XboxEra Community Hangout |OT8| Waiting for E3 2023

With MS accusing Sony of paying pubs to keep their games off of Game Pass I can’t help but wonder what kind of bigger games we could have gotten by now and could have been coming up.

We always assumed it was either that the pub just wasn’t interested or MS didn’t pay enough, but if the accusation is true, which wouldn’t shock me at all…well…

With MS soon closing the ABK deal, absolutely having leverage with CoD I hope this BS dies down.

I think the Spider-Man issue is slightly different.

As Spider-Man was one of the ‘newer’ characters created in 1962 the public domain law shouldn’t apply until 2057. I think the issue with Spidey is that the Ditko estate are suing Disney for copyright claiming that the original creator can claim full ownership after X years (2023 for Spider-Man) under a different copyright law. TBH although I hate big corporations taking on families I think Disney will easily win this. Disney’s argument is Ditko was a Marvel employee so any work he created while employed by Marvel is Marvel’s IP not Ditko’s.

Yeah, I think ABK deal will have serious repercussions for Sony. When 70b can be thrown in the market - it is a big deal.

The CEO really seems like he is in it for his interest in games. Selling and losing control and ownership doesn’t really mix with that.

Probably never.

Definitely RE8 now. Others, I sure would like to know.

I guess it’s not dead after all

Yep!

RE8, RE2 and 3 Remake. Maybe even Tales of Arise. I guess it’s all possible now.

Yeah, it has to. It would shock me if Sony can just go continue this nonsense. MS could threaten with never bringing CoD to PS anymore, they have to simmer down.

Fucking Sony and their shit man. As if those timed deals lasting a year or longer wasn’t enough. See, this is why MS should’ve just said fuck your deals with Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo.

Seems more and more that Sony is the reason some bigger stuff just stopped coming to GP. Thankfully MS managed to get some bit stuff nonetheless.

Yeah I was wondering about that too…games that we were expecting to hit GP and never did. Well they must’ve been a lot…Sony and anyone who is defending this shit are fuckin’ clowns.

Guys. The lords had already said his time was limited and that he needed to leave several times before Gaz even showed up. Come on.:joy:

I would love to see Colin and Gaz have a debate, but I think y’all really are burning Colin at the stake for every negative Xbox take he has, yet I don’t hear anything when he praises them.

I do agree the Bethesda take is delusional, that’s about as far as I’ll go though.

Reading the announcement it sounds like they got the license form the tolkien estate… and the Tolkien estate will still have sway

Seriously, stop crying and start wiring. Fix your service.

PSN is garbage, the backend is terrible. It took years just to allow name changes. It will take serious investment and overhaul for it to be improved. Until then theres going to be issues with all of their services.

I didn’t even know there’s a trial for this. And you guys thought Xbox advertising was the only one doing bad.

But I thought it was PS+ Extra launch no?

No. Just trial. Day one launch? That’s adorable.

Really? I thought it was the same deal as Stray. At least it was promoted as such.

I find it hilarious that Killzone Shadow Fall is leaving the service. How a first-party game leaves a first-party service. It’s not like it has a licensed car or something.
