretty damn fast. It would become a news story and generate its own publicity. More console owners = more game/sub sales

[RandomTweetsFromADev @vba_dev]

@neonepiphany @Ridzilla The store on console needs work. Triggers should page up/down like they used to. There should be an option to filter to developer/publisher. Some pages like demos should also be sorted by recent date by default too

[RandomTweetsFromADev @vba_dev]

@asha_shar Remove Ubisoft+, EA Play and Fortnite from the bundle too. Just offer a reduced price for those separate subs for ultimate subscribers instead. 22.99 is still too high - better but still too much for a monthly sub.

[RandomTweetsFromADev @vba_dev]

@Ridzilla Another thought: Xbox update release notes notification on the dashboard for big or significant changes. Not everyone reads Xbox wire

[RandomTweetsFromADev @vba_dev]

@asha_shar One more thing that needs to be looked at is Rewards. It’s been nerfed so much over the years, and now pretty much locked behind gamepass ultimate, it’s not worth anyone’s time anymore.

[RandomTweetsFromADev @vba_dev]

@asha_shar I hope you take this as a serious learning moment for both Xbox & MS. If anything, you should be talking to these guys to get the real inside truth that the studio managers are not going to tell you.

[Jez @JezCorden]

Microsoft has issued a statement on the claims of a former Halo art director who had some pretty damning allegations against 343i (Halo Studios) and Microsoft HR.

Makes you wonder what else is going on. Unfortunate situation, and sadly not the first time I've heard accusations like this (layoff rounds used to "remove" staff xyz manager didn't personally like).

@asha_shar Some basics that are overlooked with Xbox.

Children and adults use Xbox Live. Some adults and children living in the same household each have their own console. The adult is responsible for paying for services like GamePass. Most have more than 1 child!

[RandomTweetsFromADev @vba_dev]

@Ridzilla More filters for the store. I should be able to filter to the developer or publisher to easily find more of their games

[RandomTweetsFromADev @vba_dev]

@Ridzilla Not a high priority at all, but the blu ray player on series x has one of the worst UIs I’ve ever seen in my life. No love was shown here.

[RandomTweetsFromADev @vba_dev]

@Ridzilla HDR calibration: the image at the end of the current calibration feels useless - I don’t see what the differences are or what I should be looking for.

[RandomTweetsFromADev @vba_dev]

@Ridzilla I would also like a better audio tester for multichannel audio. Just needs an ability to test each speaker individually by button press - simple but so useful.

[RandomTweetsFromADev @vba_dev]

@Ridzilla I’ve always wanted the store fixed to navigate with the triggers for page up/down like they used to. They are implemented in a weird half assed way at the moment.

[RandomTweetsFromADev @vba_dev]

@asha_shar Have you noticed the demos in the store are not sorted by date by default? Seems a little odd and will hurt discoverability

[RandomTweetsFromADev @vba_dev]

@asha_shar

[RandomTweetsFromADev @vba_dev]

@asha_shar Keep going through the list. We have been ignored for years.
