@101Force I know you want to bring your own political mantra into it, but to suggest that is plainly false. Your analogy doesn’t work. Hearing him speak about engineering problems shows why he is worth what he is. To revolutionise the EV industry or to build a space company that works alongside NASA is incredible alone - but to do both is insanely impressive. I’m not sure his haters can provide examples as to why he is an awful person other than a few tweets they didn’t like.
I didn’t get them, but when someone explained them I really didn’t like them. Apparently you can buy an NFT of a digital football shirt for your team which means you “own” that digitally on a blockchain and you can be invited to events and receive offers.. big wow. What was wrong with the old way of actually owning something tangible?
@JayJ I can’t understand how anyone can be so fanatical over a company. I love my Xbox and Switch but I will still call out the BS from Microsoft and Nintendo, and so do many others around here also.
@icomma Some of the worst human suffering on earth and modern Uighur slavery to make your games console/tech vs a fratboy bro culture at Activision. Why do you think there is such a vast difference in the reporting, coverage and public response to each? It’s the equivalent of witnessing a natural disaster that displaces hundreds of thousands of people and then worrying about how some international popstar is going to be able to play their concert in that area.
If people care about the employees of the companies that make the products they use, maybe they can look into the sweatshops in China producing their games consoles or even the gruelling work conditions in Japan where the culture demands a lot more from its staff.
It's not that Xbox is better, but some of the Sony and Nintendo fanboys can be really zealous and annoying - so it's funny to see them getting trolled sometimes.
It's strange how Sony don't leverage their vast back catalogue of games. Nintendo are managing to dripfeed really old SNES and N64 games for a monthly fee.
I'm really happy with what we already have from FPS boost and backwards compatibility. I just hope Xbox will keep these enhancements going forward into any future console release. Series S/X should not be the last console that we can play old XB1, 360 or OG games at 60fps.
I've been playing Xbox on an old 32" 720p TV for a long time. Finally waiting this week for a 65" QLED with Dolby Vision, IMAX, high peak brightness, 4K120 and built-in 2.1 Onkyo soundbar and subwoofer. This Xbox update is good timing!
Being honest, Xbox achievements and "git gud" is pretty lame. Gaming is not an achievement - it's a fun thing to do with spare time and it was always supposed to be fun. If you want to compete and trash talk then at least do something physical.

He isn’t relatable, but he is a likeable and interesting guy as he has demonstrated in long form interviews.

Re: UFL's First Gameplay Trailer Is Here, And It Actually Looks Brilliant
I dread to think what they paid him, but it will get the game recognised.

Buy Sony, buy Sony!
Re: Xbox Boss: We've Changed How We Do Certain Things With Activision
I don’t care how these companies operate internally. Do they put out good quality products that I want to buy?

130 complaints is nothing..
Re: Roundup: The Game Awards 2021 - All The Winners
Elden Ring looks great, but probably not more anticipated than Starfield or BOTW2.
Re: 343 'Investigating' Achievement Delays In Halo Infinite
Just had this happen with Guardians of the Galaxy. Missing lots of previous ones I should have unlocked for progression.

Only if they go the same route that No Man's Sky went.
Re: Xbox Responds To Calls To Add 'Platinum Trophy' System For Achievements
I would love an option to disable achievements on my profile and maybe just have a time counter or games played in order of most recent.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With December 2021's Xbox Games With Gold?
One of the good things about GWG is that most months I've never heard of many of the titles, so it helps with potentially discovering a hidden gem.
Re: After Today, Xbox Won't Be Adding Any More Classic Backwards Compatible Games
We have a great selection available. Just make sure everything that currently runs on Series X/S will run on future Xbox consoles.
Re: id Software Is Hiring For A 'Long-Running Iconic Action FPS' Game
Loved Quake III back in the day. Much better than Unreal Tournament.

Re: PlatinumGames: Tell Nintendo If You Want Bayonetta 3 On Xbox
The Switch doesn't even look like it can run Bayonetta 3 well. 30fps is an optimistic target rather than locked in.

Re: Random: Whataburger Is Giving Away This Ridiculous Custom Xbox Series X
I've never heard of Whataburger, but this is how Popeyes would look as a limited edition Xbox also.
