@AverageGamer Exactly!

I've said the same here numerous times.

Nadella is essentially destroying Microsoft. His whole mindset is to find a way to make EVERYTHING an overpriced and very unnecessary subscription model.

People are fed up with subscriptions. Now passed the point of fatigue. If subscription services were profitable, then so many merges and closings of many services.

Nadella absolutely needs to go.

I've said FOR YEARS on this very site game pass is not sustainable and definitely not a good thing.

If Microsoft wants keep game pass going, look for $40 - $50 month subscription fees within next 2-3 years. It's just not worth that.

Xbox Live was MUCH better product, MUCH better deal.

@DaveTheRave "PC gaming is literally the worst of all worlds. Give me a console everyday of the week thanks"

Yes!!! Times a million times over and over again. The best experience in gaming. Hands down in my opinion.

@Ricky-Spanish "they were fully grown men!!
*****'s!"

Curious. Did they look to be relatives of main character in South of Midnight?

Perfect Dark is just ANOTHER example of being a failure by not following The 6 Month Rule.

Developers really need learn go by that rule. It is much better for EVERYONE involved when do.

@TheCityPop EVERY TIME I hear updated or made for modern audience. I cringe.

All of us knows what that description means. Absolutely cringe worthy.

"My point is, I don’t know what Microsoft is doing."

Neither do Microsoft.

"the game business overall is still growing"

I ABSOLUTELY laugh every time I read that mentality in articles. Truly believe if you take out the games like candy crush, Farmville, and games like that. The entite picture is heck of a lot different.

Mobile is just an overrated fad that will go away very, very, fast, once people realize going blind staring at small screen and start developing Carpal Tunnel.

Call of Wild Angler is very fun and relaxing game.

If there will be no more Forza Motorsport content or games, I'll be INCREDIBLY pissed.

Another mistake of NOT following The 7 Month Rule.

Follow that rule and EVERYTHING works soooooooooo much better.

Again....not following The 6 Month Rule leads to issues. They never learn.

@TrevorP86 I love Elder Scrolls Online. Played thousands of hours. Purchased all the physical collectors editions. And I still frequently play ESO today.

But as I stated in my prior post, the bots are ruining the game, and bugthesda/zenimax doing nothing or care nothing about the bots ruining the experience.

It is very off putting seeing players endlessly use bots to run around the world, mining resources, etc, to sell for gold to buy crowns, unfairly outbid other guilds for traders, etc. It's lazy. It's incredibly unfair.

Anyone that uses bots should have their account and IP address permanently banned. Especially now with the player add-ons being released. Only going encourage even further unscrupulous behavior.

@Ricky-Spanish You are absolutely correct. Greed is fast destroying gaming industry at a speed I've not seen in my life.

@InterceptorAlpha I think it would be mistake do that. Turn 10 just needs to clean up multiplayer, focus on more tracks and better experience.

That would go long way. Overall I still find forza motorsport fun.

@Kaloudz Agree. Think forza motorsport 4 is one I put ton hours into. Even went all out and got fanatec Porsche wheel.

But all my time went into single player.

Turn 10 did (and honestly still do) nothing to clean up multiplayer. I have ZERO fun in dealing with all the people that think it's demolition derby from opening lap. Plus not having a lobby that forces a cockpit only cam view, just ruins experience for players like me that would absolutely enjoy a Sim experience.

@Isolte Exactly! That's why I scratch my head constantly all the fanboys repeat over and over, Game pass the best deal in gaming! Nah. Nope. Not really. Unless enjoy quality of side scrolling, game boy color games, jumping over lava pits as fun.

All this play anywhere is just a fade. It will blow over or just exist due to handful people that play 5 mins a day on cramped device as the silently ask for future vision issues and carpal tunnel.

Nadella as usual is making all the wrong calls at all the wrong times.

If it was say 10-15 years in future and internet infrastructure was better (faster, reliable speeds, ZERO data caps) it might have chance.

Today...it's just wasting money.

I'm REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, not fan of this. Not. At. All.

Bots already huge issue in the game (bugthesda seems care less even addressing it) and this will absolutely make it more of an issue.

Wonder how much of legit reason for Xbox delay due to Series S?

That's A LOT of money for something majority gamers give care less about or even want.

@JayJ Yep. Xbox cloud rubbish pretty sure came shortly after Nadella ruined Office by forcing it into unnecessary, overpriced subscription service.

Nadella needs to go.

I'm curious. Is Mindseye in that "new price point" of $70 - $80?

@andrewsqual I do agree 110% with everything you are seeing and saying.

