Alternate thread title: Xbox trolling greatest hits, infinite repeat.

Literally one of his main points is referencing Ralph Constantino, the failing developer that bombed at retail with Arkane at Zenimax so badly that his teams were forced to make GAAS and roguelike games, bombed with his indie game Weird West, despite taking payouts from subs 3x, and is now complaining that he's not getting yet another bailout.

Zero new information in the entire article. Softcore porn for PS fans to click on.

You mistake Ralph Constantino and Raphaël Colantonio, French dev that worked for Arkane. They're not the same persons at all, and it seems that you mix their careers also ? Weird !

I thought so, I guess Dr.Morris79 is implying he is leaving the UK or gaming all together then

Pretty much

If anything wants my photo ID, I won't be using it. It's pretty simple and I can live without it.

I haven't had to upload any photo ID as of yet, and that's fine by me.

If everything ends up wanting 'photo ID' in the UK, then I guess I won't be using a lot of things

You either take a stand, or you don't. Makes no difference to me. As for gaming, I've enough to last a few lifetimes.

So having the line of 'Leaving gaming' seems quite ironic and that I'll somehow miss out if I don't bend over..

Never going to happen.

Microsoft just seems more cutthroat than ever. They have their eyes on the AI race and will sacrifice whatever is needed to compete in it.

As far as a business, that's probably way more important but as someone who's into gaming, it sucks. But games just dont matter to them, not like they do for Sony, Nintendo, and other devs.

Trusting them to prioritize anything in gaming just isn't smart.

Xbox's death can't come soon enough.

They did far more harm to the industry than contributed good.

One of the biggest cancer they inflicted was paid multiplayer.

Sony decided to be greedy and follow them, but without xbox I think we would have had free multiplayer on consoles.

You really need Balls to tell that a 4 Trillion Dollar Company who still makes record Profits besides their XBox Consoles Hardware Sales.

This is about the gaming division at Xbox. You think that because the company overall is worth $4 trillion that no part of it can be criticized?

By the looks of thing, PlayStation will soon also become an unstable platform to invest in. Difference is my post isn't written using an LLM

Whose post are you saying is written with an LLM? Or are you talking about the GameSpot article?

I'm just hoping my $150 expansion card is compatible with the next system

Don't worry. Some chinese hacker will develop some adapter for you to use it with your Dreamcast

 

[spookyfish]

I have really enjoyed their hardware -- not One, but One X was nice -- since the beginning. Series X is a beast.

But, if I'm being honest, I don't know if I'll buy another Xbox.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I follow you

They'll never take me!!!

What an absolute joke it's all become though

I honestly believe though that if this crap carries on to such a degree, I have a strong suspicion that pen and paper is going to make a tremendous come back..

 

[Fafalada]

Oh.....I know they are. Still hard to believe looking back at the train wreck called Xbox over the last 12 years.

Well given their next effort is apparently a 3do, its off to a great start.

Someones hurt about PS going multiplatform.

While some of MS's decisions hurt the industry they also helped revolutionise it especially with the Xbox and 360, alto of the systems we have these days wouldnt of happened without their contribution

One area I hated was when they made private party chats, ruined social gaming completely for me

...party chats (private or not) which were locked behind the Xbox live paywall.

Netflix too - imagine having to subscribe to a sub just to be able to...watch another subscription service, granted, they lifted that requirement in 2014 but...

Swing and a miss. I don't give two fucks about Sony first party. I dog on them all the time on this forum.

And no, they didn't revolutionize a damn thing.

Dreamcast already had fully functioning online gaming ecosystem and anything MS did after that was basic common sense iteration.

I would gladly give up Xbox's 'contributions' to gaming by wishing they never entered the space in the first place. Overall it would be a big net positive.

The most successful Third Party Publisher, they say

 

[Neofire]

Yet Sony is trying to port games to that dying platform that can't even move its own software lol.

 

[GriffinCorp]

I love Xbox but GamePass has become the only talking point the executives care about. I feel like they should just go 3rd party and can the hardware team a few years early. Everyone one can see it coming...

OK, he had more posts than you. My mistake, I only paid attention to the pile of posts you have in the thread...

The fact is that the "same number of posts" is secondary; the main thing was the substance. And yes, the substance is the surprise I get when someone who also has a ton of posts in the same thread, responding to every comment or reaction that doesn't fit with what he likes, mocks and points the finger at someone else for posting a ton of posts defending his opinion or approving of someone else's opinion. And if your problem with him was that he used GIFs of baskets and dunks... dude, you get that kind of reaction every day, every minute. All the posts with mockery, insults, jokes, and contempt you can imagine in every thread on this forum, and you have people with 15, 20, or more posts almost in a row in other threads, and, "Surprise!" I don't see you with the need to make the same mockery or discredit? Indeed, is that in those cases, the narrative being defended is another one more to your liking, and you don't have the same eagerness and impetus to discredit or mock the subject in question??. It is what look like


In short, why am I going to lie to you? I said "I'm surprised" sarcastically... I wasn't surprised, honestly. It was just amused and disappoint even more so when the double standard come from someone who, I could think, intends to bring some seriousness to the discussions on this forum with tons of examples of console wars every moments.

There was nothing wrong with the substance of my posts and no double standard. I could say the exact same thing to you. why did you have a problem with my innocuous post saying somebody is working overtime spamming the thread and not to say yourself complaining about users leaving emojis?

Wow, look where the lazy robot is doing something other than mining with emoji every PS comment that is not "PS save me my life and my dog's lifetons"

Congratulations, it's a big step

Yet you're here talking about "double standards"?

His working overtime was related to the substance of his posts not to the count, his posts looked like this:

He was leaving reaction emojis everywhere then spamming with reaction gifs on top. I wonder why you picked on drganon but have no problem with Rickmasters behaviour here? Instead you have a problem with me pointing out that he is working overtime spamming this stuff. You decide instead to have a problem with the number of times I've directly responded to people? So were you the problem when you did the same to drganon? I'm not surprised at what you're doing here either, it's pretty obvious.

LOL. You're seriouly trying to compare my reaction to a specific person who had a whole thread harassing and insulting me, and whose forum participation is limited to console wars and harassing anyone who doesn't point out what he want VS my quote to you here....... Then everything explains itself and it's proof of my suspicions with you.

If you didn't have double standards, you'd probably be pointing out and mocking the behavior of idiots like demigod equal or more frequently than you would people like Rickmaster instead of whitewashing and ignoring their behavior, but... . No surprise here "it's pretty obvios"

For the rest, you have many people doing the same attitude or even worse in every thread of the forum and add insults and mockery to those who do not share equal opinion and preferences..... Rickmasters participation in this thread is not even close to the most dangerous that you can see in this forum.
From here, I think the situation is obvious, but it wasn't necessary to get so upset over a simple joke on my part? Perhaps you felt there was some truth on it? The fact that you saw fit to search my history for any comments (not very well selected on your part) that served as a "and you too" to try to hide some regret and feel better about yourself? That's what it seems.
