Date: October 7th, 2025 5:47 PM Author: charles XII How did they squander so much good will… they invented using dual analog for everything and making everything an FPS. The modal “game” of today resembles an original Xbox game more than anything from that gen. If only Mattrick understood gamers — that they want everything The Same.

Date: October 7th, 2025 5:51 PM Author: michael doodikoff in the past few days they have squandered more goodwill than most of the really bad corporate decisions I have ever seen. Streamers who are 20 year Xbox fanboys are saying Fuck Xbox, etc, literally everyone hates M$ right now.
50% price increase! who would have ever thought this would go well to the poor Redditors who make up most of their players
I could buy ever "day 1 release" that comes out in 2025 and it would cost less than a year subscription to gamepass ultimate |

Date: October 7th, 2025 6:43 PM Author: charles XII All of these decisions are over Phil’s head. This is why everything msft does fails. They churn through Businesses and make a quick exit if it isn’t working. $69,000,000,000k for Activision with nothing to show for it. The whole situation is way over Phil’s head because he’s just a simple Gen X gamer. But you can’t build a brand that fans will embrace if there’s constant meddling from an Indian CEO imo. The price increases are supposedly because they want to show an ROI ASAP but it’s utterly retarded when they aren’t offering anything of value. The break-even on gamepass is like 5-6 AAA games a year or something when you consider how quickly Titles go on sale. For this to happen you’d have to be the sort of person who would play Avowed on release I.e. in SSDI imo.
Meanwhile, Nintendo gets it. They know gamers are fickle and will love them/hate them in spurts for no reason. This is why they’re so conservative. They have 30% the headcount of Ubisoft. Instead of adding resources to make Games, they make No Games because they know how this shit works. They know that the more games they make, the more gamers will turn on them. |

Date: October 7th, 2025 6:16 PM Author: OYT: Dinosaur Hunter ( ) They were just ahead of the time. When the Xbox One “debacle” happened Steam was already a thing. Streaming was established. Console gamers are the only people who care about physical media - they were numerous back then but getting fewer now, plus older and fatter. Many of them are Gen X. Buying physical games at GameStop is akin to buying groceries at Dollar General - Scummy and lurid in an antiquated fashion, a relic of the old America like rusted out mills and abandoned factories.

Date: October 7th, 2025 6:49 PM Author: charles XII I thought consoles were worthless since like 2004 which is why I don’t get why you’re obsessed with putting them down now. The same points have been valid for 20 years. Western made PS2 games were targeted at like a 80 IQ 12 year old. PS5 still has Film streaming without the soap opera the effect that I can’t otherwise get rid of plus Timed Exclusives plus a good PC is expensive with weird lights on it.
But at least in 2004 PC had better games, like half life 2 vs some crap on shitcube was no contest. Now it’s all The Same anyway. Consoles are actually better than they were in 2004 relative to pc imo. |
