UPDATE Oct 16, 2025: Developer Dotemu has clarified its viewpoint, explaining that “our community manager replied to community questions in good faith but with no context of our larger company strategy. Dotemu has always had a strong and positive relationship with Xbox and released multiple games on the platform, including this summer’s NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound. While no plan can be shared as of today, Xbox fans should stay tuned for upcoming announcements.” The original article continues unchanged below.
Edit: It was obvious the community manager was talking too much. Companies or even devs never say “No” to more money, that’s for sure.
It won’t, brazil is well know to disagree heavily with this kind of thing. Look up miltary dictaorship in brazil in the 60s and you will see the reason why many of us will deny any law that does not guarrante freedom. That is also not talking about hte fact many countries including my own in brazil have their own form of payment proccesors and all that jazz, so we are not as affected by this changes than compared to the uk or usa.
Sorry for the little history lesson there about my home country. Its has its many lows but it does have its high points and am proud of that.
I thought Expedition 33 was ‘indie darling of the year’? For a platform nobody plays and is dead, it’s sure strange there’s articles about Xbox not getting a game.
So, I was checking out a new video for Kiwami 3 game play and I noticed people commenting with a hashtag about removing someone. Apparently, people are upset about the fact that the new VA for Hamazaki (Kagawa) has committed sexual harassment and want him removed.
To be honest, they should remove the guy, and reuse an old model for Hamazaki, because they have done this before for Yakuza 4 and one of it’s main characters at that.
I’m interested in why people care so much now. Like Xbox has ALWAYS missed the most games, but this generation there are less games skipping than ever. Yet it’s the end of Xbox now (not during the one, 360, or OG era) when a single game doesn’t launch same day.
it seems to me that Xbox has become the heart of the industry. The industry as of late has grown stale and boring but this new handheld has injected new excitement.
Just imagine if Xbox left the amount of content creators that will fall in the red not to mention what has PlayStation or Nintendo done as of recent to push gaming.
The 99 cents sale is on now and going on for 6 days.
Edit: Aqua Park IO looks pretty interesting, it’s a racing game that we race down the water slide to be the first in the pool. The Water Slide is pretty big and has some turns, from the video on the store we grab power ups that allow us take shortcuts by jumping off and flying/gliding for a bit.
What are you talking about? Playstation just pioneered multiplatform releases with a checks notes “second party first party game that doesn’t count.” and Nintendo revolutionized a new wave of handheld gaming checks notes "eight years ago by combining their handhelds (which have always been the most successful) and their home consoles (which have always lagged far behind in sales even compared to Xbox except like the Wii) and today they’ve taken the bold decision in following Apple in doing a straight upgraded refresh that costs $150 more and kickstarting $80 games despite having like the lowest AAA game dev costs and smallest scopes. "
I swear, every time I see a complaint about gaming being too expensive or companies focusing too much on cutting edge tech instead of affordability, I want it to be mandatory for the complainer to have to say whether they own a Series S.
“You had a chance to vote with your wallet for affordability over cutting edge graphics. Did you?”
