The answer is yes. It's not even an opinion. Look at Netflix. Or any digital game store. The more you have, the less lime light other games will get. Your indie game will get one slot in the "recently added" section and then that's it. Unless it gets special promotion... which "indie hit" Boyfriend Dungeon (lol! nice one, Ben) did get a special seat at the table.

@themightyant It was one of his many interviews. This isn't the first time he has spoke on the subject of praising Sony.

But no, "hate speech," is not a good reason at all as it is used to bludgeon people who simply don't agree under the false guise of hate speech.

Oh, Phil loves his gamers... as long as they tow the company line. If you have a different opinion, he brands you as a hater with "no place in Xbox." He talks out of both sides of his mouth.

Change dot org is useless. Money talks. You're better off making a Go Fund Me (granted the company doesn't steal the money) and using the money to refund people who have receipts.

Then you better put WoW on console then, Phil.

This game has been quietly building up since launch. Impressive Mojang isn't just a one-hit wonder. Is Double Eleven just the port studio, or did they co-develop the game?

Don't get me wrong, I love a good looking game. But the problems with the original weren't it's visuals. I really hope they improve and expand the gameplay.

@OliverOwen x1000

I absolutely loved the first game. The sequel has always been in the back of my mind ever since that "2" announcement image. I never forgot. This is great news. I hope they don't pull a Life is Strange with their sequel.

@PhileasFragg I'm glad they are doing something besides that too. Just not glad they are doing literally anything. Promotions are supposed to promote brand awareness.

@Terrin lol And this is the reason why

@Terrin Oh, sup Terrin! And thank you.

@Royalblues What do you mean "you could say the same thing about me?" I didn't say anything. I was asking a question. A question that has now gone unanswered by three people who would rather virtue signal for instead of just telling me what her achievements are, lol.

@Bdbrady No. Who is Shannon. You know, the one in the article headline? I wasn't confused on who Phil was.

This makes me happy. Not gonna lie. This is what happens when you release a broken, unfinished game. Looks like the denial phase is over as people jump ship.

Microsoft really needs to look at who is playing their games and fire their promotional manager or whoever.

It only took $70 billion USD.

And promotional material suggested Halo Infinite would launch in November 2020.

Who? "As you can imagine, various industry names have been taking to social media to celebrate her achievements..." Such as??

Back when it was cool to hate Xbox, I used to laugh at all the let's play, retrospective and completion channels that would actively avoid not playing the Xbox version.

Right. Coming from the same devs who launched the game in a broken state on all platforms and are going to drip feed us content to their unfinished game... yeah, it's totally not their fault. Give me a break. I'm sick of these devs and their laziness and their lies.

@Kooky_Daisuke I was going to say the same thing. lol

"Please buy our busted tail of a game. We'll fix it. We'll patch it. We'll provide content. Pleeeease~"

Ya, you sorry suckers, buy it! 60fps on Series X eventually! Maybe one day it will be a full game!

This game got so much buzz. It's a crying shame they felt they had to strike a sleezy deal with Epic Games and PlayStation. I'll play it when and if it comes to GP.

@Johnnel SquareEnix is in bed with PlayStation again. the writing is on the wall. All the FF games were supposed to come to Game Pass within the first year they were announced. Where did they go? SE dolled them out over time, only one or two titles on the service at a time. Now they are all expiring. Still no FF14. and now 16 is an exclusive, rumor is not just one year. Read some tea leaves, man.

@NeoRatt Yes. The US is better. Slavery ended more than 200 years ago here. It's still. Going. On... in China. Look, I don't know what your bizarre deal is and why you wanted to turn this conversation into this communist anti-USA, pro-China thing. But this has gotten off topic. I answered your question, a question you already knew the answer to. People HATE having conversations with bad faith actors like you. You waste everyone's time playing games. Go engage in your socialist activism on a different website. We're trying to talk about video games here.

@Odium Oh man... no freezes, no bugs, no resets. Everything worked. It was great for once.

Kamiya is famous for blocking people on twitter than he is game development. Phil would be an idiot to lend this waste of space money for a project. How many Platinum projects came out during development for Scalebound? If you ask me, they were siphoning off Microsoft money and diverting it to other projects.

@NeoRatt Well I answered your question. Which was "when?" That's when. I don't care who you think is a hero.

Also, You are wrong about a few things. Russia, North Korea, the United Nations and the Biden Administration are all friends with China. Maybe YOU need to "learn to co-exist" with the CCP that commits genocide against Muslims and their own people, but the world doesn't need to. And what are you talking about risking "alienating a billion consumers??" They live under communism rule. Do you know what that means, son? They don't have consumer freedom, rights and a voice like they do in the West. They don't even use the internet we do. You aren't talking to any Chinese online. They are all locked away in a bubble inside their country. Do you not get it?

