XboxEra Community Hangout |OT12| The Dirty Dozen

Studio is kind of a loose term because we often think of it as a 1:1 with game production, but don’t think it really means that. For example, Obsidian is a single studio producing multiple games simultaneously. Ubisoft is a publisher that uses multiple studios to create one game.

Could be interpreted as something as simple as three physical locations. I don’t think it’s something to read into too much at the moment.

Anyone else experiencing any issues with Xbox store? Any title I bring up just shows an error where the price/install would normally be. Not seeing anything on the status page.

We don’t yet know for sure if Xbox won’t or will be at TGS but wouldn’t it be awesome if we get some of the older games too? Especially Trials.

Yep I can’t access my wishlist or the Xbox store either via the web or my Xbox.

Guessing it’s linked to the Azure / 365 issues

It’s a pretty good game and one I’m adding to my buy when I can list(note to self, make a list of games I want to buy so that I don’t try to remember on my own).

I decided to walk home after a doctor’s appointment (about 3.5 miles) during an excessive heat warning (I’m not smart) and literally 2 minutes after walking through my front door it started to rain and hail. Amazing timing. :smile:

So heard that hardware declined by 42% this fiscal year with Amy Hood saying its expected to declined year by year.

Not gonna lie, this makes me concerned for hardware, cause am slowing thinking that Satya thinks is a wise idea to port every single thing under the sun to playstation and nintendo. Which in retrospect is gonna be horrible for their future goals and ambitions if no one goes to their console and software systems.

No i know folks will say that exclusives are a dying thing but i have to say that exclusives within the entertainment business is a necessary evil. Cause its makes what your providing unique to your own ecosystem and i think Satya and Amy to not see it this way and are jumping the gun way too much on this.

Heck i could be wrong on this in multiple ways, like with Matt stating that they will have exclusives, but hey its how i see it .

I hope that they can launch banger after banger starting with Age of Mythology and keep the ball rolling. Cause my fear of more third party developers skipping is becoming a bit too real at the moment.

Apologies for this long rant of mine. I just need to clear my mind over this.

They will never give up their hardware platform while others exist. It will be fine, they’re making insane amounts of money. Can you even imagine 6,000,000,000 let alone making that in 3 months?
