Your comment history tells a different story. A quick look shows a trail of deleted posts for console warring, so let’s not pretend this is coming from a neutral place.
You also signed up last month and every contribution so far follows the same pattern. At this point the agenda is pretty obvious, even if you’re trying to dress it up as innocence.
@dreadful "MS are completely creatively bankrupt. It's so over. They can't create anything new"
This is just… objectively wrong.
Xbox, Activision, and Bethesda have launched or published new IP and new games like Ara: History Untold, Avowed, Deathloop, Ghostwire: Tokyo, Grounded, Hellblade, Hi-Fi Rush, Indiana Jones, Keeper, Ori, Pentiment, Redfall, Sea of Thieves, South of Midnight, Starfield, The Outer Worlds, and Towerborne. That’s without even touching upcoming new IP like Clockwork Revolution, Marvel’s Blade, and OD.
Revived old IP like Age of Empires, Age of Mythology, Battletoads, Fable, Killer Instinct, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Ninja Gaiden, and Psychonauts.
They’ve also taken existing franchises and pushed them into completely different genres, which is the opposite of creative bankruptcy: Gears Tactics (strategy), Halo Wars (RTS), Minecraft Dungeons and Minecraft Legends (action-RPG/strategy), and even Crash Team Rumble turning a platformer into a team-based multiplayer game.
Every major publisher does remakes alongside new IP. You don’t have to like Xbox’s output, but pretending they “can’t create anything new” is just ignoring reality.
@GamingGod "When Xbox do something good I’ll cheer it on."
First-party and major releases alone include Avowed, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Doom: The Dark Ages, Gears of War: Reloaded, Grounded 2, Keeper, Ninja Gaiden 4, South of Midnight, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, The Outer Worlds 2, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4
Game Pass added award-winning hits like Blue Prince, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and Hollow Knight: Silksong.
On top of that, Xbox landed huge ports like Black Myth: Wukong, Final Fantasy XVI, Genshin Impact, Helldivers 2, Silent Hill 2, and Triangle Strategy.
If that’s “not a great year,” then the bar has officially left the planet!

"We are actively investing in our future first-party consoles and devices designed, engineered and built by Xbox. For more details, the community can revisit our agreement announcement with AMD."
@JayJ Nah, I’m just looking at what’s actually released. You skipped over the 2025 Xbox games I listed because they don’t fit the “doom and gloom” narrative you’re pushing.
No, just can’t help but notice your account was created in October, and nearly every comment since then has been negative toward Xbox. If you have specific criticisms, it might help the discussion to explain them instead of repeating the same negativity.
There’s a clear distinction between constructive, good-faith comments and bad-faith posting that exists only to derail articles with constant negativity. It’s unfair to other users who support PureXbox financially and don’t want this space to devolve into the kind of trolling culture seen on Twitter or Reddit.
@HeavyHoggJP I’m not saying criticism or negative opinions are inherently bad-faith. Disagreement is healthy and absolutely part of good discussion. What I’m pushing back against is a pattern of engagement that adds nothing beyond reflexive negativity and repeatedly drags threads off topic.
Good-faith criticism explains why someone disagrees and engages with the substance of the article or discussion. Bad-faith posting, on the other hand, is recognizable by its intent - same talking points, same dismissive tone, no interest in dialogue, just disruption. That distinction matters.
This isn’t about creating an echo chamber or filtering out opinions that aren’t glowing. It’s about maintaining a space where discussion is actually constructive and enjoyable for people who come here to engage, not to relive the worst habits of social media outrage cycles.
All sides are welcome - but participation comes with a responsibility to contribute, not just provoke.

@TheGameThrifter This feels like concern trolling. You’re making a pretty strong claim that Microsoft is phasing out hardware - can you provide credible sources, such as official statements or reputable reporting, that actually support that?
Without evidence, it comes across as speculation presented as fact. Otherwise, this is just FUD.
