Re: Sony Has Approached Subscriptions 'Healthier' Than Xbox, Says Former PlayStation Boss

Martsmall

I'll be the one that says I don't agree , lets face it if gp was so bad for Devs would gp have half the games it does ???? No ,the problem is no matter if gp exists or doesn't ppl are spending less on gaming as prices for everything just keep going up and up , one of the casualties of having less money is paying a hell of a lot for a game you buy for say £50 complete over a weekend then might not even touch again days are gone and it's costing a lot more to actually Create the the games now than it used to with the rising costs ,gp is actually good for the consumer for once .

i will buy games that I love and most games I wouldn't have spent the money to buy to play first of it wasn't for game pass I'm just a lot more picky nowadays in what I will pay for

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

Martsmall

I like not having to get a achievement BUT from the past streak mess ups it won't be long before someone's streak gets messed up for no reason what so ever and then earning less points because of it ,then that leads to emails to support that takes weeks of talking to different ppl to try and get it all sorted , its happened soooo manny times in the past,now even the streak protection is failing a hell of a lot of people and it's a roulette if it's going to work or not

Re: DOOM: The Dark Ages To Be Announced At Xbox's Showcase, Claims New 'Exclusive'

Martsmall

Quite frankly I don't care if it's on ps too , my main console is Xbox and I'm not going to kick off if they put some games on ps ,I'm hoping that we as Xbox users will benefit from this like from the money they will make goes back in to more games for Xbox and even some exclusives

Oh before ppl say I wait for game pass blah blah I by games as well as pay for game pass I have a really big library and I'll b honest a lot of games I've brought and they then appeared on gp ...eg I got immortals of aveum in January I think I knew it was going to game pass /ea eventually but still paid for it

Re: Microsoft CEO Comments On Xbox's New PlayStation Store Success

Martsmall

All the doom and gloomers , no they will not be putting all games on ps /nin etc , it was outed in the court case that that paid Disney so Indiana Jones would be exclusive to Xbox, you think they know so little of business that they would pay whatever that amount was then release it multiplatform ? Makes zero business sense

And for those who pay stupid amounts for GP ,get it from Brazil /turkey etc it's approx £26 for 8 months ( if GP has expired )

Re: Xbox Users Are 'Gutted' About The Latest Microsoft Rewards Nerf

Martsmall

@PsBoxSwitchOwner exactly , anyone who thinks the rewards system is FREE I've got a bridge I can sell them

They make far more than they give away FREE , they have grown into a 3 trillion dollar company by not giving stuff away FREE

They are paying for our data to get paid by others and it's not just the odd 1pence here and there It's millions

We used our hardware which is wear and tear ,electricity , our time (somedays play a pc game can take say 1 hour )
We buy Into the brand and stay with them because of the stuff we have in there already
When we play gp games our friends might go get gp so they can play with us and they might stay subbing to it so in the future the same thing
Then we stay on the platform but what if we think a game that's not on gp me and friends will enjoy ? We will buy it,more money for em
Plus the data they sell and more investors cause hey them search numbers are going up thanx to the odd pence they give us
Advertising data for the ads that they already know we like cause we just answered a poll on it

All for approx £8 a month? Yeh really FREE poor Microsoft ( or any other company that makes money from data like FB )

Re: Xbox Users Are 'Gutted' About The Latest Microsoft Rewards Nerf

Martsmall

A lot of ppl defending this and saying it's free and can't give away gp for free etc , it's never free , do you think Microsoft aren't making money off this ? They sell the search data from us our spending habits etc etc ,they get ppl into the ecosystem ( the more they get the less chance of them moving ) and the search data and user numbers look good to investors that will Invest more money , and now they give away less of what they make off us it's perfectly healthy for Microsoft

Edit : forgot to add advertisers as well , do you think rewards wants to know if we prefer pizza or bread for polls for fun ??? Some pizza company will invest in advertising off that data ka Ching more money
