It'll be Windows Store only - which is still absolutely naff, as is the PC Xbox app.
I still occasionally chuckle at Jez Cordon stating "Lag when loading one's Xbox library is to be expected" during his recent presentation for the Xbox app update. Dude has a PC right in front of him, he knows that Steam and GOG libraries are instantaneous, and yet tries a blag where the Xbox app is concerned. You might fool the console only gamers, Jez, but not dedicated PC gamers with 30+ years of experience behind them. 😂
You're not going to see Steam or Epic on Helix, far too many parameters. And you definitely won't be seeing GOG on the platform - their DRM policy alone kills that idea stone dead.
Working from home when working for someone else is a luxury, not a necessity
What about people with immobility/health issues, or someone who has to care for a family member and where remote working has been hugely beneficial to their day to day lives? Do you think they're just being lazy and simply cannot be bothered to come into the office?
Not everything is as black and white as either of you seem think.

@Weebleman
I would take what Jez says with pinch of salt. He's what's commonly known as a "bit of a bullshitter"
Still, 3 months and gone. That's got to sting a bit.

That's lovely that you modeled FemShep after your wife. 😊

Excellent!
You really can't go wrong with BatoCera
Re: Xbox RPG 'Exodus' Alters The Appearance Of Its Lead Character Due To Bad Feedback
@Fiendish-Beaver
My understanding is that you can also play as a female protagonist
That's the option I always choose, ever since FemShep.

No Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball?! What’s wrong with this generation…
They don't like boobies...
Re: The Internet Urges Xbox To Save Mass Effect
@Gabrie
EA is one of those despicable companies that would rather let an IP gather dust in a drawer than let someone else profit from it
Just like Microsoft...
Re: The Internet Urges Xbox To Save Mass Effect
@Sindayl
I can’t believe this franchise is going to be gone for ever
I can.
EA...
Their tracking record speaks for itself.
Re: Report: Microsoft Is Running Out Of Time To Save Xbox Studio Arkane
Anything can happen during negotiations, but at this point I'd be surprised if the studio is shut down
He'll be the only one surprised of the studio does shut down then...