To reiterate my original point, is that the government institutions overseeing this investigation is probably a kangaroo court. A kangaroo court you obviously are in favor of because ulterior motives align with your globalist ideals. Cool. But just don't lie about it and waste my time with this bad faith argument.

@Odium Yeah, there always seems to be a caveat with AAA Game Pass titles. Always. I suspect when Stalker 2 drops, there will be some massive issue everyone has to deal with while justifying why its still good for absolutely no reason. Meanwhile, I played through a single-player indie Nobody Saves the World with zero issue.

@Titntin Okay. Fair enough. I was just a little surprised was all. I was a little in disbelief, but you suspended said disbelief. Just the way you worded it, as you said, wasn't particularly "well put." Like being excited for haptic feedback, ignoring that Xbox controllers have it, then changing the subject to a more generalized "capabilities," pretending I am unaware of the PS5's said capabilities. You can have your tastes, but to continue lie, project and sidestep the convo is not something I'm going to dismiss. But I was pretty much just curious if you were genuine about being excited for this game. You don't need to defend your reasoning. I get it. I also agree with the Xbox Inclusive Welcoming Committee, it's nice to have the choice.

It was crossfire, until I learned that they... split the campaign into two parts!... and are only putting the first one on GP!... and Xbox is letting them do this!

Oh, this clown. Yeah, I remember him. This was the guy who does revisionist history segments, lying about history to show social justice in a more positive light or something. He's a weirdo. Pathetic, laughable garbage.

New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe (Switch) and Fallout 4 (XSX).
NSMBU is the best game in the NSMB series. I played it on the Wii U and loved it. Finally replaying it wit the Deluxe port for the Switch. It's just weirding me out a little bit because I'm used to Mario Maker physics. Already 100%'d Fallout, but I'm playing again with a new set of 100 mods for a new experience. Wasn't planning on popping this one in and doing that, but oh well lol.

@Rural-Bandit Yeah, I'm excited for my wife to play RDR2 soon. I really wish it was with a Series X update, but it will probably have to be the og version. Should run smoothly though.

If Goldeneye turns out to be something, that would mean Nintendo is on board. I wouldn't be surprised if a Switch version is announced either along side of it or shortly after. I can't imagine we will have to wait too long after this to see Game Pass come to Switch.

@Banjo- Yeah, I'm a pathetic DQ fanboy. It's my favorite video game ip. If DQ12 is Stadia exclusive, I'm there day one, lol.

I'll be going with the popular vote on this one. We've already seen a return to Liberty City and San Andreas. It's time go go home to Vice City.

Rockstar Confirms GTA 6 is in Development... Again... But We Are Going to Pretend It Was Just Rumored Until This Point.

This is going to get a huge resurgence in sales. GTAV is as evergreen as they come.

Neil Druckmann is a rare one. He is politics suck, but genuinely seems to be a nice guy. So many people who share his outlook in the industry are full of venom and hate. Slow clap for Druckmann.

Wow. That youtube kids toy channel got his own game. Thats wild. Also... Elix II is coming out soon? I was expecting it later in the year at earliest. What a pleasant surprise.

You always want staff that are going to push back and challenge ideas. The last thing you want are Yes Men working under you that are going to go allow with every bad idea you want. Theres always the third option people forget about, the best option... The end result isn't either just "yes, this idea is good, we're doing it" or "no, this idea is terrible, forget it." The best option is initially "no as is, here is what we have problems with, how do we make it better, and eventually improved to be a yes." Game Pass seems like it is the result of the third and best option. All thanks to an understanding leader and a good support staff.

What a GIANT load of horsespit, lol. The fact that Sony is making a statement and not Bungie tells me everything I need to know. Sony had CoD and Destiny. That was it. Sony saw CoD being purchases and in desperation and fear, secured the last large FPS ip for their platform. It was a smart move. But a move out of desperation. That's the main reason. Although, I do concede on the idea that Sony has a desire to bastardize the brand with a presence on the big screen in the same way they did with Uncharted and TLOU.

These "obligatory" Bethesda timed exclusives seem pretty lackluster to me. Not saying I won't eventually get to them, but I see nothing that is hurrying me up.

@Titntin I mean, I get being so excited you need to play day one, no matter how expensive and no matter what platform.. for me, that's TES and Dragon Quest. But this? Ghostwire is the game you are going to get up on your pedestal and talk about how you absolutely can't wait to play with haptics (Which Xbox has, btw) whle talking down to the poors who apparently are just forced to suffer? lol

Cautiously optimistic. I was enjoying Modern Warfare 2019 when they completely dropped support for the game in favor of Warzone. Hoping they have their priorities straightened out a bit more this time around so they don't up and quit supporting the game at least until next year's model.

@nofriendo I'm more interesting in the belief system that you don't think laziness exists. I suppose its like emptiness, the absence or lack of something physical is described as being empty. Laziness is the lack of effort. I believe the developers lacked any effort put into this particular art style. Similar to why so many Japanese devs do cell-shaded games over and over, because its easier.
