Re: Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Release Dates & Times For Xbox Series X|S

FraserG

@Isolte Yeah, it was a design choice for this specific game as swearing is actually quite a key part of it!

You'll find that the written version is toned back to only include references to swear words rather than anything in full.

PS: Thanks for your compliment on the video! PJ and Craig worked extremely hard to put this review together

Re: All New Xbox Games Coming Out In February 2025

FraserG

@Fiendish-Beaver The intent is to review at least three of the four games you've mentioned here, but I'm going to stay quiet on the whole "do you have review copies in hand" thing as different publishers have different requests when it comes to NDAs and embargo dates.

But yeah... we'll do our best for you! πŸ‘

Re: Xbox Is 'Evolving' Rather Than 'Losing' Its Identity, Says Phil Spencer

FraserG

@PROPS This article is literally trying to do the opposite. It's trying to present Phil Spencer's perspective about why multiplatform is a good thing and Xbox is "evolving" its identity πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

It references controversy of course, but that's because there is controversy - we can't shy away from that and pretend it doesn't exist.

Re: Lucky Xbox Players Are Getting Free 'Just For You' Deals This Week

FraserG

@Tasuki Sometimes it's based around your purchase / engagement history, or whether you're an Xbox Game Pass member or not. In certain situations it's just because the publisher is giving away a special deal (that's the case for Party Animals at the moment).

And in others... it seems completely random.

Re: Rumour: Xbox Reporter Teases One More Potential Surprise At Developer Direct 2025

@Dustinator626 When it comes to reporting on rumours, Jez seems to have been more reliable than plenty of others IMO πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Same with Jeff Grubb when he used to do them. YouTuber Extas1s as well. Jason Schreier at Bloomberg is another one, although he tends to focus on reports rather than throwing out rumours.

I think the issue is that the likes of Jez and Jeff share so much that they inevitably get a few things wrong (or plans change behind the scenes) and it paints them in a bad light.

Re: Talking Point: Xbox Fans Divided Over Changes To 'Rewards' System

FraserG

@RiverGenie Fair enough. We're just following trends - history tells us that people like seeing reactions from places like Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Threads etc when it makes sense.

This was originally written up as a straight Talking Point with no Reddit or Twitter links whatsoever, but I personally felt the different viewpoints added to the story.
