I wasn't talking about movies/TV streaming devices but game streaming/Cloud Gaming devices primarily. Sony won't allow it on the non Playstation branded hardware. And while Xbox doesn't need one, it's good for brand presence and marketing.
I wonder if Gabe wouldn't sell at say a 100 billlion. Like he's got to have a limit at which point, he'll be like 'scrrew pc gaming, I just want unlimited money'.
Hopefully, he releases at least one game before he does that.So he can leave the company and open a new one.
That article just took information that was already posted in the Matt and Asha statement. Why make a new thread?
Yeah Microsoft would never be allowed to own Valve. That puts them directly in a threat for monopoly by owning the biggest store and biggest OS. Even a close collaboration would probably be enough for trial. But I don't know the legal stuff so take that with a boatload of salt. I guess it's possible that it would be okay if nobody sell anything with Windows or Microsoft Store or Steam preinstalled. Blank slate PCs only. But idk. Even Valve alone is close enough to have extra eyes on them because they own 75% of the PC storefront market, if Epic and GOG closed shop Gabe might suddenly sit in a trial.
It would be really weird if game designers at R* didn't have a high-level scripting language at their disposal to design missions, (world) events, do balancing and all the other stuff that game designers do. They usually don't touch engine internals nor are even aware of how the engine they work with actually works. Nor should they have to know it, that's the responsibility of the engine programmers.

Ubi makes some kickass games. Especially when its not AC or one of their tired properties. (Avatar FOP, POP TLC etc.)
Bro, I wasn't sharing an opinion. I shipped a dozen games in the past decades.
Haven't checked the thread.
Well I don't know if it's just trolling but people want them to acquire SIE and steam...
Hopefully trolling, it's incredible to believe they would want this hobby destroyed.
I actually program in C++ when I have to use Unreal (which isn't a lot, admittedly. Only for projects that use VR in some way. Most of my work is spent on renderers and stuff that we have written from scratch). I don't know why you seem to feel personally attacked. My apologies if that is the case. But my argument still stands that game designers usually don't work with languages like C++ (and shouldn't have to). There are better languages and tools available because they have different problems to solve for which C++ is usually not the right tool.Bro, I wasn't sharing an opinion.

R* doesn't have a design opening at the moment, but here's an old one I dug up real quick:
Required skill is strong C# programming. No high-level scripting nonsense. R* need the code to be fast, they don't need a script kiddie "ideas guy".
Go back to your Unreal Blueprints
No. They are doing the voluntary retirement thing now and then they will go back to straight up firing. M&A is key to keeping up with that plan.
Ubisoft is French though, the American laws don't apply to it. They would apply to Epic, or Riot.
It's trolling on the most part. Most of those people posting that shit arent Xbox fans even
Oh I wouldn't fuck with the cheer squad, you'll get turbo AIDS.
So..... Everyone?
It's a double edged sword, they're on the insecure side, they have to act first.
He was %100 pushed out imo.
Theres also the fact Japanese companies are protected by Japanese law and any purchase greater than 10% has to be signed off by the Japanese government. So fuck that guy, but if Xbox is going down this road again screw them, Playstation should buy Kadokawa, Capcom and Konami. Keep all the best games as Playstation exclusive. Sick to death of Xbox ruining everything
You win NeoGAF.
They can't even think about buying Ubisoft for 15 years (13 now?).
You will, unfortunately, find a lot of braindead sorts of comments whenever this type of news hits! The saying "those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it" is often lost when it comes to many in the gaming community. Just no self awareness at all. You'd have thought big purchases like Acti and the major negatives that came as a result taught people something, but alas, it's 2026 and here we are seeing the same sort of nonsense. They simply don't get it.
Valve and Epic are effectively the real rebel from every bs move MS makes.
