@RangoTel Dead Space isn't available on either the PS4 or PS5... The majority of gamers can't not play the original, so that basically answers your questions.
@Xiovanni The slipspace engine isn't just a simple rename of the blam engine. There has been so many changes to the Slipspace engine... They aren't same anymore. It like saying the Tiger engine is just a rename of the Blam Engine.
@themightyant "If you don't like subscription services there are still business that work, standard console physical or digital purchases without that subscription fee"
That requires me to have a console. I'm trying to move away from owning local hardware that I tend to only use for a month out of the year then put it back in it box.
@BleedingDreamer If Google owned Xbox... It would have been dead with the first generation consoles. They wouldn't have stuck with it through the 360 generation especially after the money they would have lost from the RROD.
@BleedingDreamer They bail on things after dropping billions of dollars into it and giving it an honest shot. Google doesn't even remotely try. They bailed on Stadia a month after launch.
EDIT: Just look at Amazon and Facebook throwing billions dollars away over the last few years trying to gain a decent gaming base. They didnt just pack up shop and give up.
@themightyant I felt mixed on the business model. I get that people don't like the idea of paying full price for streaming games, but I don't like the idea of subscription services... I prefer the ability of being able to purchase the games I want, and not being forced to play cherry picked content on a time limit cause you never know when the game will be removed.
@themightyant I already the FAQ. But i have games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and FF15 that paid and beat 3 years during the launch months. I'll be surprised if they honor a full refund for that.
I don't consider myself a fool for jumping on a sinking ship. As a tech geek and a gamer, the idea of Stadia interest me. It was a new space with interesting tech. I'm glad that I was able to leave my mark.
While Stadia didn't get any games. I still consider Stadia to be the best streaming service compared to xCloud, GeForce Now, Shadow PC... etc.
Google is an absolute embarrassment of a company. Say what you want about Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple... etc. They aren't scare to try and stick to thing that aren't successful off the bat even if it hurt their bottomline.
@themightyant Let's not give them kudos yet. We need to learn how easy it'll be to get the refund first. (Saying this as Stadia founder with a library of 30 purchased games)
And this is why I don't bother wasting money buying these PRO ELITE... EDGE... Whatever... etc controllers. If companies can't release a decent base controller without issue. I don't expect them to release a high end one without issues.
Microsoft also isn't a hardware company. Expecting them to release a decent hardware accessory is not going to happen. We've been lucky that the Xbox One/One S/ One X and Series X|S haven't had major issues.
@InterceptorAlpha I would say HellBlade and Forza Motorsports. Turn 10 is the only home grown Xbox studio that has repeatedly shown that they aren't incompetent, and can release quality release back to back to back on time.

@Tharsman They kill off the studio... But the original team got back together, and got the rights back.
EDIT: The new studios is names Raccoon Logic studio

The scary part about this whole situation is that one of the writer for this game is now the lead writer for Beyond good and evil 2.
