President of Xbox at Microsoft asked about the closure of Hi-Fi Rush developer Tango Gameworks, spends close to a minute saying almost nothing

Jeez, somehow she simultaneous says nothing and repeats herself constantly.

So… At what point do gamers start sending a message. “Microsoft: why are players cancelling their game pass subscriptions?”

Or does the smackdown happen from the creator side “Microsoft: why doesn’t anybody want to make games on our platform anymore?”

They wouldn’t pull this kind of shit if there were monetary repercussions. So, why do these bullshit strategies work?

I’ve been an Xbox fan for a long time and 3 months ago my GamePass Ultimate subscription ran out. Been pondering buying up another 3 years to continue it since Hellblade 2 is coming out this month. This recent fiasco has changed my opinion of Xbox and I will no longer be supporting Xbox as I have been. Might buy a month membership just to play Hellblade for less than the actual price of the game, but otherwise I’m done. Fuck them

You know how kids will want anything that has their favourite character on it? Gamers are just like that. Elder Scrolls 6 can have 1 minute ads in between areas and it would still top sales charts because gamers cannot stop themselves.

I really hope the recent pushback Sony got will spark a new norm but I’m very cynical.

Someone would just release a mod that replaces the ads with Monty Python sketches.

I think Sony just delisted Ghost of Tsushima from all countries where PSN isn’t available, even though it’s primarily a single player game that won’t require PSN.

So Sony is still on their bullshit, even though they conceded over Helldivers.

You can start by not buying GamePass, or preordering games.

You are asking a lot because gamers are the dumbest fucking people on the planet.

Now that they have purchased the IP for Evil Within series and Hi-Fi Rush, they destroyed their competitor, and at the same time, no more series will be produced for fans of their games. Fuck capitalism.
