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

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

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

Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Palworld On Xbox Game Pass So Far?

Martsmall

@Kaloudz loads of settings you can change lile rate of xp and whether you have raids ,that's one I turned off as I got annoyed when they'd come and smash my base in

The gun for me was amazing once u get firearms it's bring it on !!!!

I didn't have the cleaver cause the pet option would change to butcher the pals and I don't have the control not to punish em when they not working fast enough, my base is a pal sweat shop and that's the way I like it lol

Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Palworld On Xbox Game Pass So Far?

Martsmall

@Kaloudz it really hit me as a suprise how addictive it was , I'm not into Pokémon at all and thought I'd give it a go to pass time .....13 hours later I'm still on it lol I've finished all the achievements, u will find traders selling stuff at a few places and you can sell all your crap , that 1k won't buy u much ,later on u will have loads of money