But really not going put - - at least not yet - - all the blame on Phil. Mainly due to Nadella. Over last 10 years all nadella's vision been, cloud, cloud, cloud, cloud, cloud, more cloud, then even little bit more cloud, and also to find a way to make EVERYTHING and ANYTHING possible into an unnecessary and overpriced subscription service.

And not even get me started on the good products with incredible potential Microsoft had but nadella pulled the plug on.

The next trouble keep in mind is nadella is a complete, total AI nut. Going see lot more of that from him. Microsoft recently purchased or are hammering out the details to buy a reactor or two at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania to power their AI.

Yes. That Three Mile Island.

@TheGameThrifter Yes. You nailed it. Microsoft have no clear, definite, direction. Majority of that is due to Nadella. He needs to go. Is terrible for Microsoft.

He's basically a large, company wide version of Don Mattrick.

Xbox Data Shows 'Most' Console Owners Are Enjoying Subpar Experiences So They also Play On Tiny Screens That Will Ruin Their Eyesight And Play On Small Cramped Devices So They Get Early Carpal Tunnel As Well, Says Exec

There. Fixed the headline.

@Kaloudz Thinking it was Gran Turismo?

On this very site for years now, I've said the new Xbox console most likely be Switch style console.

My past posts absolutely prove been calling this one for a while now.

I still could be wrong. But still think I'm correct in my belief. Yet no one gives me credit here in comments section or in articles on here. Pfffffffft. Lame.

Come on now! Lol

I've looked all over online. It seems there will be no loot box edition for borderlands 4?

I'm really bummed out. Purchased loot box edition for borderlands 2 and 3. Planned on 4.

@Lup Yes, people that eat sirloin and never ate filet minion will swear sirloin is most amazing thing ever too.

@Ernie Switch 2 framerates probably better than Series S.

@Lup "Series S owners know what they bought"

Yes. A mistake. Lol

@abe_hikura Yep. The Series S was never legit or relevant. Lol

Unless someone thought the Nintendo Switch graphics were amazing, high tech, cutting edge, and ground breaking.

What? Wait?

Yet another article stating the Series S yet again incapable of running yet another game properly.

You don't say?

In other news, water is wet, fire is hot, snow is cold.

Ridiculous price for something that has battery life of...maybe 3 hours?

@Millionski Don't worry. The $100+ price point for next gen games will allow developers to hire more people.

@FraserG Grammar and critique police.

So very unnecessary. Given no thanks for all work that you do here. So sad.

@Kaloudz Depending on what experience you are looking for. The sci-fi channel mini-series is regarded the most accurate adaptation compared to novel. The David Lynch version I really enjoyed and what changes did make from book really felt like it belonged. Hard to describe. The newest ones are good but mostly geared as spectacle and eye candy.

Plus have to stomach Zendaya. Always thought she is terrible in everything she does.

Hopefully the Xbox edition will include all DLC the PC gets before then.

Really not much doubt for me switch 2 more powerful than Series S lol

Doesn't Phil and Microsoft say that EVERY year?

If it's a Halo remake or remaster that is just pure stupid to even bother to tease that.

If not a new Halo game, just keep their mouth shut. Very much an incredibly tasteless, example of bait and switch I've seen in long, long, long, time.

@ZuneTattooGuy "Many games are much larger than the discs they are printed on"

Good point. I've never, ever, seen a game released on more than one disc. Never once in history of gaming have any developer ever done that.

@Ricky-Spanish Not trying give you hard time since do like discussing on here with you.

But the fact you upgraded really says a lot you know. : )

@Nintendo4Sonic @themightyant I'm going to call malarkey on this.

Developers MAJORITY of the time develop with the lowest common denominator in mind. Thus hindering progress and development when factor in lower benchmarks.

Therefore, the Series S is ABSOLUTELY holding the Series X back.

@ZuneTattooGuy If digital is same price as physical game. Then, yes, it does cost more. Especially when factor in you own nothing. NOTHING. Just a license that could go away for any reason, at any time.

All digital games should be $20 - $30 cheaper than physical.

@Nintendo4Sonic Better watch trashing the useless, pointless, under powered, sad excuse, that is probably even less powerful than Nintendo Switch 2.

There are some diehard Series S fanboys in the fourms. Guess they appreciate having the worst experience in gaming today.

Pretty much they are choosing the equivalent scenario of driving a Honda civic when extra $100 could got them a Camaro or a vett.

@Friendly "code in a box started with pc like 15-20 years ago though"

But was it a cheaper price by $20 - $30 for doing so?
