  If you’re offered the job, take it I guess because no one expects you to succeed. If the internal expectations are to focus on the following: Minecraft, CoD, Diablo, WoW, Overwatch, Candy Crush, then maybe this person will excel in that direction. Also all those being video games that found success before Microsoft

  Actually trying to make Xbox a success, it’s been nearly 13 years of trying to course correct and probably a good amount north of 100 billion dollars and still no strong consistent lineup of new releases. Fable can knock it out the park but that would just be one single player AAA game hit for Xbox after 13 years. So I imagine her expectations are going to be in managing what’s proven profitable and winding down what’s been proven to be outside of what they’re good at

  Still waiting for FFIX pixel hd remake. Or update the regular FFIX with that faster combat animations mod so it’s pleasant out the box

  Forza Motorsport being a flop was most upsetting to me. Probably the best funded simcade game next to Gran Turismo with a long development time and they fall flat and it still doesn’t even work on Linux. Forza Motorsport should be low hanging fruit with their experience and budget and they still managed to drop the ball

  Stopped buying Ubisoft games for years. Don’t even play the ones I already have. It’s been a crappy company since at least Assassin’s Creed 2 single player always online pioneering

  Good for me. It’s almost like how all the Switch Pro rumors became Switch 2 rumors and people being in denial it could be 2 because that’d be too weak in the year of release. Switch 2 is fine. Designs at this point are advanced. No sudden switching to 2030 GPU/CPU designs. You’ll get AMD 2027 designs in 2030 and budget gaming PCs in 2030+ will feast because of that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Me having spent zero dollars on this. Only interaction ever was installing that hangar thing back when it was the only thing. Maybe there was some demo when the space station first became available and some fps gameplay test.

  Still looking forward to it. If the story is good, works on Linux, I’ll buy it. I remember a decade ago being worried the Haswell and Maxwell PC I was putting together wouldn’t be good enough when Star Citizen would drop. Not very concerned anymore
