That sounds so lame lol. Fifa rolls off the tongue in a way that ‘fancy a round of EA sports FC?’ doesn’t.
Think this is not going to work well for FIFA in the end, and for that I will be delighted.
One thing is for sure, it will be somewhat of a case study in terms of the pull of branding.

For those curious about our lack of a review.
Just got a late code in from 2k’s PR for Tiny Tina’s Wonderland, going to work on a review for that non-stop and since the embargo is up I can even stream it as I’m doing the review process if I want.

Did they give you a code for the Xbox Series version or the Xbox One version?
less money for FIFA is always a good thing 
I’m not talking about dirty laundry or shaming devs. They should make their publishing criteria transparent. Not for us, but for devs.
Playing the Mario Kart tracks for the first time now. I didn’t buy the pack yet, just joined my buddies.
Surprisingly you CAN vote for the new tracks. On the other hand, Nintendo kinda had to because otherwise people that don’t have the pack can only vote old tracks or random, which would be old tracks too. That would get annoying fast.
Gotta say that the tracks feel a bit simplistic, they lack the anti-gravity element that the other MK8 tracks do have.

Thats a damn fine controller
Oh yeah definitely, guidelines are always a good thing to have up front, but they also need to make sure that the people approving the games for ID@Xbox to publish, don’t let any sort of biased get in the way. Like if it was denied by someone, the studios should be allowed to have the game reviewed by someone else to make sure that the decision for doing so was actually egregious and not just something like the person reviewing didn’t like the depiction of an animal dying or a nun going on a rampage.
Well, for now, this is all there is for information on ID@Xbox content standards

While we’re not trying to be censors, we’re also not interested in enabling extremely vulgar, offensive, or objectionable games.
Pretty vague. I think Mortal Kombat hits all 3 of those things (not ID obviously, but you get the point)

As interesting as that would be, Hoeg posted that part of the contract says that ABK can’t recognize a union. So, it looks like the only way that the Raven union can go through is after the merger and Microsoft needs to give the go ahead themselves.
The thing is that ABK cannot recognize the union without Microsoft’s approval. In theory if Microsoft allows, ABK can do that even right now. But I don’t believe that either Microsoft or ABK want unions to succeed anyway.

That is an extraordinarily bad name for a video game.
Finally!
