Well, Square Enix will just die without Switch yes. Switch is fine without any publishers anyway 
They will sell another 20 maps for Mario Galaxy DLC and it will sell millions.
I did a post on the other topic but I donāt think SE would be as impactful as many would think.
When you look at the biggest Japanese games (not just JRPG) thereās other Japanese publishers who would be just as impactful.

The full-stack, scalable quantum supercomputer Microsoft is building isnāt ready just yet ā but the tech giant is already working with the government and other companies to prepare quantum-inspired algorithms to run on classic high-performance computers and, hopefully, pave the way for workloads of the future.
Oh sh1t! If Science fiction has teach me anything is that any quantum-stuff related experiments and creations have the possibility to end the world

But it does sound like nothing is certain yet in terms of SE and Sony. But I hope they do get them, not much would change for Xbox. I mean those few games we randomly did get? Meh.

Square does feel a shell of former self and Iām not saying it because of their western division selloff. I think the only good game they made this year was Triangle Strategy and thatās niche as it can get. Itās like late last gen and this have been really rocky.
Great summary! I donāt mean to sound all doom and gloom with it, if anything I think losing Square doesnāt really change a whole lot for Xbox customers given how much of it is tied up by Sony and Nintendo (although this does also mean an acquisition has a lot to gain for Xbox) - but I do think they woulda been a great choice and Iād have been real happy seeing their content on game pass.
It seems a little odd, because the rumours seem to imply there were on the verge of announcing a few weeks ago and so perhaps something delayed it, and now Square Enix has announced a completely different deal selling a separate part of itās company.

Yes! This is perfect tbh. Almost too good to be trueā¦ The interesting parts of SE sold off to a multiplat publisher and Sony waste their budget on the rest which they would moneyhat away from Xbox anyway. haha

Edit:. Looks like theyāre aware.

āItās hard for markets to be totally optimistic when inflation is going up, growth is going down and interest rates are rising fast across the globe,ā he added.
āItās clear that all of them [central banks] are talking tough at this stage. But the reality is that lots of tightening will eventually lead to economic contraction,ā he said.
āIn the euro zone and in the U.S. they are nowhere near realizing that actually there will be some form of contraction of economic activity,ā he later added.
Oh no :c
So thereās just no way of playing gamepass games offline ?
Itās been hours lol.
Game Pass games should work offline but their offline system is so damn inconsistent if you donāt do everything right.
But why, is the network down for you? Iām playing just fine currently
Never seems to work for me, DRM sucks 
And I have no clue, itās been down for like 7 hours now.
The support page says they almost have it resolved, unfortunately they donāt give a time frame outside of that
Yeah, Iāve seen that.
Iām more so annoyed at the lack of being able to play games offline than the actual network being down those things happen, I canāt get mad at that.
well something is strange this time, in the rare cases live goes down I could still play my games offline; however this time its giving me a expired subscription error not a license error. my sub is good for the next few months
