XboxEra Community Hangout |OT13| The Bakers Dozen

I literally tweeted this a few months ago when we first got evidence we’d see the Pixel Remasters :wink:

As it stands now, the only place to place the majority of FF on console now is Xbox; we have the ability to play 1-15 on one console, minus 11 only due to the fact that it was shuttered on console before BC became a thing on XOne. Once 16 arrives, it’ll further cement that point.

While I’ve not been a fan of 7R, I know there are plenty of people who are looking forward to it as well, and I have no doubt whatsoever that it’s coming, especially after today.

So if you’re not a current owner, you have been screwed.

I just learned that Sega was originally an American company. :exploding_head:

In May 1940, American businessmen Martin Bromley, Irving Bromberg and James Humpert formed Standard Games in Honolulu, Hawaii. Their aim was to provide coin-operated amusement machines, including slot machines, to military bases as the increase in personnel with the onset of World War II would create demand for entertainment. After the war, the founders sold Standard Games in 1945, and established Service Games the next year, named for the military focus. After the US government outlawed slot machines in its territories in 1952, Bromley sent employees Richard Stewart and Ray LeMaire to Tokyo to establish Service Games of Japan to provide coin-operated slot machines to US bases in Japan.

Sounds like Sony in reverse.

Yep, but they respected the language enough to properly pronounce セが (which is literally pronounced SAYGA…)

There’s a reference there :wink:

You joke but I did read a serious post blaming Game Pass for killing physical discs, which in turn allows Sony to price gouge for digital games. :thinking:

People have been trying to warn us for a long time that Game Pass was illegal. I guess we should have listened. :skull:

I think it might’ve been deleted, or X is having some technical difficulties. What did it say?

Was even more expensive out of the gate on PS/Switch… at least here we get a 20% discount right off the bat.
