XboxEra Community Hangout |OT11| It Goes To 11!

Physical media is collectors item. PC is far better medium to preserve game.

This physical media talk is just platform bashing low hanging fruit.

Gamers hardly talk about it.

This. Holding preservation against Xbox just ignores the reality that they offer better preservation of their old games through BC, far better than other consoles, and their games all on PC day one, this ensures preservation even if whole MS company and their servers shut down.

I think people just are angry about the physical games, no complete, and requiring an initial connection to play, and that carries over the anger to everything else. Despite that Sony already have a digital PS5 and the reports are they might make that the default with separately sold disc

Before the tweet was loading I was thinking about Skull and Bones lol.

If it’s indeed MS that is responsible for today, damn. Also saw this.

Why is this account spreading misinformation? There is nothing to indicate that Oblivion will be a remake now or is done. Same with Indiana Jones, I highly doubt it’s close at all. I’d love a reveal next year, but even that is doubtful.

The same reason the larger media sites do it too or why they make the anti-Microsoft articles.

Some people like to fill the gaps and make up reasons for things that don’t have context, and then have that be their headcanon, lol

Bingo!

Oh Neogaf, please never change.

Someone posted this article there.

Now I know it’s fun for clowns to shit on Xbox today, it’s fine. But these utterly silly clowns actually took second run as very negative, meaning not very great, second rate. They really should look up the meaning of second run. :joy:

It’s good to see someone schooled those kids there, I like that.

If Microsoft’s aim is to really grow to 100 million users by 2027… Then they really need to start marketing Gamepass beyond America and Europe. The fact that Starfield released without Korean subtitles (or Arabic, or other similar languages in size) is stupid. They really need to start investing in specialized marketing in the regions they have no control over… Take a book from the 360 era and spread FUD and make sure that FUD doesn’t get traced back to you.

Because they’re trying to get paid for engagement and fake news plus that news being false makes negative engagement numbers.

Yeah, I mean it’s not fake news because these are real documents, but also old. Otherwise Starfield would be a two year old game now. But at least mention that. Ah well.

I do wonder how far along Indiana Jones is.

They already are, and yes they have made some investment in getting the Xbox teams in regions they’re not strong(Korea even had what I remember being the head of Xbox in Korea going to smaller gaming events to start talks). But all these things take time, they have only recently had their head of Xbox Japan announced and given her full control of operations in Japan.

As for spreading FUD, let’s not pretend that the media won’t be the first going out if their way to disprove it for Sony.
