So do those 3-month GP Ultimate codes on sites like CDKeys still provide Ultimate, or will they convert to some lower tier after the recent changes?
If you redeem the codes before the September 12 you should get the Ultimate (full month). After that date, who knows.So do those 3-month GP Ultimate codes on sites like CDKeys still provide Ultimate, or will they convert to some lower tier after the recent changes?
The thing I took away from the latest piece of the doc is that they confirm what ai felt when watchint originally. Emily is incredibly talented and a huge asset that they should make sure to promote and treat well. Like 70% of employment is attitude and disposition and you could tell almost immediately she was a keeper.
Is she? It seemed like she was going to help out Tim with his prototype at the end.Sounds like she's leading one of their upcoming games, if I heard them right.
I really hope Asif's armored slug game is one of the other ones. Looked like weird, simple, yet unique fun. With a little budget that could be something cool.
Yeah, Mafia DE.oh snap didn't expect an actual scoop! the remake for the first one?
All of the discussion around this are silly. MS has done some terrible things including raising prices, closing studios and laying off developers. That's also something happening across the entire industry. Some posters on Era as well as these gamers would have you believe that none of it would have happened without the merger, which seems misguided, IMO.How are the plaintiffs harmed by the price increase? According to their own statements, the plaintiffs only have a PC or Playstation.🤦♂🙃
Quick note though I bought a years worth for when mine expires next year but they expire after a few months, so good job I checked.
right now it probably a political nightmare to enter the market and not get targeted by the Chinese government like bytedance with tiktok and possible another trade war on the horizonMay be a random question but is it not strange that with Phil/Satya's mission statement of eventually reaching "a billion gamers" or whatever it was that they've just kind of ceded initiative to Sony in trying to establish themselves in China? That's supposed to be this gigantic untapped market that's primed to take off in the coming years and you see PlayStation making a big effort to break through there.
If I'm not mistaken, Chinese players are MASSIVELY into mobile and PC games. Things Microsoft excel in. And yet I don't really see any effort on the part of Xbox to try to get their foot in at this ChinaJoy thing that's going on whereas Sony have a large presence.
Is that weird? Or is the Xbox brand just a complete nonstarter there like is is most places so they aren't bothering?
got a quick reminder how my reaction/accuracy speed is terrible lol.

They are just going to try and expand via mobile and PC. Don't need the console for that.
In terms of indie games, Microsoft got a joint venture with ehome:

It doesn't mean they aren't gonna be on Xbox (or Nintendo Switch for that matter). Just means you gotta wait as Sony investment in indies over there probably got an exclusive terms for a year or two.
Examples of games brought later to Xbox are FIST and Hardcore Mecha:

I think the small indie team and ehome are doing best they can with how limited Microsoft is with budget and resources as we saw recently regarding EMEA marketing budget.
Right now, Playstation is the console to own if you want anime action games from Asia and the biggest missing piece of the puzzle: gacha anime games.
Genshin Impact, Honkai, Zenless Zone Zero, Wuthering Waves, Tower of Fantasy, Neverness to Everness, Arknights etc.
This is the biggest money maker in Asian video game industry that Microsoft struggling to enter.
They are hopefully trying with recent NetEase partnership:

Sorry for the long post but this topic is honestly why Xbox is not mainstream in Europe and Asia as they keep missing out on the biggest Chinese anime games nowadays along with Cygames (Granblue studio) from Japan as they are now expanding further too.
I do appreciate them bringing Wuchang tho and I can't lie and say they didn't try with games like Party Animals, Naraka and of course, Palworld from Japan.
However, these three games are or will be on Playstation but no sign of seeing any MiHoyo game on Xbox. 🙃
Tl;dr just hire me.
cool! thanks for the scoop
How do you "work" on this? Money was never the problem imo, it was opportunity cost.
They stopped supporting Xbox One with MT Framework.
You work on it by letting someone else do it like say, Digital Eclipse? Give them support to do it? I don't know honestly but it's doable.
I guess that's kinda what I'm getting at. Capcom doesn't see value in that. Hence why they don't have the staff or the will to port the games.They stopped supporting Xbox One with MT Framework.

I haven't had so much fun in a new MP game in ages with COD MW3'S MP. WarZone Battle Royal and other is so bloody fantastic. I get why people rave so much about it now, the gameplay is just THAT GOOD. Holy fuck, what an experience.
Microsoft must be laughing having all the ActiBlizz Publisher now with what's cooking. God damn this game is so good I want Black Ops 6 to come right now baby!
So gooood.
It will, but also it's going to take multiple years of CoD being associated with Xbox to have a really significant impact. Expecting it all to change in year one is not realistic.I'm starting to think that if Xbox can market adequately Black Ops 6 could really be a big moment for the Xbox platform and the perception that the casuals have for it.
MW3 is a damn incredible MP CoD game, Sledgehammer deserves a lot of praise for how they've handled this game.I haven't had so much fun in a new MP game in ages with COD MW3'S MP.
