@NEStalgia your the reason I used the guide button now. But yeah I think the guide is where they want to direct people but people like the main area. But MS needs to do a better job explaining the guide button.
@NEStalgia that’s the issue. They want people to use the guide button but people insist on using the desktop. Like people who don’t use folder on their PC.
@kihaennem yeah so Assassins creed is not an indie game. I mean there are several others but that’s the big one. Speaking of Indies Slime Rancher 2 is great game
To be clear these are the same people two and half years ago that announced they weren’t making a Series S version. And in fact, they haven’t said anything about a Series S version. I guess no one told them it’s mandatory.
Anyway, I would not waste much air on them. If anyone has actually read through all the Twitter comments they actual said they’d have to put load screens in the Xbox version. Which the Xbox SSD is not that much slower. Then they referenced Ratchet and Clank which we know now can run on an HDD.
So no I wouldn’t give them any air at all. Plus their game was announced 3 years ago.
@SplooshDmg because really they were never going to take the golden goose away. That would be dumb. They just wanted the profits from COD, not kill the profits.
@S1ayeR74 MS had multiple close door meetings with the CMA for concessions. The CMA didn’t try to come up with concessions earlier this year when they had ample time. Sorry no your arguments do not stand. They had plenty of time. And that’s a fact.
@S1ayeR74 if they renegotiation the deal the process in all of the countries starts again and we go through this for another two years. As for the CMA needing more time. They’ve already had a year and half. Literally they had all that time to look over and come up with concessions then. Instead of coming up with concessions they just blocked it only for CAT to say you have to look and this better. That was last month.
@NEStalgia yup. And they are claiming the exact same points with a few add ons. I’m sorry judge but we know you said this but you are wrong. I mean maybe she’ll say she was wrong but wow.
@WallyWest well their case was a joke and their expert wasn’t very good at explaining his research. I don’t know what to tell you but you think they are going to magic a better case literally within 48 hours?
They might win but their case is really weak as far as cases go.
@WallyWest the thing is MS wanted a different judge. The FTC insisted on this one. And agreed it was fine after the judge said it wouldn’t sway her decision. A bit hard to argue that it’s an issue now.
@Somebody the thing about appeals you have to actually prove something was wrong with how the trial was conducted.
What the FTC is actually trying to do knowing there is no appeal is get the emergency injunction extended past the July 18th deadline so that that MS and ABK have to renegotiate.
To go further the FTC based on their current powers can’t find anything that would allow them to block the deal. They want more time to try to find a way to block the deal.
@Cashews depends on the demo. Sea of Stars demo didn’t come to Xbox originally. It’s an indie game and more attention is a good thing.
I don’t buy into those best on or perfect fit. Why? Well if you play your switch in TV mode and some people do, what’s the difference? It’s highly subjective to how people play.
@NEStalgia @SplooshDmg yeah I’m not going to count on anything. I loved the lawsuit and the FTC did terribly. Does that matter though? Now they have their sights on Amazon. Meta failed. I don’t know I like the judge though.
@NEStalgia that’s the most accurate description of his testimony. It add such a colossal waste of time. But honestly I’ve come to expect this kind of circus with Kahn.
@Tharsman whilst I agree with that. I’m still annoyed at Lee’s testimony. He ran long because he refused to talk so now we miss out on live testimony. And of course Nintendo see Sony as a competitor. But I think it’s about the exact nature of the COD deal. Which honestly should have happened before this.
@SplooshDmg exactly. Sega and MS hate eachother so it’s just “for the tech”.
Anyone can think or consider anything. I don’t find anything stunning about considering options. It is what actually takes places that matters. This articles are kind of boring to me.
@WallyWest oMG we agree on something. This might be end if the world. He’s viewpoint is a skewed. I think GP does great for some games. But terrible for others. Depends on the game.

Re: Quantum Error Dev: Xbox Version Needs More Time Due To 'Slower SSD'
@GamingFan4Lyf but isn’t that always the case? Games toward the end of Gen look and play better because people have a better idea of the parameters.

Re: Xbox 'Game Pass Core' Reportedly Replacing Xbox Live Gold This September
@Wheatly they will be adding 2-3 titles per year per the Xbox wire blog . So yeah rotated.
Re: Xbox 'Game Pass Core' Reportedly Replacing Xbox Live Gold This September
@Wheatly they’d kind of have to rotate it at some point. I’m assuming it’s 25 Xbox titles. Like stuff MS owns the IP for.

@Moonglow nope and she just ruled against them again. Now they have to get an appeals court to make a decision by midnight tomorrow
Re: FTC Appeals Court's Ruling Permitting Microsoft's Acquisition Of Activision Blizzard
@NEStalgia yup. And they are claiming the exact same points with a few add ons. I’m sorry judge but we know you said this but you are wrong. I mean maybe she’ll say she was wrong but wow.
@JayJ they just had their budget slashed I think.
Re: FTC Appeals Court's Ruling Permitting Microsoft's Acquisition Of Activision Blizzard
They just appealed the case to the same judge that denied them originally ._.

I’m glad IGN took over running it so it wasn’t two hours of streamers and 30 minutes of content. I think it was well paced.
Re: Xbox Wins FTC Court Case As Judge Denies Preliminary Injunction
@Utena-mobile maybe it as a bit anti climatic but we got a nice court case with some dirty laundry to digest. I love legal battles like this XD

I don’t think this is terrible but I don’t think it’s great. It’s definitely “MID”. I do think they are doing better now.
Re: SEGA Remains 'Very Close' With Xbox, But Isn't Open To Acquisition Talks Right Now
@NEStalgia @SplooshDmg
(Q How does Xbox compare some of the other platforms on there?
It is the smallest
Q How does it compare to PlayStation to Xbox?
Roughly twice as big.
Q What about Nintendo?
Roughly twice as big as PlayStation. 4x as big as Xbox.)
Now remember folks Nintendo doesn’t “compete”.

@SplooshDmg I remember that. It’s just about cloud they said. Nothing more.
Re: SEGA Remains 'Very Close' With Xbox, But Isn't Open To Acquisition Talks Right Now
@Tharsman they had to bump to video because that Imbecile Lee wouldn’t answer anything. And it’s in Judges quarters, so we won’t get anything spicy 😥
Re: SEGA Remains 'Very Close' With Xbox, But Isn't Open To Acquisition Talks Right Now
@Tharsman I wouldn’t say Nintendo. Nintendo is pretty known for its privacy.

Re: Xbox Was Thinking About Acquiring Square Enix Back In 2019
