"meaning subscribers get access at no extra cost to Microsoft’s prestigious first-party releases, like Halo Infinite or Forza Horizon 5. "
Like Halo or Forza? I'm pretty sure that's all there is, Halo & Forza.
It's a very legitimate concern and it's been my main concern with where the future seems to be headed even though atm it is a great value to the consumer. As a kid, I would've absolutely been all for it, but now monetary value is worth a little less and time playing quality titles is worth a lot more and there is no feasible way that GP increases quality of games.
I love how he reveal that Xbox management is only concerned with profits and not improving the quality of the games. I mean, I already knew that but it's nice to get insider confirmation.
I always liked Ed Fries. That core Xbox team was awesome.
Imagine what that original team could do now with MS fully backing their gaming initiatives?
They're all long gone though.
Everyone could see this but the retards drinking the koolaid (lemmings).
"They just want everyone on GamePass no matter the cost as they chase this race to the bottom style of gaming."
Bingo, that's exactly what it is.
yeah, i'm close to the end. i love the snake puzzles a lot! it truly is a nice little surprise! i gotta give apple arcade credit for turning me on to it. the touch controls were actually well executed.
I just finished it. What a great little game The narrator was pretty cool too and the whole world was filled with charm and nice little details.
The snake puzzles were the trickiest of the bunch, but it felt so satisfying when you finally figured out the solutions.
The success of Spiderman led to Sony's aquisition of Insomniac, who had recently made Sunset Overdrive, an Xbox exclusive.
So MS possibly missed out having one of the most successful dev teams as 1st party.

Only just scraped a 60. These fucks don't even realize how biased they are, just happen to prefer every pile of shit on Xbox no matter how bad it is. Lemmings are the worst IRL fanboys but that's out of neccesity, when your console has absolutely nothing going for it you're forced into that position.
Don't know why you're calling Microsoft stupid over this when it's one of the smartest decisions they could have done. Had they done a Marvel deal they'd have just wasted a bunch of money and put out a mediocre game like The Avengers game. Microsoft knew they'd fuck it up and passed.
