With a thread title like that this is what generative AI Art was made for and I'm surprised to see none here had the know how to do it

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Well that's a start.

I was actually trying to articulate how a brand can physically violet one of their fans but I guess assuming that an AI can articulate that scenario the site still has rules to follow.

Thanks for your input thou I love the wild looking AI Xbox controller.

They're probably just goinig to announce a new policy of going multiplat after a period of exclusivity as their new policy, by the way we're going to launch a new xboy handheld and xbox gen z for 2027, xbox ecosystem still the best and still the best place to play games, but also we like money so we gonna put our stuff on other consoles after the aforementioned window.

Travelling to Seattle as I speak. :messenger_neutral:

Actually just got off a 14 hr flight, shit just popped off today, every leaker is saying s different game.
Do third party publishers still need Brand Ambassadors? We may need to do a GoFundMe for the Brand Ambassadors we lose along the way.

Man, to each their own, but at this point in my life I really don't understand how or why people get in distress about more video games reaching more people. I understand exclusives are cool and all, but I think multiplatform and cross platform stuff is much cooler as it allows people to have options and preferences.
Its about meaning. Most people derive immense meaning from the games they are playing being exclusive. No exclusives means there plastic boxes are meaningless, just another random replaceable gaming device.

So much of this backlash has nothing to do with games but it's all cope from die-hard team green warriors getting dunked on by their team blue mortal enemies on Twitter.

Yeah, it's about having your identity and even self-esteem wrapped up in being an "Xbox gamer." It's pretty strange how some people do that, but it happens with all sorts of stuff. Some of these guys have decades invested in that allegiance.

Hellblade 2 is going to feel right at home on Playstation with all the walking simulators that platform has.

I'm furious with MS.

I feel like I've been screwed.

This isn't console warring. I'm just upset because I REALLY do think MS make great consoles.

But this move has been really unfair to their player base. So many people bought into their promise of a grand future of exclusives especially after the Bethesda buy out etc.

This is total BS.

I'm NOT having a meltdown.

OK.

I'm having a meltdown.

F YOU MS AND YOUR DOUCHE MOVES!

Kinda felt the same way when Sega went third party.

I’m confused. If you still get games to play in their ecosystem, why are you mad?

I think it’s an h bomb on „legacy gaming” in a long run. RemakeStation is here, Xbox does not need it, Sony exclusives were shiny mediocre, those on Xbox failed to even shine for a while. No one needs this AAA burden anymore, not even Nvidia/Amd, they have AI now.

FUT/COD yearly subscriptions should be accessed anywhere via cloud, along with mobile overpromoted shovelware - that’s how new generation perceive video games

It was fun while it lasted, but every medium have to move on eventually. Wonder which game going to wrap it all up… GTA 6 ? Or this new IP from Hideo ?

We will see, but at this time I see no longer any sense in PlayStation hardware R&D, It would be a loss on the sake of the loss, not competition…

Just watching what appears to be an Xbox focused YouTube show just then and they are all lamenting what is happening to Xbox, and then in the same breathe continue by saying they will keep buying Xbox hardware and support game pass! Do they not see that they are one of the main reasons as to why Microsoft is taking this path? If they had purchased the games instead of renting them, Microsoft wouldn’t be scrounging for money!

So what's gonna stop Sony from charging $90 per game, $100 per controller, and $800 for PS6?
The first two the PC. The later I’m afraid that PC parts are nuts these days. But yeah, Sony is going to be out of control. More, I mean. The Jimbo era was grim.

Seeing your profile pic I’d say this is not your first rodeo.

They've been hinting what to do with their products for years and you missed the clue. It's in Sea of Thieves, a game about privacy

this is clearly a joke. Don't pirate games.

Sony will indeed welcome you into their sweet bosom.

Then charge you full price again a couple of years later to get a remastered welcome.
We, Sony fans, have the exit hole bigger than the Grand Canyon. Specially the ones that were here for the diversity of games before the PS4 made it all Last of Us clones. What an awful generation and a half.

Phone reception is more important to me than human rights
The trick to not being upset is to also have a PC, a Switch and PlayStation. I think my Xbox is great and I enjoy it, but it's not like Microsoft has put any effort into making sure I need it.
I thought about something....

If my Xbox saves dont transfer over to PS5, I might have to finally invest in making my PC better...to play State of Decay 2.

Yes, for that game. Thats if that game is coming to PS5.
