With the JoyCons working as mice now, I just know Microsoft will abandon us and put Excel on the Switch. Probably the whole Office slate. Traitors.

There are those of us which don’t need a mouse :wink:.

I don’t see myself using it as a mouse while I’m on my couch. I’d need something flat to use the mouse on, nah. But hey who knows, maybe it will work amazingly well for shooters and rts.

What a shocker, the opinion blog post was full of it.

I bet there will be people online saying their lying to make themselves look good, while ignoring that lying could get them in shit water.

But, but… The guy whose opinions they quoted was a portfolio manager! I don’t know exactly what that means but it sounds so business-y and official! Someone with a title like that must have high level access to Microsoft’s business strategy!

Plus he was saying everything that Game Pass haters wanted to hear! That means it must be true!

Just like all the times Xbox have given data to show much more GP subscribers purchase; can’t wait to see that equally-baseless doom and gloom merchant to be shown up :man_shrugging:

The recent news on Sony makes me roll my head with so many questions. It makes it worse knowing they wasted so many time and resources, and now who knows what will come out of it. It’s layoff season. It may not happen now or this month, but it will.

I may not like what’s happening with Ubisoft, but I do pray this is good and beneficial for folks who worked on it.

What I’m fearing most is that Ubisoft get split out piecemeal, ironically one of the ‘best’ scenarios for them now is that Tencent acquire them which is absolutely ridiculous.

I’m excited for Shadows but I don’t think AC can even save them now :disappointed:.

I wonder if Microsoft would have acquired them if it wasn’t for the regulatory restraints. A £1.27 Billion Market Cap is ridiculous for the IP’s and studios that Ubisoft own.

I played AC: Shadows, and unlike the same dipshit content creators I won’t say any impressions until the 23rd.

Microsoft says that they “are well over 500 million monthly players and over the last year, we’ve seen consistent growth in monthly users on cloud”

Well well… MS not gonna leave 500 million monthly customers.

People who make shit posts about Xbox and MS are narrow minded. They are still stuck with console mind share.

Agreed…however,

Shadows being better than Valhalla for me is 100% expected but it being better than Odyssey remains to be seen.

Can understand the hype/excitement level increasing after playing the game because from a gameplay/combat perspective, it looks way better than Valhalla.

Story being really good is a plus and hope it stays that way.

Next Thursday sucks since I go back to work after a nice 20 day vacation but at least my shift is a quick 9-3 so when I get home, I can watch the Xbox Direct and then watch the previews for Shadows.
