Yeah its a bit weird seeing him sayin things like that when PS games with budgets over 200+ million started during his tenure and lest not forget the (I think?) NFT thing hes doing currently but I found the interview really insightful.

Sony is in a tough spot but I dont see them adopting a multiplatform releases strategy any time soon if ever, because their whole business is still based on the console. They are not going to undermine the value of Playstation consoles, as Xbox doesnt care that much to do.
I think before that they would consider scaling down the size of their projects/games, but how you do that when your audience is so used to big bombastic many As productions and actually demand them?
Interesting times ahead. For now, I think they will start relying on PC more.

Sony will start releasing games on other consoles as early as next year.p

I must say it would be nice if a lot of whatâs debated here could come out as an opinion piece to give a view of gamers. I quite liked how Jez simetimes puts out opinion views that has been a voice of the community.
That would be nice.
This is a cool idea but I doubt anyone on Xbox gives a fuck about what the core community thinks nowadays, they got the memo a few weeks back with the âis Xbox going multiplat?â backlash and they seem to follow this new âevery screen is an Xboxâ strategy going forward no matter what AND much faster that what most of us expected. Letâs hope this will not shrink their footing in the console space any further because hope is all thatâs left. 
I am with you (who wouldnât like that?) but this is a highly unlikely scenario considering Sony still isnât all in on releasing their games day and date on PC let alone releasing their games on other consoles in a year from now. Will they do that in the future? most likely yes but itâs still too early to see a business move like that from Playstation IMO.
Listen to what the execs are saying with regards to multiplatform releases instead of using your âintuitionâ (lol)
I just donât like the continuous yelling on twitter and sometimes it seems the mediaâs influence is stronger. You look at the way the media has ran with the Xbox going third party while absolving Sony of all their missteps. The media could have used their resources to investigate the issue properly but they didnât. I just think it would have been nice in all this situation to get an understanding of the gamers reasoning through a good opinion piece highlighting the issue. I do however agree that the message was sent through the backlash.

Id say the opinion of a lot of the gamers has been made pretty clear.

Itâs also a matter of experience, not easy having multiplatform releases and maintaining different skus. Studios have to have capacity and knowledge to execute that.
As others have said likely have to try and squeeze the current fan base more.
Telltaleâs Guardians of the Galaxy for 15 bucks.
Worth it?
Also, is it BC? Because I donât have Xbox One anymore.

I enjoyed TellTales Guardians of the Galaxy when it was brand new many years ago. Then again, I enjoy all their games (except New Tales from the Borderlands). I liked TTâs Guardians more than the SquareEnixâs Guardians. As for value, try to see a price tracker on it to see if it frequently dips to $10, sometimes games do but sometimes they donât.
As for BC, the Series consoles can play every Xbox One game except those tied to Kinect peripheral. Its only the Xbox360 games that one needs to be concerned about being BC or not.

Thanks for the help.
My only concern is that the game has been delisted from the store a few years ago and I googled it and it seems only episode 1 is on the disc, while it downloads the other episodes from the store. Wonât that cause a problem? I need to find this out for certain before I purchase.

Started to notice vignetting effect on my Samsung TV, when Square Enix logo appears at booting Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 HD and screen is white.
I know it is something normal and minimal but sucks and gets on my nerves bc I want everything to be perfect.
I know it is not enough to ask for a replacement but I may show you some picturesâŚ
Sucksss
I wonder if doing manual compensation cycles would help reduce the effect? I know most Oled tvs do so after 4 hours of use, but maybe manually adding another per day can help the image retention.

Looks like WB putting their large chunk of chips on this.

Not really. Fury didnt give a shit and purposly made it close. Which was a good thing for Ngannou because if the fury that showed up against wilder fought Ngannou ngannou would have been hospitilised. Absolutely fucking no boxing iq at all.
6 days. Its pretty clear though, Rebirth has sold worse then 16, despite more PS5s being out there. Pretty disastrous for Square.
